Advanced Archery

One of the most noticeable differences between shooting a bow and shooting a rifle is usually you get your projectile (the arrow) back. It is a great plus being able to recycle 100% of your projectile instantly and being able to do so dozens of times at no cost makes your shooting quite economic. Unfortunately nothing lasts forever and eventually you will wear out your arrows. This can take some time and the wear and tear on then is not always apparent.

Pull out all the stops and get the hardest-hitting arrow money can buy. Features the same ultra-micro diameter performance Olympic archers demand for downrange kinetic energy and superior crosswind performance. In the past, conventional broadheads and inserts prevented the use of target-size micro shafts in bowhunting. Thanks to Deep Six innovation, you now can get everything you ever wanted in the highest performance hunting arrow available today.

Scanning the country ahead I was desperate to find the sika stag again after a hind lured him away and into the high tussock. In the distance an antler betrayed its position and Greg Duley and I hurriedly headed for it. I was cutting it fine, an afternoon hunt on the last day of a 5 day trip. The trip to date had been testing. I had been close on a number of occasions but I had been unable to close the deal. Fifteen minutes later as I eased my bow back into the valley I realised I may only be seconds away from achieving my goal, to shoot a sika stag.
