Choosing the Most Lethal Broadhead for your Bowhunting Success - with GrizzlyStik

Broadheads for Big Game - Choosing the Most Lethal Broadhead for your Bowhunting Success
Everyone who has bow hunted for a number of years knows what it feels like to lose an animal. In your lifetime you will have a limited number of opportunities at big game. No one wants to miss out on a good opportunity because they used arrows and broadheads that didn't have what it takes to bring down big game animals with clean lethal performance.
Losing animals isn’t good for the bowhunter, the outfitter (if one is used) or the animals.
That’s why, here at Grizzlystik, we design and manufacture arrows and broadheads that SET YOU UP FOR SUCCESS.
When you shoot GrizzlyStik full length tapered carbon arrows and our tough, ultra-sharp cut on contact broadheads - you’re stacking the odds in your favor that you will harvest your big game animals - even when things go wrong. As in all hunting, there always comes a time when things go wrong.
GrizzlyStik is interested in helping bowhunters with their bowhunting success. Whether is’ our Arrow and Broadhead System or even us sharing bowhunting tips to help you with your hunting, Grizzlystik has your back.
Test the GrizzlyStik System for yourself!

Put the pvc on a scale and measure the amount of force

[@justinleavens]

Guys, I have bow hunted since 1989. I have seen this sport go through rediculous changes, then it comes back around full circle. While viewing hundreds of Indian stone arrowheads on a farm just yesterday, this is basically back to where archery has gone. Strong, single or double blades, period. Adding the right bevel with right arrow twist is taking it to the next level. Building broadheads from stainless steel is the cherry on top. I just sharpened my broadheads and of them all, my Grizzly Stick heads are the only ones I didn't have to re-sharpen after Elk Season last year. My carbon steel broadheads (not single bevel edge) by Zwiky and Bear, will stand up to only one shot. If you miss, kiss that broadhead goodbye. Cheaper, they are my backup arrowheads. I promise you, my first arrow and broadhead combo I reach for in my overpriced quiver is my Grizzly Stick 330/Massai 150 Grain Package. The overall arrow weight is just over 610 grains (arrow alone is 462), and let me tell you, with the tapered design (fat in front, skinny in back), and the design and steel advantages of the broadheads, these things are worth every dollar. My five point bull was shot right in the front shoulder, the arrow passed all the way through and punched out the back AFTER going through the scapula. The reason I switched to heavy arrows is because I can screw any tip on, and things are stable. Forget speed, men. Forget skinny carbon arrows. Get back to fat aluminums like the old Gamegetters, or man up and get into a set of Grizzly Sticks. An object in motion, stays in motion. The heavier the object, the more motion. Pass through shots is the goal. Pair this with design innovations, and you are in Grizzly Stick heaven. Hey Grizzly Stick, I need another half dozen arrows, hook me up with a discount!?

Wow, you are a million gazillion % right. I'm so glad you guys used Dr Ed Ashby as a reference. He should be a mandatory read for every serious bow hunter. I just got reading some of his stuff. From what I got was a 650 grain arrow and a well made single blade broadhed can kill any land animal in north america using at least a 55# bow. Of course one reason was the one you gave but also a heavier arrow will carry more momentum down range than a lighter faster arrow. All your videos are great and very informational. Thanks

[@danielcarter7657]

The versatility of the solid blade is the main selling point as you can drill straight through otherwise non navigable areas of meat and bone into the organs that stop anything fast and give you the best recovery scenario , I have taken a few deer with mechanical or 3-4 blade designs but there is irrefutable evidence of the superiority of the single bevel heavy arrow builds

[@takashi0352]

I have never seen Tim Gillingham actually shoot an animal. I have seen him taking pics next to them, but not actually taking the shot. Plus he dry fired a bow at the 2017 ata show with a sky draw. He would be kicked off any range for doing that.

[@paulczaja3262]

Takashi Tamanaha Was that's pretty crazy, I hadn't heard that. I missed ATA last year due to work. Thanks for sharing that. Tim is a friend of mine we don't see eye to eye on equipment or set up. He has some crazy cool shoots on video, hunting wise. Anyhow thanks again I got something I tease him with

[@InvestorAcademyPodca]

Tim basically argues that mechanicals fly better, which is likely true. He is a target archer and likely focuses mostly on what makes him a better shot. The problem is that if your broadhead doesn't get where it needs to then it doesn't matter how good of a shot a guy makes.

