I am wondering if any of you have used the Grizzly Stick Sitka Arrows. What are the pros and cons. They have a high FOC, supposed the shoot like darts, and are decent looking. Rather on the expensive side. I shoot a 50lb Dorado at 28 inches. I know the Sitka is what I should be shooting. Please enlighten me on the quality of these arrows. I hear good and bad about them.
I shoot these and love them, shooting 290gr heads on them and have 315 feild points and yes they fly like darts. That was out of a 48#@28" holm. I for one like them, they are tuff but you can brake them but you can others too.
I shoot 29 1/2" Sitkas with 125 grain points out of my 46# Black Widow and they fly nice. I broke a couple shooting at my target. I keep hitting them with the next shot.
Started shooting Sitka's this past hunting season.They shoot great out of my 55# Acadian Woods Tree Stick and my 51# Caribow Perigrine longbows.Shoot 29" arrows with 125 gr Woodsman Elite broadheads. Had a pass thru on a doe and shot a 230 lb hog from a treestand walking away from me. The arrow entered high mid back and came out his chest. I was very hapy with the results of both shots. I'll be hunting with these
arrows again next year.
They are a touch week for my 51 and 52 Silvertip recurves. I have a 52# Silvertip longbow and Lone Wolf autumn storm longbow that seem to like them quite a bit. I am pleased with their performance.
I shot them out of my 58 lb longbow this Saturday. They spun around and were erratic. Looked like a weak spine. Stronger would probably be better. I picked up some blemished ones. So I was very lucky I did not order full price.
I am not really impressed with the performance and so I am sticking to my cedar 55-60s and the Carbon Express Heritage 250s. Also the price stinks if you ask me. Half a dozen for 90$. I do not like them Sam-I-Am :D
Now I do like their Masai broadheads.
Price doesn't always reflect quality; sometimes it just reflects a high price. You can do as well with Carbon Express Heritage, or the Easton line, or even Arrow Dynamics. From what I understand there has been issues with quality control on the Sitkas. They may have cleared that up but for the price, it seems you are paying for a name more than substance. Caveat Emptor.
Great arrows, used to shoot them out of a #46 PSA but use Alaskans now with #60 limbs. To me they have been a frugal arrow as it is rare to have one break, even with a lot of stump shooting. I just have to find them when I miss and I'm good to go again, and again...
I recently aquired a half dzn, and are using them in my 3 Rivers longbow.
I am quite please with the results to this point, will know more when I get to hunt with them.
You can do better elsewhere IMO...I've put Grizzlystiks and ADs on my spine tester and both are erratic at best, especially for a carbon arrow...most wood arrows I've messed with have been better matched for spine.
