Sometimes Things Go Wrong

 

“Sometimes Things Go Wrong” - This video is a case study of what happens when a shot on a Cape Buffalo hits higher than planned. The 315 grain forged Ashby broadhead has enough structural integrity and mass to overcome the huge spine bone even though the FMJ shaft splits at the insert.

Robert Ruark immortalized the phrase “use enough gun.” The same principles apply in bowhunting. Use enough broadhead....so even if things go wrong (a high shot in this case) you give yourself the highest chance of lethal penetration.

Since the inception of the Ashby broadhead in 2007, GrizzlyStik customers have successfully harvested well over 1,000 Cape and Asiatic buffalo. The Ashby broadhead has earned an unmatched record on dangerous game – even when things go wrong.
