Took a bunch of hogs this year at our lodge some rifle some bow.I shoot the exact arrow weight and brodhead combination you do and had no problems.My speed is right at 282 and two of the three hogs I arrowed this year were pass throughs .The thrid hit the offside leg , broke it, but didnt exit. Range was 20 yards or less and the hog sizes were from 2-400 lbs.

Watch out for those noses! We have had our best luck by baiting with shell corn 7-10 days prior to hunting. Keep the pile going and wear clean rubber boots when you put it out.These things spook at any foriegn smell.Like everyone else has said they dont see very well but that nose and those ears are tops!

You'll find out that once you shoot a hog in a pile it will be awhile before that particular group will return to that set up. One thing I can say with absolute certainty is hogs learn quick and are super smart animals.

I like to aim for the crease right behind the shoulder in the mid third of the chest. Puts em down quick and also puts you behind the gristle. Given a choice I'll shoot a 200 lb sow any day over any sized boar.Hey, a side arm isnt a bad bet either when bowhunting hogs!! They can and will enact revenge on you given the chance.
