Hunter,
missagain is right, it is gonna blow your mind at the information you can mooch off all these trad bow holders.
Dr. Ashby's work is pretty incredible especially his latest research on the killing power of a 40# bow with ultra FOC arrows.

Lots of good advice here for sure. They aint like deer.....and stated earlier...there's a big difference in a 30 pounder vs a 300 pounder...and a big difference in a 150 Pound shielded boar and a 300 pound sow. Its easier to get through the sow for sure.
Shot placement is key on hogs no matter the equipment...the vitals are more up front and tilted at an angle making for a better shot advantage than deer as well.
I like Wensel Woodsmans on hogs....as with my set up they work like a charm....but with yours, I'd choose more of a 3-1 ratio 2 blade. Tusker Concord, Brown Bear by Abowyer, Stos, Grizz etc.
Best of luck to ya....and post a hero pic for us would ya?
You can actually SEE the saddle bags on some of the heavy shielded boars. I saw them on this guy at 75 yards away...You can obviously see the raised hump(heavy shield) around the wound in this pic....and make sure you click the clip below to see how hard a 2 inch shield is...

I really like a quartering away shots on all hogs, but with boar hogs, that's the only shot I'll take. The sheild on the boars is like a rock and really hard to punch through, quartering away lets you slip under it.

I like a good 11 to 12 gpp, with a 175 gr head. It is a killer on deer, I shoot 42# out of my bow. I am using woodsman elites, any advice on the right head for hogs? i really like the penetration they get, but a lot of people like 2 blades on pigs. Whats the reasoning? :confused:

Your profile says you are 22 years old - you are a young tough guy - pull that bow back all the way! Unless you are 4 feet tall and have short arms, you should be able to get to at least 27" and it will make a huge difference in your arrow power.

Haha, im 5'6", 130lbs, 34 inch chest, 28in waist. Im a lil guy, just about the size of the average 16-22 yr old confederate soldier(im a hardcore reenactor). Im a lil guy. My draw length with a compund used to be 26 inches. But i do have long gorilla like arms, but i cannot for the life of me figure it out. I shoot with my bow arm completely straight, and when i anchor in the corner of my mouth i only get 24 inches. lol im tryin.

I find the corner of my mouth is not a set distance from my bow hand. My draw started at about 26 and got shorter and shorter as I tilted my head and hunched my shoulders trying to aim better. I finally started trying to get my back muscles more involved and get my pulling arm and elbow lined with the arrow. Found that I can now draw 27+ and shoot better than when I was trying to "aim". Try it and see if you can't get better form and arrow flight. Good Hunting!
