The .500 NE of Bowhunting
| The .500 NE of Bowhunting - "l got this sable on a side hunt while hunting for elephant. After nine days of hard tracking I couldn't resist the opportunity at this beautiful buck. I know, I know, I know - I'm sure most think my set up was overkill for a plains game but I can report the system works flawlessly on smaller animals too.My elephant system is a 1365 grain (all in) Momentum TDT arrow tipped with a 315 grain Ashby broadhead and shot from my 90# bow. My arrows have a 28% FOC. With this set up, if I bottom my sight out, I can get a 50 yard pin.We stalked to within 53 yards and I let it fly with the buck broadside. I guess my arrow arc is close to 8' at that distance. The TDT stuck him in the meat of the near side shoulder, passing through and splitting the offside humerus bone in half. The buck never took another step before he was down permanently. I love these GrizzlyStik setups, they make me feel invincible!" - Brent Smith |
