Default RE: HYPERSHOCK Series Broadheads Versus Big Game Animals

The excitement and the anticipation are starting to build, as the Hypershock Series Broadheads will be arriving at many of your favorite archery stores in the very near future.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Jerry and I am one of the Prostaff members of Aftershock Archery. As the Hypershock was being introduced to the archery world, many questions arose pertaining to their take down power (especially of big game animals). So, I am here to report out on our successful hunts that recently took place using the Hypershock Series Broadheads. Hopefully the following information will answer many of your questions regarding the strength, reliability, and durability of these new broadheads.


This past week, several of our Aftershock Prostaff Members had a chance to hunt a trophy ranch using standard archery equipment and the Hypershock Series Broadheads. Bow poundage varied from 55lbs to a high of 70lbs during those hunts. Animals that were hunted during that time were a buffalo, two hogs and a turkey. The reason that various game animals were hunted was to prove once and for all that these broadheads will meet or exceed all your expectations.

Special Note:

Mike Avery video taped these hunts and will be showing them during one of his outdoor shows, along with a product review of the Hypershock Series Broadheads.

Arrival at the Trophy Ranch

When our Prostaff members arrived at the trophy ranch they were met with allot of skepticism pertaining to the design of the Hypershock Broadhead. The owner and guides informed the group that these broadheads could not possibly take down a hog, let alone a buffalo. Well those responses gave us the incentive to prove them wrong, and that’s exactly what we did.

First Hunt – Russian Boar

With Mike Avery and crew on hand, our first hunt that took place was the harvesting of a 225lb Russian boar. With cameras rolling, the hog walks in at around 20 yards and the Hypershock slams through the armor plate and then exits through the shoulder of the opposite site. The hog only runs 20 yards before it drops. This helped to prove our point that the Hypershock Series Broadheads will take down game animals that were thought to be difficult to harvest due to their bone structure.

Second Hunt- Buffalo

The next animal that was harvested was a Buffalo weighting 950 +lbs. The Buffalo was broadside and the shot was taken at 35 yards. Once the broadhead penetrated the buffalo, it ran only 85 yards before laying down. The internal devastation that these broadheads deliver is unsurpassed, and again has proven that they can take down the biggest of any game animals.

Third Hunt - Turkey

Another goal of ours was to take down a Merriam Turkey as the hunts continued. After locating the turkey of choice and perfect shot placement could be achieved, the shot was taken at 35 yards. Again the Hypershock proved itself by delivering the fatal blow to another game animal. This bird weighted 20+ lbs and had a nine-inch beard. With a pass-through, you might say this bird was pre-cleaned.

Fourth and final hunt - Hog

Our favorite hunt of the whole trip was to have our Women Prostaff Member take down a hog that weighted 550 lbs. The reason for the excitement is that she only shoots a bow poundage of 55lbs, and having the confidence to take down a hog using the Hypershock broadhead, the hunt was on. Finally after having located this mammoth hog, and when the shot finally presented itself, she took it. The first shot was from an elevated ridge at 35 yards while the hog was quartering away.

This first shot was a little high which penetrated the top of the hog. After the hog spun around to elude the hunter, the next shot penetrated the top of the shoulder and sunk in 9 inches taking out the lungs. The interesting thing is that this 550lb hog had 3 ½ inches of solid fat that was easily penetrated by the Hypershock broadhead. Light arrow and low poundage was no match for this large hog.
Again, the Hypershock broadhead helped prove that persons using a low poundage bow can now shoot a mechanical broadhead giving them the confidence to harvest all sorts of game animals.

As you have read, we at Aftershock Archery have designed a broadhead that will exceed everyone’s expectations, and gives them the confidence to hunt every type of game animal possible. For additional information, please check out our website for up to date information at www.aftershockarchery.com

Be Safe and Good Hunting!!