[@mathewprime3556]

I would recommend doing a flight test at 75 yards with single bevel vs fixed, your concern will not be bone slitting action but finding the broad head in the dirt.

[@brooksrange6978]

Shuttle T augers a hole through animals. Although I love double blades back to Fred Bear's design. Hunting in Alaska I have seen and been cut by lots of blades that have failed inside the animal while cleaning them. Shuttle T's fly perfect and blow holes in Big Bear and Moose. I'd like to see you do a shooting comparison between the two. Can you go from field tip to Broadhead and not make any sight adjustments? I've been bow hunting for over 35years and at first I didn't think much of the shuttle T's but soon switched as soon as I seen the aftermath first hand. Wound and blood channels like you've never seen before. I would also like to see your broadheads used in a real world application shoot some big animals. Don't just push it through carboard, because there are a lot of other variables then just that playing into effect. How do they fly with a F.O.B.? I shoot caribou and unreal distance's because with a F.O.B. there is almost no side wind affects on the arrow in flight. I hope you don't think this is argumentative. I very much like what I see in your product there I would just like to see them actually perform.

[@brooksrange6978]

Hey sorry I have now watched a few more videos you all have. Deffently have my interest up. I would like to see a F.O.B. test in wind and penetration against the shuttle T's tho. Spring bear is coming up if I have time maybe I'll try myself and let you all know. Thanks guys be safe out there and happy hunting!

[@Master-Shannon]

If you are going to talk about design, penetration, robustness, advantage of a chisel grind and cutting performance wouldn’t it be beneficial to also mention the steel quality and reasons for the selection of that steel in regards to durability and edge retention etc?

[@ccleadge]

i can see the shaft being the week point as its not a silid cut (1 peice) broadhead.

[@isaacjestus]

Probably the best way to show mechanical advantage that I have seen.

[@mathewjaycox843]

Be aware of local regs on if you can use a 2 blade. Alberta requires at least 3 blades with a 1.3 inch cut.

[@crunch9876]

Why?

[@maineoutdoorsman677]

A regular broad head always penetrates way deeper then a 3 blade but single blade hase less cutting diameter less cutting edge then a 3 blade an single have know too clot up an not bleed as much that's why they' built 3 blades .an the civil war bayonet had a try blade harder too stitch up an more blood came out .my brother shot a 5 blade I can't remember the name but 5 one inch razors an he killed a lot an imean a lot of deer 30 or more .we eat deer meat year round an have been killing big bucks since I was 14 now 45 .great video I prefer the old 2 blade 100 gr nap expandable broad head flys great an zips right through both forward shoulders .good hunting from mid coast Maine

to be lethal, a broadhead has to hit the vitals. and pretty much any broadhead out there is going to be lethal if it hits the vitals. it's when shooters take low%, marginal shots on game that then depend on a head to have to cut through bone, etc to get to the vitals. but if a high % shot is taken, most any broadhead will be lethal. shooters love to blame a broadhead for their failure.

[@casey197930]

Nailed it. I've never known a great shooter to put much thought into the heads. We sure the hell don't blame heads for lost animals.

Its not about a pass through it’s about the amount of blood that comes out. A 3 blade will put a triangular hole which allows a lot of blood out

[@MrDarwhite]

With a pass through, on average you double the amount of blood that comes out. (Two holes vs one) A pass through is the goal.

[@crunch9876]

@@MrDarwhite in reality a pass through bleeds s lot more than double. As with a non pass through often the arrow itself plugs the hole

[@the45er]

I would love to use a fixed two-blade broadhead like this but every one I've tried has simply been impossible (for me) to get to fly consistently well at any arrow speeds over 275 fps. They plane badly and end up flying all over the place!

[@Eldrave20]

Rob Abbott increase the FOC, they will level out.

[@ccleadge]

that is a common issue with all fixed 2 blade broadheads, they have the ability to steer the arrow, either lower your arrow speed, go with a 3 blade fixed which is alligned with the vanes or go mechanical.

