Got full penetration

Categories: Success stories , Water Buffalo & Nilgai

"Hi Garrett, Hope all is well. Wanted to get you a report on the Australia water buffalo hunt. I ended up taking only one shot, but that's all we needed. Stalked in to 34 yards, put the Ashby Broadhead into the heart. Got full penetration, the bull went 72 yards and tipped over. It was impressive. I was shooting BowTech's Insanity set at 82 lbs., with a 28 1/2 draw, a 745 grain arrow (Gold Tip's Kinetic Big GameXT), and moving at 345 fps, it generated 98.47 ft. lbs of KE. The best part, we caught it all on film for our TV show, Trijicon's The Hunt, and it will air next year on the Sportsman Ch. Thanks for your help along the way...next stop, Zimbabwe, where we'll be trying that same setup on Cape buffalo. Thanks again, and keep up the great work!" - Scott Haugen
