| Samurai Success - "I can't put into words how much confidence I feel shooting my Samurai broadheads. Everything I hit goes down fast. I shot this bull at 17 yards and my broadhead went thru BOTH shoulders and he was recovered within 50 yards! Thank you GrizzlyStik for building the best broadhead I have ever hunted with." - Frank Kusler |
| Quebec Bruiser - "This is my 47 inch moose I took this fall in Rimouski Reserve, Québec. 27 meter shot with a 765 grain (all in) GrizzlyStik Momentum TDT tipped with 315 grain Ashby broadheads. One shot and he was down fast. The arrow and broadhead penetration was awesome on such a big animal!" - Raynald Groleau |
Lifetime Hunt ✔ - "Just returned from my once in a lifetime bison hunt on the Henry Mountains of Utah. I used the Momentum TDT arrows with the 200 grain Massai broadheads making a total arrow weight of 650 grains.
As you can see from the pictures there was very little cover in the area where we shot this bull. Because of that I knew that the shots would be pretty long. My first shot was at 54 yards and was a complete pass through including going through a rib on the opposite side. Because of the size of the bison and not wanting to risk a long tracking job, I took 2 additional shots.
The second shot was from 44 yards and the third was from 49 yards. Shot three was also a complete pass through. The bull was dead in 3 minutes and traveled only 150 yards. Thank you for making what I have come to believe are the best arrows and broad heads money can buy. I will be using them for the rest of my life." - Ben Towers, UT |
| 4 Reason's to Switch to GrizzlyStik - "I’ve never been a huge fan of switching arrow setups during the middle of the hunting season. With the Momentum TDT arrows and Massai 200 broadheads I’ve finally found one setup that truly does it all. Over the last few years I’ve put the GrizzlyStik 650 system to work and the results have been outstanding! Thanks GrizzlyStik, I appreciate it." - Adam Kane |
|
| Keith Baggett didn't have a 55 gallon drum or concrete block to test his Maasai 125 single bevel broadeads on - so he improvised by using a whole moose. |
| Sage Advise - "Listen, if you shoot a stickbow and are thinking about shooting the GrizzlyStik 650 system - just do it! Since I made the switch, I've loosed 3 arrows and 3 big game animals have hit the ground. What else do you need to know?" |
**Light Bow Poundage Pass Through(s)** - "This is my wife Brenda with her big Montana moose she took with her 50# bow. She shot him at 40 yards and the arrow completely passed through (red arrow in the quiver)! He only made it 15 steps and fell over - dead in maybe 30 seconds.
It's her 4th moose she has taken with the 650 GrizzlyStik arrow & broadhead system. Two bulls in Alberta, one in BC and this bruiser. All four bulls were one shot kills with complete pass throughs. Now that's "Real" performance!" - Dennis Johnson |
| Henry Mountain Monster - "Hi Garrett, pictures attached as promised. The 650 grain GrizzlyStik system was incredibly lethal! I had a complete passthrough on my Henry Mountains Bison and wasn't able to find my arrow because it likely continued over a steep bluff 30 yards beyond the buffalo. All I can say is thank you and WOW!" - Aaron |
|
Magic Moose - "Rough hunting first 7 days, on 8th day and six hours from my flight leaving, we called this bull into us. He came in racking, calling, displaying and pissed off!
As soon as he turned broadside at 45 yards, I let go. He didn't know what happened. My GrizzlyStik passed right through the boiler room and was down in 150 yards.
Thank you GrizzlyStik for getting me set up for this hunt! This has been at the top of my list for since I was kid! I couldn't be happier!" - Ty Cary
For his Aladkan moose hunt, we set up Ty with our tapered Momentum TDT arrows tipped with our Silver Flame 125 broadheads. Shot from a 70# bow, his arrows came in at 525 grains (all in) and had a 20% FOC.

Aussie Rules – “Hi Garrett, I thought I would send you this picture of a Canadian Bull Moose I shot with my recurve. Used a 70# Black Widow bow and GrizzlyStik Momentum arrows tipped with cut-on-contact two blade broadheads (approx. 670 grain arrows).
Shot at 32 metres in Northern British Columbia after 11 days hard hunting…I’m from Australia so all the cold and snow was a real adventure for me! Thank you for all your advice on my gear and set up.” – Cheers, Ben Weatherall

Moose Math - “Last Spring I got my GrizzlyStik two arrow test pack and scheduled time at my local pro shop to have the arrows tuned to my 70# bow. The tech couldn’t believe I wanted to shoot a 650-grain arrow on my moose hunt and tried talking me out of it. He was convinced I should shoot a 400-grain arrow with a mechanical broadhead to “make a big hole and maximize my KE.” He thought my arrow was way too heavy and that Dr Ashby’s research was just - hype.
Well here is my Dr Ashby hype. A 19-yard, broadside pass-through, double lung, broken offside rib, down in 40-yard bull moose hype. My guide couldn’t believe how fast my bull went down!” – Jack Jacobson |

Real Deal Alaska - “Once again your GrizzlyStik broadheads and arrows performed flawlessly. I was able to fill the freezer full of moose meat. Last year I had to take a break from the bow to heal up my shoulder. This year I was able to use the bow and I was of course going to use the best broadheads available.
This is the third moose taken with the Maasai broadheads where I could not find the arrow. They are all buried somewhere in the dirt after complete pass through. Thanks for the great customer service and products.” - Ricky Ciletti

