Anybody use the Grizzlystik 650g arrow and broadhead setup?

[dchristmassilverdale@gmai]

Has anybody here gone and tried the Grizzlystik 650 setup for elk. What did u think of it?  I'm thinking of getting the 650 grain arrow  test pack. Grizzlystik will refund the price of the test pack from a dozen arrows if u buy in thirty days. The Grizzlystik website is impressive. Alot of elk pics. I'm wondering what everyone thinks of Dr Ashbys work with 19 percent  FOC and single bevel broadheads 650 grains total weight? I called and talked to them and they say i wont notice a difference to thirty yards.  I've only shot one bull elk (5x5) in my life. Single lung shot at 32 yards, ran sixty or so  yards into other hunters to be shot again and tagged by them, same thing happened to a friend who shot a cow last year. Looked like a good shot.  Waited an hour after he shot to track the blood trail only to go two hundred yards to hunters who shot it again and tagged it. Cant handle the lows of losing an animal again. If i was rifle hunting i would go get a 338 mag or something to drop a bull in its tracks. Whats the equivalent in archery. I shoot a Diamond Deploy Sb 70 lb bow, 28.5 draw, Spot hogg fast eddie jr sight, crossover telescoping stabilizer with back bar, tightspot quiver, winners choice string.  I was shooting a Easton 5mm FMJ arrow with a 125 grain montec g-5 broadhead,11 percent FOC, total weight 496 grains. HELP PLEASE What arrow/broadhead combo would  u recommend I shoot this year for elk. Thank u for your time.

I think the arrow you are using now is a great setup. A well placed arrow does work as it should.

I?d suggest listening to the podcasts that John Dudley and Aaron Snyder have put out recently.

Your setup should be fine. Both of the above guys would bring up arrow flight in case you?re getting less penetration than you?re looking for.

Our setups are similar (I?m drawing 67#, 256 FPS with a 475 grain arrow, 125 grain heads and a bit over 11% FOC) so I?m thinking its enough, but I?m going on my first elk hunt this year and I can?t give you firsthand experience. I?m still looking for some public land hogs to volunteer for testing this setup.

If you go that much heavier you?re going to see a big speed drop off. You may want to consider that and how much it will affect your arrows at longer yardages.
