In hunting hogs it's all about shot placement.  RC's advice to hit them low in the pocket is "spot on" (pardon the pun).  Hit em high and you'll never see them again.  On our hunts we have skinned out hogs and seen numerous healed over broadheads embedded in bone and grissle from high shots.  Last one I shot (50lb w/470 gr arrow)placed just in back of the front leg and he dropped in his tracks.  Shot was taken from the ground at 7 ft.  EXCITING!!!

I agree with T.G. - bows and arrows are delivery systems for Broadheads. Select for the game and then add other factors. Killed quite a few boar when I lived in HI and tried several broadheads but had the most consistent penetration with narrow 2 blades

Terry - that is a great video. Really shows how small the sweet spot is. And the shield looks and sounds like a bullet-proof vest. Nice vid.

Hooooooo Weeeeeee!!!!!

Dang I hate I missed this thread. Glad someone brought it back up.

I've said for years if a man told me he had been seeing a good buck every few days, but had seen hog sign in the past I'd head straight for the hog sign then try for the deer.

Buff: watched the video, but had to keep the volume off, so I'm sorry if you answer the question there and I am asking again.  First, OMG!  That was a flood of hogs that attacked that water hole.  I am assuming you were hunting TX.  Seems there is no shortage of hogs there, only recipes.   :)   How far did he run, or did he drop where you shot him?  how big and (speaking of recipes) do you eat the hogs?  I am wondering primarily because I am going to hunt for them in FL in a few weeks.  I wish I could make it to TX, but I'll have to wait for that.  Anyway, awesome video.  Thanks for sharing.  P.S. - I am hunting with a 50# LB.  Any suggestions on shot placement (other than get a heavier bow, which I actually am next year)?  I will be in a blind/stand.
