Grizzly Broadheads

This is one case in that I really don't think that it would have been a success had it not been a two blade single bevel. An African Gemsbok that the arrow centered a huge rib bone and still got into the goodies out of a 60 lb sinew backed osage bow. Heavy arrow weight and bow weight came into play here as well.

Yes Mike, Africa is where those type heads have their place for sure.

Looking forward to hearing about your hunt this year.

Interesting thread. And so many people claim that a broadhead can't make up for a bad shot.

Mike;
Was that a single bevel that took the Gemsbok?

Multi blades through the guts provide a bigger hole for more blood period. Also there is a chance for an intestinal trail also as I have been on more than several of those.

Big wide or multi blades through the guts release more toxins, causing the animal to lay down quicker.  And stay down without having them get up with the coagulated blood clot at the entrance and exit wound.  And then going off and leaving no trail.

If I can kill a 2100 pound American Boston with a 70 pound bow and a 3 blade it seems to reason thet that you should be able to kill a hundred and fifty pound deer with a multi blade or a wide two blade.  If not maybe you should check your equipment and your tune.

Yes, I totally agree.  And the fact, there's a thread I can't find on this to save my life, that animals step forward 90% of the time vs stepping backward. Any broadhead through the guts is going to kill the animal, the head determines where sooner or later, and either increases or decreases your odds of finding it.

I believe that thread got caught up in a forum that got deleted back in 2017 when we had to cut some forums for the conversion from the original Tradgang format/system. I certainly wish it was still here.

And I have posted many times, based on that thread as back up for my prior beliefs and reasons, that is the reason I shoot the most highly lethal head for the highest percentage of a worse case scenario. Animals step forward way way more than they step back.

Yes, a 185. I had a better picture showing the rib centered and how the head went through the rib and the damage it did in the process to the tissue around the wound channel, but couldn't find it.

Thanks, I'm a Snuffer, Grizzly Instinct and VPA fan, but just got some Abowyer Wapiti and a couple Large Bonehead heads.  Not much I hunt that would require the bone penetration, but may try these on big hogs.  I've had Snuffer go through deer ribs with plenty of HP pushing them.

Lots of good broadheads out there I would guess,guessing because I cannot bring myself to hunt with anything but a Zwickey Delta.Some years back was headed moose hunting and had Grizzly broadheads mounted,night before leaving could not stand it and took arrows out case and changed to my Deltas.Shot them when I got there and killed a bull first morning.If it ain,t broke leave it alone for me.Just an old guy set in his ways.

My take on Snuffer 160's and Grizzly Instinct since they came out.
