Default RE: Wild Boar hunt in 2 weeks - still need help!

I hunt hogs every year for the last 5 years and I love it. Don't read into the fixed/mechanical debate to much. I have taken hogs with both and the work equally well for me. I had a guy that had me so hyped up that you couldn't bring one down with a bow by shooting it behind the shoulder that I practiced for weeks with some 100gr Montecs(becaused they only allowed fixed) at 20 yds trying hit a spot the size of a half dollar. I did this because I was told to imagine the hog had a hoop earing in it's ear and to aim for that spot. So I did and took 3 hogs like that in TX. My first time and alot of nerve racking trouble. I since then just use my expandables I use for deer and have taken 8 hogs with them not losing one yet. Get a good broadhead of your choice and practice because nothing beats good shot placement. Above all if you have confidence in your broadheads use them because being confident in your setup is important in the way you shoot. Are the Snypers a two blade? I would recommend a 3 blade for opening up a better bloodtrail. I did shoot a boar this last December in OK that had been in a wallow and was caked with mud and was a little difficult to trail because of this. Let me know how SC was I've heard alot about it but never been.LOL