What arrows & broadheads do Alaskan guides recommend? - “My hunter had GrizzlyStik arrows. It wasn't the most ideal shot, it was quartering too, he hit him on the point of the shoulder went through, broke four ribs, and came out the hind quarter. I actually told the guy, hey you missed. I stopped the moose and he said I didn't miss and the moose fell over about 22 yards into it.
I went up and I couldn't find the arrow. I've never seen an arrow that could produce that much energy - to go the whole length of a moose - I've seen bullets not do that.
I'm with Deltana Outfitters and anybody that comes brown bear hunting with a bow they have to buy GrizzlyStik or I will not take them! They're the most fantastic performance arrows I have ever seen in 26 years of guiding." - Professional hunter & guide Bob Summers of Deltana Outfitters

Randsom Smtih used a GrizzlyStik Massai broadhead on a Victory VAP to harvest this Idaho Shiras Moose.
"Hi Garrett! I thought you might enjoy seeing my Yukon Moose taken with a 740 grain GrizzlyStik Momentum arrow with a 200 grain Maasai broadhead. It was an amazing gift after 10 solid days of backpack hunting.......we got an extra day due to a snowstorm preventing my flight out! We decoyed him across a raging river and for once, I did not feel like I showed up to a gunfight with a pocket knife! The bull quartered away at 35 yards and my shot hit both lungs and the heart - the humerus on the opposite side prevented a total pass through......he went back across the river and 100 yards into the woods and tipped over in minutes." Steve
"Just got back from my Buffalo hunt. Used your Silver Flame 125 Broadhead. Took my shot at 47 yards and he only went 40 yards. This is the best two blade broadhead I have used to date. Love how it is tunable with set screws, super sharp, and rock solid. The broadhead I used on the buffalo is still good! Thanks for a great product." Bobby Stiles Burnsville, NC

Congratulations to SCI - Houston Chapter President Oscar Taylor and his big bison taken with a GrizzlyStik Silver Flame double bevel broadhead.
Congratulations to Bill Keen! He took this bull moose with his stick bow and a GrizzlyStik Momentum arrow tipped with a GrizzlyStik Samurai single bevel broadhead. By the looks of the arrow - the GrizzlyStik system Bill used resulted in a pass-through on this big bodied moose.
"Arrow & broadhead performed flawlessly as usual. This bull was taken at 30 yards with GrizzlyStik arrows and broadheads from my 62lb recurve. Not only was it a complete pass through, the arrow stuck in a tree on the opposite side!
The compound shooters I was with couldn't believe it - better penetration than they got using light, skinny arrows with mechanical BH's.
Didn't really test the true capabilities of this combo though - I didn't hit any bone.
BTW - this is the arrow that you re-fleched for me at the last minute - the original fetching was too far from the knock, messed up my secondary anchor point. You fixed it (fast) & I made it count.
Love your products & service!" Bill Keen
Congratulations to Hugues Marcotte! He took this bison in British Colombia with a GrizzlyStik Silver Flame 100. The shot was at 30-yards, one shot kill.
"While being a weekend warrior hunting for moose to fill the freezer, my friend Miah and I set out to look for some good old Alaskan moose meat. We took a ride up the Aniak river to do some moose calling where we had seen some moose sign.
We made our way into a small creek to do some fishing. I noticed that there was some fairly fresh moose tracks on the shore near a beaver pond. I told Miah I was going to try some moose calls even though it was a little windy. After about 2-3 minutes I thought I heard the grunt of a bull moose. I told Miah that I thought I heard a moose responding. He gave me a look like I was crazy and hearing things.
I heard the grunt once again and my buddy still thought I was hearing things. After a few more calls I heard it again and Miah finally heard it. I told him to get ready because the bull is coming to us. He asked if I wanted my rifle which I left in the boat. I gave him a confident no.
When I finally saw antlers appear through the brush at 100 yards down stream - the bull saw me and stopped. I picked up my canoe paddle to fool him into thinking I was a bull moose. He immediately started to beat up the brush. Miah couldn't see the bull, but I told him it was a good one.
The bull slowly made his way towards us. Every once in a while he would stop to take a look at us. We would show the paddle to convince him that there was a moose over here challenging him. When he got to within 20 yards Miah was finally able to see him. I saw that he was going to work his way by us. so I set up on a beaver trail to get a clear lane for a shot.
The bull sounding like a bulldozer knocking trees over finally walked into my shooting lane at 10 yards. I drew the bow back, took aim and released the arrow. I saw the arrow enter his flesh and at that moment this big bull moose fell as if he were shot with a rifle.
Miah and I gave each other a high five. We couldn't believe what just happened. After field dressing the moose we found the broadhead resting against the opposite shoulder after going through the near side shoulder and spine.
The Maasai broadhead still looked great. Thanks for the great products they worked flawlessly and once again the freezer is full of meat." Richard Ciletti
"Hi Garrett, this spring I contacted you about your arrows and broadheads. I had seen some other bowhunters using your gear at the target range. After having an arrow setup fail on a bear hunt this spring. I lost all confidence in what I was using.
I decided it was time for a change, so I took the 650 challenge. I tested the Momentum arrows with 200 grain Maasai broadheads.
This fall I was able to harvest my largest bull moose with confidence. The arrow passed completely through the old bull with a 67 5/8" spread. It penetrated so well that I could not find the arrow. The moose went 15 yards before expiring. I'm a firm believer in this custom setup as it brought home the meat. Thank you for your help and great customer service." Ricky Ciletti
Jay Osting of Bowhunting Safari Consultants is a man of few words. Congratulations to him on this nice moose.
"Hi guys, Took this Yukon Moose last week at 8yds. Thanks for your support!"
Jay used GrizzlyStik Momentum tapered carbon arrows and Maasai broadheads.
