Default 7/8 to small?

do u think that a 7/8 cut is enough for deer and hogs?

In pefect hits, absolutely but when the not so pefect hits happen, that seems small. Are you refering to the new Sonics?

check your state reg's./states have a minimum BH size.
On a good heart-lung shot there fine.

I think they are fine. If you think about it, how much would1/2 inch more or3/4of an inch make when going through lung tissue.

Heck yes. I use 1" and have never, ever had any problems killing anything. Except that oak tree I hit last year......now that I think about it........I believe that still lives. We'll see who gets the last laugh.

In the vitals, no problem. Even on questionable hits like a shoulder, I would prefer a smaller diameter head that can penetratebetter than one with the same # of blades but a wider diameter. The only drawback would be on a paunch hit where a wider cut would probably cause quicker death by a more rapid onset of peritonitis.

I used a 7/8" head and killed two bucks last year but there was almost no bloodtrail.