[@dege2888]

Also depends on the size of your vanes. Had blazer 2 inch vanes and my magnus buzzcut stingers planed. Put on 3 inch vanes and now they fly straight at over 300fps

[@tiberiu_nicolae]

If you're only looking at "mechanical advantage" might as well shoot a point with no blades

[@zzz7zzz9]

that test was stupid. for starters, you were using a cut-on-contact against a chisel-tip. obviously the cut-on-contact will slice through easier. just like a 2-blade will go through with less effort than a 3-blade. this is common-sense, no testing needed. but the worst thing, was you were just using your own force. that's not consistent in any way.

[@non-typicalhunter6776]

Thats like saying...its not a fair test comparing a mech vs a 2 blade fixed....when hjnting bvb your asking the heads to do the same job. The benefits a 2" head have are in direct correlation to their short commings.

[@GIboy1990]

yes its not super scientific, but it doesn't have to be either. you can tell the difference using your own force applied between the two, just as you can tell the difference between an empty barbell and one with 2 45lb plates on it.

[@MrRazorback1975]

The Ed Ashby group has become a cult of sorts. The idea that there is only one way, their way, to take down large game, is highly inaccurate. They’ve convinced a lot of people that 650 grain arrows are necessary because Ed stated this is the “bone breaking “ threshold. If you listen closely, you won’t hear much about trajectory and it’s effect on accuracy in these discussions. Accuracy will always be #1 when accessing lethality of an arrow. There also isn’t much discussion about the individuals setup, draw length, poundage, etc. I’ve killed dozens of big game animals with mechanical Broadheads, something that should not be possible according to the Ashby camp.Different setups for different applications.

LOL did the GrizzlyStik guys pay the LimbDriven guys OR are the LimbDriven guys the GrizzlyStik guys. Regardless their is no unit of measurement what so ever other than, "WOW the one that I'm being paid to promote is WAY easier than the one I bought at Wal-Mart." I also like the speculation of a 5 inch wound channel, which is possible through the guts because of the folds and "stacking," if you will, but a 1 3/8 isn't going to cut a 5 inch wound channel on a broadside shot. You'd have to take an EXTREME quartering shot to even come close to cutting a hole that is a little less than 3.65 times larger than the mass you're shooting. At that point you might as well shoot it through the ass, which is unethical, which is also ironic but lets get back to science and math. Unless you're creating mass, which is impossible as stated first in the Law of Conservation of Mass and in the Principal of Mass Conservation a 5 inch wound channel that is 363.10% larger than the broadhead is absurd. I also did the math since skin and tissue on animals will stretch before it tears or cuts, and the most you'd be getting if the skin and tissue stretched before it cuts with a 13/8 broadhead would be 1.833 inches at a shot angle of 0 degrees. At a 45 degree angle to MOST would be 2.002 inches. So I guess the other 2.998 inches is filled with bullshit to give you your 5 inch wound channel. Of course this is on a broadside shot. Quartering shots are different but I can only offer rough numbers. If an animal is facing away at 82 degrees, with a shot angle of 0 degrees with a 1 3/8 inch cut your maximum entrance hole is about 2.844. At 45 degrees with the animal still at 82 degrees and a 1 3/8 head your hole is 3.013 which still isn't your "5 inch hole." Of course with a bigger head these number change drastically.

Structural integrity to me requires a one piece billet tool steel head, no screws or aluminum CNC machined and hardened to at least 50Rc, as for ease of penetration a 2 blade will win every time and important for youth and women shooting low poundage and a short draw. The sharpness is very important as you stated, however a blade with a curved surface is much more difficult and time consuming to re-sharpen than a straight blade. You mention that quality steel is important, but exactly what metals are you using and what is the hardness? Are your ferrels aluminum? They look like it. My choice for a single bevel 2 blade is the Cut Throat, it is constructed from a one piece billet of tool steel and hardened to 55 RC, very easy to sharpen, has the tanto point and is 1/3 the price of your over priced inferior head!

Wounds 2-4x the blade width and "L" or "starburst" have been seen regularly because the blade which is acually turning in the animal winds up the organs and tissues inside, once tight enough (which isnt much if your head is actually sharp) w.e its touching is cut.
