Sure.  That bow is a Primal Tech 3 piece recurve built by a sponsor here Randy Madden.  It's 55lbs@28" but my short armed self draw 26&5/8ths with this particular bow.  The arrow was a Black Eagle Vintage 400 cut 30.5" long with a standard insert.  That one had three 2" vanes but that varies.  Broadhead was a Carbon Express Piledriver 150 grain sporting a 1.5" cutting width.  Daniel at Hunters Choice Bowstrings makes all my strings.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

Thank you, what’s your arrow weight ? I ask because I’ve killed a few pigs but nothing that big and I am in the middle of a possible bow change.   I appreciate it.

455.5 on those.  I have a heavier set up as well but the 9.1gpp seems to do well.

That’s “some pig.”

Those wild boar tamales sound soooo good!
