Hog setup?
« on: January 01, 2013, 09:04:00 PM »
What's everyone's set up for hogs?

I've done quite a bit of hog hunting with firearms, but I'm planning my first trad hog hunt and looking for any recommendations anyone has as far as broadheads, arrows, total arrow weight, etc.

Thanks
Ken Adkins

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

Id just use heavy arrows that fly well and a real sharp coc head. just make sure you put it where it needs to go.

Why don't you let us know what your setup is for deer. Chances are it is sufficient .

30" AD TradLite with 205 gr. Simmons Interceptor Safari...
I shoot that arrow from a couple of Different MOABs and a Thunderchild. All draw from 50#-53# at my draw length.

Until you get comfortable with your shot placement you might want to use one of the less expensive broadheads as these critters usually take you on a trip. Get close and keepem SHARP! It would hurt to watch a 20-30 dollar broadhead leave town.
