Did a search of topics and keywords this morning but haven't been able to find much about GrizzlyStik arrows and the single bevel broadheads they sell. Spent some days listening to the Ashby Lethality Study Presentation on YouTube and watching archers break Moose femurs with 900 grain arrows. I am intrigued. Any thoughts?

ABSOLUTELY, love them! I have shot both the 150gr Masai and Samurai single-bevel BH's. They are exceptional! Price is high, but again they are very good quality. This year, I also bought some of Strickland Archery's 150gr Helix single-bevel BH's. They performed equally as well and are about 1/2 the price. I have shot several ELK with the Masai and Samurai BH's and last years Deer with the Helix. Complete pass thrus with all three BH's. They are all very sharp and create large wound channels and lots of bleeding/blood trail. They all claim to continue to rotate as they penetrate and create a larger than typical entrance wound (i.e., compared to conventional double-bevel two-blade BHs). I have found this claim to be aboulutely accurate. The entrance hole looks more like a three or four-blade BH hole. Plus, it is not torn. They slice thru hide as they continue to rotate. I haven't hit any major bones with any of them yet. But, I have blown thru Elk ribs on both sides of the animal. All the recovered BH's looked like they were still ready to hunt, even after embedding into the ground on the far side of the animals.
BTW, they are the easiest BH's I've ever had to try and tune, as they fly the same as my field points (as long as your bow is properly tuned). The extra FOC gained by using a heavier BH's also helps arrow flight too. My total arrow weight is about 525gr. Since I have a 31.5 inch draw length, I don't loose much speed. At 68 to 70lbs, they are flying at 285 to 290fps. Plus, a heavier projectile will retain more momentum downrange. So, in comparison to a lighter weigh arrow, it will not slow down as fast at longer ranges either and will have more energy on impact.
You will not be disappointed if you try them!

IMHO any SHARP broadhead will do the job, having confidence in your equipment makes you a better shot.
hard to improve on a pass through, unless you figure cutting surface (hole)
But then, I have not hit a shoulder blade since I had a "Satellite Titan" bounce off one in the '80's, (don't get those P.O.S.'s)

But the Grizzly single bevel is my favorite broadhead. They are as tough as they come and the wound channel they create belies their width.

I haven't used a Grizzlystik arrow. I aim for as heavy an arrow as I can get and I understand they are good and heavy.
But the Grizzly single bevel is my favorite broadhead. They are as tough as they come and the wound channel they create belies their width.
do you prefer the samurai or the maasai?
