Hog Broadhead

[nchunterkw]

I hate to start another "which BH is best" thread, but.....I need some advice.

I am planning a hog hunt for late feb/early march, and am planning on using my Vortex. After viewing some youtube videos of guys shooting dead hogs with different setups, I am thinking of my "buffalo arrow", with a Magnus 150gr 2 blade Stinger BH. That should be about 575gr moving around 280 - 285 fps, and about 100 ft-lbs KE. I figure the 2 blade will give me a little better penetration should I hit the "shield" vs. a 3 blade (my other choice would be a Montec CS).

All you guys that have shot hogs with an Excal - please chime in with the good and bad, and thanks in advance for the help.

I have taken wild hogs wid the followin BH's & they all did a very good job. Magnus Snuffer 125- Nap Spitfire 100gr 1 1/2dia. & a RazorTrick 125. Keep yer shot low tucked into the leg hollow & aim fer heart. You will miss their sheid everytime.

I will be using the Bolt Cutter 150gr.
I took 1 hog last month with one.
I will be using them this next month.
Will post picks as I go.

Slick Trick or the New Swept Back QAD Exodus Head both of the heads are built great and cut nice clean holes.

There are some really good youtube videos showing just how tough a hog shield is posted by BreezyOaks Farm. That guy uses a 2 blade Magnus and a 700gr arrow going about 260fps. Here are links.

His setup has about 104 ft-lbs KE and momentum of 0.8. I can come close with the 575gr setup. 100 ft-lbs KE and momentum of 0.7

All of these hogs were killed wid a vixen maybe 60 KE, Miss Vixen that is Terror of all Tick Toters!

Vixenmaster....that makes me feel more at ease. Looks like you hit them up tight to the shoulder...more so than a deer right?

[vixenmaster]

You see the front leg joint About 4/5" above brisket, shoot tite there! 3 of the 4 were heart shot the 1st pic i was high up & it were close. Shot took out top of left lung down into right lung & out the bottom of chest. All hogs were piled up in less than 50 yds from where they got hit

I see Miss Vixen works well on hogs also

I used G5 Striker Magnums on 4 with great results. My total weight was just over 400 grains. The set up blew through 2 hogs and stuck into a log deep enough that I had to unscrew the arrow and leave the broadhead behind.
