Like when the old bows get it done!  Shot one with a 69 grizzly last weekend.

Congrats, Man!  Thanks for sharing.

Hey Pitbull, congratulations!

If you don't mind sharing, where did you hit her and how much penetration did you get?

Best regards, Skychief.

Nice! My first bow ever was a Nomad Stalker I, about 1972. Wish I still had it.

Nice job - as a 50 (plus) year-old bowhunter, it's good to see a bow of that age range doing so well!

Skychief, you asked about where I hit her and the penetration. In my post I said the arrow disappeared out of my line of sight. There was a reason as I found out later finding a sapling that had been cut about 8 yards in front of where she was standing. The shot distance was 23 yards. The arrow had deflected and hit her center of the ham and imbedding 9 inches deep. The grizzly split the femur and cut the femoral artery. She was dead in 10 seconds and had traveled about 120 yards only because she was careening down a very steep slope. Some times better lucky than good. The norm for hits in the vitals is I have an exit hole with the arrow buried to the fletching or dangling out the other side. Hope that answers your question. Thanks for the congrats guys!

That is very cool. My Kodiak will be 50 years old this next season and seeing this is making me even more excited for this and coming hunting seasons
