Hogs with shields and penetration!

[chopx2]

27.5" draw shooting 150fps...el grandes was going to be my 1st choice...now just need my aim to be true!

Not only sharp...dang sharp!

Again....RC is dead on IMO.

BTW......this is a great info thread....lots of experience from hog killers being posted.  Gotta love it!

[Apex Predator]

Yep, listen to RC and Terry.  I just mostly shoot them little grillin hogs myself.

[RC]

I hear ya Marty. I ain`t killed a 150 pound pig in a few years. I`m after grillers but I want to be toting proper killing equipment if a biggun comes by.I got two Bruisers on the wall and I can still remember the packout...my back hurts.
 I love big broadheads as much as anybody but as I have dropped down in bow pounds those Zwickey No Mercy heads keep looking good.RC

in australia, after buffulo and camels, a boar with shields is the next hardest thing to penetrate IMHO.

Hi Ozy!
What is your arrow setup?( I guess you are shooting the 69#)

Do you use the same setup for all three species?

Lot of good advice here,we all have our on spin. If i had to rank top conditions of importance to shooting through big hog shields, it would be in this order.

1. Get close ( closer=more arrow energy) IMO 15yards and in

2. Razor Scary sharp BH ( doesn't matter 2 or 3 but make it the sharpest implement you own)

3. Arrow mass ( most accurate heavy arrow you can shoot)

4. shoot horizontal ( if possible, it's easier to shoot through shield with more ummp shooting 90 degrees into shield than at an angle. That shield can turn an angling BH unfavorable ways sometimes. best way to bust a brick wall is run into it straight on.

5. Give it time......it easier to track a dead hog than a live one.IMO

"easier to track a dead hog than a live one."

That's classic!

Now wait a minute Joebuck. I don't know if I buy that one. Are you telling me an arrow loses measurable energy between 5 yards and 20 yards?
How did you determine that? And none of your smartalecy "simple physics" retorts.

[joebuck]

Why do I have do your math? Closer is more accurate too. Your question scares me, did you put that peep site and pins back on your recurve?

As I recollect when I lived in CT there were lots of Hogs at the local watering holes...

I think you're confusing physics with gravity...

[Marty]

Why don't you 2 take it outside. Where:
1. Closer is better.
2. Mass ( Biggie) is way better
3. Speed -Joey will be faster but both timed with a calender.
4. Biggie has the angle due to height-kinda like a treestand.
5. Both are nice old boars.
6. I'll take cleaned up photo's of the loser. And post!

[Ragnarok Forge]

Marty,

That is funny!

I would pay for video of that.

Only one way to settle this. Cage fighting . Me and Marty will be the referees. Just got to find a big enough cage.

Oh, back to the topic. Only shot one hog with a shield. 204lbs out of a tree. one hole. blood shooting 4 feet out the side when he left. made it 25 yards. shooting 47lb 500gn 2blade single bevel that joey coached me on how to get sharp. The edge of the head is what I think helped make this a short tracking job. I need to bulk up and start shoot a real mans weight. I just like hitting the exact hair I'm aiming at. Don

Batman, they are jealous since i wear the smallest bra of the 3 of us
