Is 50 lb draw enough for hog hunting? I'm just getting into traditional archery. I live in Texas, so once I get my accuracy to an ethical level I would love to go get some hogs!

I'm practicing with a #45 pound bow, but I have a 50# Super Kodiak that I plan on hunting with.

Yes, it sure is.  Make sure you got great arrow flight and sharp heads.

This has been an invaluable thread!

This shot was on a little 100# boar. Shooting down hill and a slight 1/4 away. Got the top and back of the lungs. Arrow went all the way through and was hanging by the fletch. He only went about 40 yd.

Entrance



Exit


Spruce arrow with 175g Grizzly Instinct 3 bld, about 625g.

If that doesn't make you want to put a razor edge on a broadhead I don't know what will.

I'll be in Florida at Osceola Outfitters for my annual hog hunt. This year will be our 20th anniversary for the group. I always dig this thread up to reread so perfect timing.
What I found was on quartering away hogs to aim for the arrow to come out between the legs as opposed the the off shoulder since everything is so far forward.

This is a pretty good idea.  Potential for a good hole up front to add in blood lose.

The video on the 1st post was an outdated format. Rob has fixed it.  So, if you have missed it, it's now available to view.

Since there has been a recent trend to lighter and lighter bows, here's something you need to consider shooting a boar with a heavy shield.....

So here is what you get on a quartering away shot. You DOUBLE the thickness of the shield.

"""Yes Kat Man,,,, just  getting to that.... this is what else those geniuses don't know....

Lets take a shield, 2 inches for arguments sake at Broadside...."""




Now lets quarter it away corner to corner.....
