I don`t know if i can help much. But here it go`s I am not much of a hog hunter for the most part but i did take two very nice hogs on the opening day of deer season a few yrs back. One thing i did notice was nether one was a passthrough and i put the arrow right behind the shoulder using a thunderhead and they were standing broadside but nether one ran very far ether. I don`t think i would worry about a passthrough as long as you get into the lung and hart area.
