Both of those X-mags made impressive holes for sure!

I used a WASP Jak-X. Though to say, I would guess it would have came out completely unscathed had it not gone into the rocks. Had Covid not came, My arrow build at 447Grns was planning on using the SWAT Hybrid 2 in Titanium. But it didn't materialize in time. I ran the kill arrow over a chrony last night for S&G and I got a world turning 308.2 FPS from the Axe!.

I was really hoping for the New 2" Excal Broadhead to show as well, but covid has slowed them down too.

It's a Hawk Crawler, and I'll let Norm fill in the details, but I will say that it's worked perfectly! That bear was in thick rocky grounds when it went down.

Pulled or pushed the Hawk Crawler cart is real efficient to use, it features 4 wheels and has a low center of gravity and reduces tipping like 2 wheel carts. Plus, it folds down reasonably for travel.
Shop around for best pricing.

Looks delicious! We grilled up some venison sausage, it was great, been a while since I've had bear, a long while actually. :thumbup:
