Yep, you need the heavy arrow. 90 ft lbs on a 500 grain arrow ain't gonna hack it if you even touch a rib. 1000 gr arrow at 220 ft/sec is 107 ft lbs, at 210 is 97 ft-lbs, 202 is the min required 90 ft-lbs. But it'll take one Hell of traditional bow to get that much energy.

My 73# Bowtech 101st Airborne at 29" makes 86 ft-lb, my 80# Allegiance at 30" gets up to 94 or so. It would take a 100# recurve to even get close to the 90 ft-lb minimum, and I'm not sure that it'd make it even with a 1500 grain arrow. Subsistence hunters who don't mind wounding animals...

I was away when you posted this great story - thanks for taking the time to write it. Outstanding.

Sounds great! Let us know when you publish.

Too smart! If I'd started earlier I could have done that for my elk arrows.

How do you keep track of your pins when you switch arrows so often? I will probably wind up hunting elk with the Dauntless heads, just because the elk hunt starts only 5 days after my return from the grizzly bear.

Hi Fritz. No penetration problems? :)

Phil, I'm not in the broadhead business at all. You could not make this head much lighter due to the fat ferrule required to shroud 1/2 inch of 5/16" arrow shaft. But you don't need this ultimate strength for elk. For elk with a compound I think any number of 150-180 grain 2 or 3-blade fixed...

I just came back from TZ and had a Maasai tracker, Lorinyo. Lorinyo was a wrinkled up 55 year old about 5'2" tall and 90 lbs. He was a good tracker. Here he is standing on a 5 ft tall rock in the bush, trying to see across a korongo. The bush was thick! Here's a pic of some young Maasai. The...

Thanks, guys. Here's a pic of the buff's head and the arrow. The head will win no prizes, but I hunted on foot on a mountain for 7 days to get him. During that time I covered about 60 miles and did about 28,000 ft of elevation change. (Half up, half down.) The bush was very thick, the...

Thanks, BRICKBURN. Totsiens, Don

It cost me a fortune to send them to Fritz, and I'm out of extra heads. After my grizz hunt this fall I might be through with them...

I'll try. What I see is a link to attachment 12575, when I click on it I see the pic. Same result. I'll try a link: Don

Hi, I'm the broadhead designer and new here. Just got back from using these on Cape Buff in TZ. No issues: arrow penetrated from between the back two ribs on the left side and exited just behind the shoulder on the right side of a bull lying down chewing his cud, well below me across a korongo...
