**The Big Dream** • Each of us has our own path, our own dreams, our own story to write. Tommy Marks has been dreaming about hunting brown bears in Alaska since he was a boy. In gearing up for a trip of this magnitude, Tommy understandably asked alot of arrow & broadhead questions. What he soon found was he could get lots of "opinions" on what to shoot but no "authority" with a track record of success. That's when Tommy called GrizzlyStik. With over 90 customer brown bears taken, 7 P&Y top 20's and the current World Record......he knew he had found the right place. After testing, Tommy selected the 650 system of Momentum TDT arrows tipped with Maasai 200 single bevel broadheads. His TAW hit Dr. Ashby's heavy bone threshold of 650 grains and had a massive 26% FOC. The results? ‐ One shot success and a childhood dream realized.
