Default RE: beginning hog bow

Look at the Martin line of trad bows. Just bought an x150 50lbs@28in and love the bow its 60in long and shoots like a dream. You can get one for about 240.00 brand new. Carbon or aluminum both work great, but my experience tells me that aluminum are a little easier than carbon to get to fly. Word of caution I shot a 70lb compound for years and had all I could at first with a 50lb recurve. If I could have done it over I would have went with a 45lb bow. My wrists, elbow and back were a mess for days, I would have never thought that.45 poundsisall you willever need to kill a 300lb hog as long as your arrow and broadhead areput in the right spot.Good luck
