Never thought kill zone on any animal was halfway across the torso. Always aim for the crease behind the shoulder exactly where he showed the heart. Plus, I try to get relaxed quartering away everytime.

Especially good info & vid. This would be good to edit & post in the headings for everyone to review. Much thanks.

Yeah...that's another good representation, cause the vitals are not as far back as on a deer for sure...and as you can see, there's not a vertical line where they stop...but more of an angled line.

You can make a perfect 'deer shot' on a hog and you'll never see it again.

Extremely good presentaion!

Just forwarded the presentation to McKenzie's.

Informed them that for several years the subject of the vitals being much farther forward has been covered well and numerous times. Terry has done an excellent job in the past educating many of us. This current demonstration should serve to further seal and validate the need to be set-up to handle the further forward required arrow placement.

Also, relayed that I weekly took the lower scoring shot placement do to taking the appropriate shot on a hog at 3D's. Having an improper targetted area may serve to engrain an incorrect arrow placement on a live animal.

We should all be quite knowledgeable of the vitals of any game we pursue. The animals deserve it most.

Thank you for posting.

Another thing, you can shoot MUCH further forward on a hog and get into the vitals without hitting bone...long as you are mid point or LOWER on the body.  The leg bone angle is much further forward than you might think.

It wasn't me in the video.

Here is an exit wound from a Delta 4 blade.  You can see how far forward the exit was and no bone was contacted.

Here's something related...I'd like to see the results of a single bevel head and a heavy arrow.
  Hog Shield

[Terry Green]

There's a couple of big shielded hogs on the Hog Shot Placement thread that were passed through with Zwickey 4 blades. And yes, it sure helps to have SHARP cut on contact heads AND heavy arrows.

Those boys were sure enlighten huh?

That sir is what you call a 'coon a$$'.

That ain't a coonass. That's the wrong part of the country. You want coonass? Go to Terrebonne Parish, LA. This fellow is a prime example of a Geechie. Big difference.
