Hi ben, Both my Widows are 58# @28" arrows are Gt traditionals 75/95 with 100grn brass inserts which I drill out the back and tap so I can screw in another 40grains.
Outback supremes 125grn single bevel.
All pigs traveled  less than 15m, the pig on the log was bedded stood up when shot and took one step and fell over.

This fella was shot from about 1 to 2 meters away.

Paul, one or two metres range is good hunting indeed! Of course, you'd run into the problem of the arrow not having yet reached full-speed   ;)  (I read that in a letter to the editor once in a magazine; you know, the rocket idea where the arrow keeps accellerating for the first ten yards or so after leaving the bow!  :knothead:  ).

Cory, do you still get the buffalo Silvertip out and onto the pigs these days? The mountain bike is a good idea.

Ben - just this morning I did bring out the 84# silvertip limb s out. I was doing some bare shaft testing on several bows and ended up in the shed. I do like those arrows - 2219 w a gold tip inside - 300 grain heads - nice match for hogs - and the bow is among the very best - dependable equipment for sure.

Great pictures everyone.

We sure are lucky to have a few pigs running around here in Australia to hunt. Here's a few I had on photobucket:

 

 

 

 


My cousin's first bow shot pig. He was a really old boar, skinny, covered in scars, blind in one eye with broken worn down tusks. Awesome.

Here's a few more

 

To small to shoot, catching him was more fun. I think most of the enjoyment my son had came from seeing his old man bumbling around in the long grass trying to catch the greased hog.   :biglaugh:  

 

 

 

Same boar, arrowed while he was munching on a dead cow, with my son Lachlan watching. I guess the stench emenating from the boar didn't impress my son too much.   :biglaugh:  
 
 


I reckon pigs were made just so we could hunt them with the bow.

Paul R Some ripper hogs there mate!
Ben taking the pig at 1 to 2 m involved not stalking skills at all, I climbed over a big bolder on the dry creek bed and he was right below my feet bedded in the shade of the boulder, just lucky.
