Title: Opinions on Grizzly stiks, worth the cost?
Post by: maineac on December 14, 2008, 03:28:00 PM
I am expecting some new limbs for my Chek-mate to take it up to #65 at 28, though I draw a little shorter.  So I need some new arrows.  I have always shot Easton aluminum, but I am interested in the weight forward design of the grizzly stiks.  The cost is a bit of a hold back.  Are they worth the extra cost?

Maineac, Grizzly Stiks are some of if not the toughest arrow I have ever used, so IMO yes. Gary

I watched one hit a hemlock sideways after it was deflected. The owner picked it up expecting it to be broken, it wasnt. It was perfectly fine. I belive he was shooting a rather heavy LB too...
He shot the rest of the round with it.

I had some for a 67# palmer, once I retuned the bow they shot great BUT...... the bow wouldnt shoot the aluminum or woodies I had for it worth a crap anymore. After snapping 2 within a week they went bye-bye on $-bay.

I was going to order them, but just found out that you cant put lumanocks on them, so not for me.  :(

Thanks. I might try them.  I did not know if they were that much more stable and easy to tune, as well as strong (I shoot a very challenging 3d course) with lots of rocks in the soil.

I bought a half dozen and broke two on my first two shots. The first shot hit the metal rod inside of a 3/D target. The second shot hit a stick on the ground that was half rotten and telescoped the insert into the shaft. Needless to say, I have not bought anymore or attempted to tune the ones I have left. I might have gotten a rotten batch or something, but at the price there should be no such thing as a bad arrow.
