You can order ACE in single bevel. You can (could) do the same with Tuskers. Those are plenty big.

Found out that a local bow shop is liquidating his aluminum stock. Bought a dozen 2216 yesterday. Man does aluminum fly good. My mind is telling me to go back and buy every 2216 and 2117 he has.

I was high end FOC to begin with. 250 grains of the 550 arrow were in the broadhead. Problem was the arrow failed at the insert, it broke through the shaft wall at its deepest point. So it "stuck" good. Shouldn't have used a Snuffer. I like them but not if I'm shooting big, heavy critters ...

Sit n climb seat is a PIA.

Five days later, I got my shot. Even though he's traveling with foes in the last pic, the night I encountered him he was the seventh buck of the evening. The first six went through together with light sparring and really neat vocalizations. He came from behind me.....nine yards away when I first saw...

More or less a ghost, I only have the one pic above of him in velvet. I got one other picture when he went hard horned. You can see him on the far left.
