broadheads

[jb229]

I have Muzzy 100gr tips on carbon arrows, Just curious if this is a suitalbe tip for hogs?

Not sure which muzzies you have but I would say yes ad they make a really good broadhead. The more important issue is your Kinetic energy. Pigs are tough but as long as you are shooting a decent bow you should be good. Just avoid shoulder shot on large pigs, they are tough and you may not burry past an inch or two. I've seen it before. The other issue is you will use penetration with the chissel tip that most of the muzzies have over a cut on impact head. Shoot straight !!!

I think Steve can show you a pic of an excellent heart shot.

I was surprised at how low and forward the hogs heart really is. The first pig I ever shot at was at 39 yards (lasered her before the shot). As I shot she brought back her left leg and the arrow hit in the leg near the top and she ran. I thought I had hit just the leg below the chest but that was more an optical illusion becasue the leg covered the vitals when the arrow hit. She ran at me and dropped in 10 seconds. I was shocked wondering how a leg shot could kill that fast. In the first pic you can see where the arrow entered. The second shot shows what it hit inside.

Internal hit.

DBD,
That is one H--l of a shot!!!

Thanks, but to be honest, that is not where I was trying to hit. I was going for a double lung. Arrow hit about 4" lower and 3" forward of where I was trying to hit. All in all I can't complain about the end result though

Mighty fine tasting critter for my first hog.
