This Isn't a Tickling Contest

"This Isn't a Tickling Contest" - Before the 950 grain GrizzlyStik system, dangerous game hunters had several homemade recipes for building arrows. Stuffers were the norm (sleeving a shaft with a shaft) along with adding salt, sand or lead shot inside the arrow shaft to build up mass weight and structural integrity. Not very sophisticated technology when hunting an animal that could tap dance on your head. The resulting arrow performance ranged from 'meh' to downright dangerous. PH's of the day will tell you, 8 out of 10 buffalo had to be dispatched with the rifle due to poor arrow penetration.GrizzlyStik wanted to change that. We knew bowhunters and their PH's needed a system that could be used straight from the box to proficiently kill buffalo. Following Dr. Ed Ashby's 30 years of empirical arrow penetration testing, we designed and built our system utilizing tapered, high FOC arrows and razor sharp, forged single bevel broadheads.The results over the past decade? Over 1,700 confirmed - archery kill - Cape & asiatic buffalo. GrizzlyStik has earned the gold standard with the world's best PH's and our customer names dominate the top of both the SCI and DSC record books.

North Central Montana Public Land Elk

My first elk ever. I’m from Southern Illinois and got the elk in North Central Montana on a public land unit. It was an all day stalk in 30+ mph winds which helped me close the distance to 30 yards. The shot blew THROUGH his right scapula, hit both lungs and stopped as it split a rib on the left side.[...]

Slow Start, Strong Finish

Overall, it was a slow start to the pre-rut, but with temps dipping down into the low 30s, what a difference a front can make in the deer woods. Sitting in the dark I could hear grunting, chasing and snort wheezing in the woods in front of me. After daylight broke things quieted down. An hour later a[...]
