Broadhead for Hogs
 

I'm going to be in Florida for a job interview in a few weeks, and I have a chance to do some hog hunting with a friend down there on some private land. I've been where we are going before (long before I bought a bow), and it will be uncommon not to see those critters feasting under the feeders in full force. I was wondering what is a good broadhead to use on hogs that range between 75-200 lbs?

RE: Broadhead for Hogs
 

Same ones you use for deer.....Just shoot 'em quartering away so you can get in behind that armor plate. ;)

Oh, and good luck w/ the interview!!!

Muzzy man.

RE: Broadhead for Hogs
 

I've put them down w/ Muzzy 100's

RE: Broadhead for Hogs
 

I too use 100gr Muzzy's. This one killed a 200lb boar. It went through the tough shoulder shield, took out both lungs and was hanging out the other side when I found him 35 yds away. It tore the BH up pretty good but I don't mind a bit!

Or you can shoot a Slick Trick and go through that armor plate (and the one on the other side) :D:D:D

I'm pulling a Bear Instinct @ 65 lbs. If I get some Muzzy 100's, What is a good size arrow? I'm a relative novice, so any info would help tremendously.

Assuming you have an average draw length (27-29) or somewhere there abouts then a .400 spine should work about perfect. In a Gold Tip I would go with the 5575 in anEaston .400 would be good.

I am going to be using these on my next hog




The ATOM, 100 Grain

RE: Broadhead for Hogs
 

That is a funky looking head. Hmmmmm..... I've heard that before.

RE: Broadhead for Hogs
 

Yeah, but that's because your hair was blowing in the wind riding on that trailer....:D:D

RE: Broadhead for Hogs
 

ryanaller, man I like the looks of that atom 100, what's the cutting dimensions? Is that what you currently shoot and how sturdy are those blades? It looks like it should have little effect on the arrows flight. Who carries/makes them?

RE: Broadhead for Hogs
 

Shoot what you're use to in a broadhead about any will take one if it's sharp and placed right. Andhit them below the mid line. A midline shot might hit the spin or above it wil do nothing but get it mad.

They are in the mail and I can't wait for them to get here! I will be posting a review on them once they show up!

That atom head looks flimsy as can be to me. what's the purpose with that design??? Are those "orb" things cutting blades??

I'll stick with the muzzy fixed heads.

I know this is an old thread... but I was wondering how the Atom Broadhead worked out for your pig hunt.
