Thanks for sharing! I have been bowhunting for more than 60 years and I started following Dr Ashby and Troy four years ago. Since then my builds are very similar to yours and my results on elk have been magical. Total penetration on tough shots and tracking jobs were not needed as I watched them stop within 50 yards and look around for what happened and then fall over. Good luck to you and your wife this fall.
@denniswehling2147 Thank you for your comment! I have always known the merits of a heavier arrow. As the industry has gotten aroused by speed, like many others; I have tried it along with expandable heads... with obviously mixed and poor experiences. The last 5 years I've been back into the 550+ with fixed blade only setups. For the last 5 years, I've taken home every animal I've sent arrows at. In April of this year, I met Doc Ashby. Along with Rob Nielson, Jeremy Johnson and of course; Troy Fowler. Sitting there, sharing a bit of pipe tobacco with Doc and listening to his stories... seeing pictures of the large game this group has killed made everything so real to me. In honor of that experience, I decided to put 11 of Doc Ashby's factors into my arrow build. I started a channel to document this story. Once again, thank you for watching. Your support means a lot. Happy Hunting!
