On this episode I sit down with Shannon Mobbs and Cory Ford of Angry Spike Productions to talk about their recent Sitka Blacktail hunt in SE Alaska. This was a true DIY adventure hunt, on public land with over the counter tags. They picked a remote island in Tongass National Forest and tackled the Alaskan wilderness head on. They worked through a few obstacles of course. Things like steep mountains, rugged terrain, biting bugs, and one lost quiver of arrows. But I'll let them tell the story...... Enjoy the podcast.

EP13 Bone Breaking Arrow Performance w/ Garrett Schlief of Grizzly Stik

Bone breaking arrow performance with Garrett Schlief of Grizzly Stik. Every archery hunter will eventually send an arrow that doesn't penetrate or deflects and ends up not landing a lethal blow. For a long time this was just an accepted part of being an archery hunter. Sometimes it just happens..... That doesn't have to be the case. Through years of research and advancements in arrow technology we now have great options that can deliver an arrow with bone breaking performance. One of the leaders in that movement is Grizzly Stik who sells arrows and broadheads to make a complete system. Their company began with that same disappointment of hitting a moose shoulder blade with a traditional arrow setup. That scenario drove the search for a more dependable arrow delivery system. The goal was a broadhead built to break bone and keep going.....an arrow strong enough to stay together and keeping delivering that force through the animal. From that need Grizzly Stik was born. If you are looking for a more dependable arrow system check outgrizzlystik.com. There is a lot of information there about Ashby's research, videos from independent reviews, and charts to help you choose which setup will work best for you. If you would like to see more testimonials follow them on social media. You will see a feed full of happy clients and impressive animals taken with their arrow system. If you have any questions about Grizzly Stik's product give them a call. Garrett knows his stuff and is always very helpful over the phone. He loves archery and will help you on your search for a better arrow system. In the end it may be his product and it may not. He just wants to make sure that all hunters have an effective arrow system that works well for them. I can't say whether Grizzly Stik is where your search for a bulletproof arrow system ends but, I do know they are well made and are very tough. I look forward to testing them this year and seeing how well they work on my upcoming hunts. I will keep you updated.
