SELFBOW19953

I have no pictures, just a story.  Several years ago I shot only Grizzly 160's.  I shot a doe one afternoon with a Grizzly tipped arrow from a selfbow.  I watched the nock disappear into her chest.  She spun around and ran off, I watched her and saw a flash of white about 50 yards out where she swapped ends as she died.  I gathered up my stand and set about trailing her, there was little if any blood-no smears, small drops every 15 to 20 feet.  It was getting dark so I went to where I last saw her.  There was blood spray at that point, probably from her nose or mouth.  I found the last 10" of arrow in the chest cavity, along with lots of blood.  The exit wound had plugged with fat.  Had I not seen her go down, I'm not sure I could have found her.  From then on, I shot Magnus 1 four bades from selfbows, and Sniffer 160's from everything else.  Haven't had an exit wound plug up since.

great Vid , i was with you looking dow !

a question to the Simmons specialist because i should admit my conversion inch system is broken ...

Did the Simmons interceptor are more wide as a El Grandé Grizzly ?
THANK YOU ! [/b]
I think the simmons heads are a good bit wider than the Grizzly heads. Maybe one of the pros will see this now and confirm.
How about an answer fellas.Please.

A Simmons Interceptor is 1 9/16 inches wide(1.5625")or 39.6875 mm.

A Grizzly El Grande is 1 3/16 inches wide(1.1875")or 30.1625 mm.

Still goes to show a well placed SHARP broadhead is the key to fatal wounds, not who made them. Great pictures everybody!
