The 25 grains really won't make much of a difference in how the broadhead performs. However, I hunted hogs in FL and always used fixed blade Muzzys for them. Anyone that has been around here awhile knows I am a HUGE supporter of mechanical head and have used them for nearly 20 years. With that said I used fixed heads on hogs. Your outfitter has good reason to give you that advice.

To make sure you have a good time by not creating tension with the outfitter and ensuring you have equipment he is comfortable with I'd suggest you at least get some 100 grain fixed blade heads. You show up with 100 grain Rages and he might put you in the "special" stand where you can do no harm.

i would really use a rage or grim because i have seen hogs take many arrows and not die so you want a massive hole.

A hog (or any other animal you arehunting)cannot live with a hole (small or big) through its lungs.

Penatration is the key...not the size of the hole.

Im notdis-agreeing with you .....but there is on animal i know of that can live on one lung and that would be a bear........... But you bring a good point and all in all its all on your shot placement

I've bowhunted hogs for about 7 years now. Small hogs are not a problem with any type of broadhead. It's when you want to shoot a big boar that it becomes a problem. I use mechanicals, but I would not use one with an aluminum ferrule. I've used steelhead 125's from the beginning and have not had a problem with them. Even accidentally shot clear through one 300 lb boars backbone, and I shoot a PSE Nova round wheel bow at 65 lbs, which doesn't have a whole lot of power. I currently use G5 Tekans, which I think are great broadheads.
