Three happy elk hunters

Three happy elk hunters who all used our GrizzlyStik Samurai single bevel broadheads in 125 grains.

"GrizzlyStik, I wanted to provide a field report on your samurai broadheads from the hunting grounds of Montana. We hunt elk almost exclusively and wanted a head that would perform during all shot conditions. We have had good success in the past with the Magnus stinger heads which have a tanto cutting head but they will not go through an elk shoulder which unfortunately happens at times. We switched to 125 grain Samurai heads this year and killed 3 bulls with the heads, photos attached. None of the arrows passed thru although 2 penetrated the far side and were barely hanging in. All elk died within 150 yards. We did not get a true test of the scapula bone penetration performance although one shot went in at an angle in front of one shoulder and behind the trailing shoulder. This arrow did not push through the hide on the far side but went through the massive sternum/rib area in front of the shoulder….this elk died in seconds as the arrow angled thru the heart. We all shoot modern compound bows over 65#. Overall, very happy with the heads and will continue to use them next year." Thanks, Richard J. West
