I ended up forgetting my 125gr Toxics at home.

The GrizzTrick2 is what I shot the 180lbs sow with. The shot was at 18-20yards and as expected the slick blew a slug size hole through her breaking a full rib on the near side and passing between ribs on the offside. The arrow skipped off the ground and burried into a treefall, 25 yards away, up to the blades. The blades were still sharp and there were no burrs or any visible sign of being shot. Slick Trick quality! However, the shot was PERFECT and this hog ran at least 90 yards with no blood to be found for the first 50-60yards. There was good blood after that.
The QAD Exodus was used on my little fifty pounder so it's not much of a test. Same close shot perfectly placed breaking two ribs in and one out. The arrow deflected off the ground and burried twelve feet up a tree. Thank goodness for that firenock and a tall friend like Norm who could just reach it. Anyway, the little pig only ran about 20 yards and the exodus was in great shape. There were two small burrs that will come out with a couple passes with a carbide broadhead sharpener. Rock solid. Norm said he saw good blood in that short distance.
I told Norm while we were there that I've been spoiled by the Toxics. In three years I've shot 1 deer and 12 hogs. The deer ran the furthest at about 60yards max. I think one pig made it 50yards and the rest were inside of 40yards. I'm fully confident that had I shot my sow with a Toxic she would've died closer than the blood trail started with my slick. Keep in mind the GrizzTrick2 has a 1 1/4" cut in a four blade broadhead yet still couldn't match the Toxic. I'm glad I tried something new but once again I'm right back to the Toxics. As great as these other broadheads are they just couldn't match up to the devastation caused by the coring out Toxics. I hate sounding like a commercial but the results are what they are. My Guide/Outfitter friend reiterated again that he's seen no other broadheads perform like this in thirty years and hundreds of clients.
Sidenote, the Vortex Viper XB-R scope was amazing. I could actually see pigs through my scope, in the dark, when I couldn't see them with my naked eye. You could shoot well beyond legal shooting light with this. The lowest illumination worked perfectly for shooting my little one in the dark with no hazing or washout.
