Author Topic: Anybody have experience with Centaur battle axe heads for hogs? (Read 490 times)

Hi!
I have purchased the new Centaur battle axe bh, and is wondering about hog hunting with these heads.

The heads weighs in at 295 grains + a 100 grains insert gives a arrow with ca 25% foc(total weight 695 grains)

Any body have any pics of animals harvested with these?

Or would you suggest Silver Flames 210 grains or Woodsmans 250 grains?

I will use a 65# longbow

Anybody tried these?

Don't know a thing about them but I have had excellent results on hogs with the old tried and true (and much less expensive) Zwickey heads.

I haven't tried them, but they ought to work well. You'll probably become the local expert on their performance, so make sure you take some good pictures.

Margly,

From watching the videos that Jim posted on his website......and knowing the poundage bow your shooting and the weight of the arrow. I'd say they should cut through any animal in North America. If you haven't watched those video's you ought to.

My buddy just bought a pack of them and they sure do look impressive. Perhaps someone will show up that has used them in a past season. They are relatively new though.
