Seems like those close range slight quartering or broadside shots on large animalsare the ticket then
Thats fair to say Will, provided its accompanied with proper shot placement. With that said...Pureadrenaline, If theres one thing that you should really be obsessing over, it should be shot placement. The vitals are further into the chest cavity than that of a whitetail or elk. I admit I nearly messed up a shot on my warthog, when i got to full draw i went into "auto-pilot" andsettled my pin3 inches behind the crease of the pig. Luckily I snapped out of it and put my top pin right on the "vital V" and made a perfect shot. I recomend practicing on a backyard 3-D deer target. Really beat it in your brain that you need to go straight up the middle of the leg (on a broadside shot).
