The first of april I am heading south to Tennessee to hunt hogs. Decided to take the bow instead of a gun. I picked up a pack of Montec G5's. Will these perform ok, or do I need to switch? For deer, I have been using 100 gr 4 blade muzzy's. But they looked a little "flimsy" for a hog. Did I make a good decision, or should I head back to gander mountain? Thanks

youl be fine, dont get into all the hype about hogs, there an awesome animal to hunt and very tough but no toughter than a deer, a well placed shot with any broadhead will kill them plenty quick

i have shot 2 pigs this year w/ 4 blade muzzy's and got pass through on both. both went less than 100 yards!

That's the 1st I've ever heard anyone describe muzzy's as flimsy. You'd have been fine with them.

i shoot stuff

i would say use muzzys because i hear there the best and i like them the most

thanks for the input. I just thought the blades were too thin, and would break. I have been perfectly happy using them on deer. The only broadhead I have had no problems with. I probably read too much into how tough hogs are. When I was booking my hunt this morning, the guide said he personally uses muzzy heads, but the 3 blade. The muzzy's group right with my field points, so if I don't like the way the Montec's fly I'll just use the muzzy's. I just did not want to go unprepared, and screw up.

I'm going wild boar hunting in February. Oh wait.....IT IS FEBRUARY!!!! Yep, that's right, I head out at 6:00 a.m. this Friday for 2 1/2 days of South Carolina pig pickin'!!!!!

Yeeeeee Haaa!!!

I've always shot Rocky Mtn Snypers...but I switched to G5 Montecs....and then switched again to Muzzy 100 gr 3-blades for the big pigs. Just wasn't happy w/the way the Montecs sharpened (or didn't). I've heard GREAT things about the Muzzys, and I like just replacing the blades (vs. sharpening them). Neither of the broadheads flew exactly like my field points....I'll address that issue after I bring home the bacon this weekend!!!
Cheers!

i dont know whoever told you a hog was no tougher than a deer,maybe theyve been hitting some of that tennesee shine.hogs are extremely tough and a well placed arrow is a neccessity,the shoulder is covered with cariliage and it will seal up and sometimes nearly shut down the blood flow making trailing difficult.i'm not saying you cannot kill one with a bow,just dont believe they are not tougher than nails,i usually shoot em with rocket 100 gr.steelheads,smaller diameter and i think it allows more penetration
