Broadhead?
 

Which braodhead have you all used and liked the best on hogs? I am going to be hunting some hogs in the future and I am wanting to know which heads are best for hogs. I normally use mech's (Scorpion XP) for deer, but I am not sure if they would do well on a hog. Thanks.

Broadheads on hogs?

RE: Broadhead?
 

I am with you . We are covered up with pigs on our lease and I have been preparing to use Rocky Mtn Snyper's. I guess the best rule of thumb is make good shots.

RE: Broadhead?
 

I use two different ones. Thunderhead 125 grain... and Grim reapers Mechanicals 125 grain...They both do the job just fine.

RE: Broadhead?
 

I've never used a mechanical. Muzzy 3 blade 100gr has dropped a bunch of hogs for me. I agree with the 1/4 away shot or straight broadside behind the shoulder. Another shot I like if I'm within 20yds is right behind the ear. That drops them right now.

RE: Broadhead?
 

Has anyone ever used the Slick Trick broadhead? They look really well built, and looks like they will penetrate very well. The reviews say they will fly straight and penetrate deep. I have heard the muzzy's have a tendency to fly eradically on some setups.

RE: Broadhead?
 

I'm a firm believer in Muzzy 100 gr. 3-blade broadheads. I have killed lots of deer and hogs with them. They really are "Bad to the bone". Had a hunter on our ranch a while back kill a couple hogs with Tekan 2 mechanical broadheads, really did a number on them. Killed both hogs with same broadhead, I was impressed.

Please do not use a mechanical unless you are shooting 75lbs plus. Hogs have alot of fat and close up holes easily.

RE: Broadhead?
 

I have used a whole gambit of them through the years. Ive used Bear 2 blades, thunderheads, muzzy 3 blades,tekkie 3 blades, first cut 2 blades, nap spitfire, nap shockwaves, steal heads, and eagle mechanicals. My favorite is the spitfires and shockwaves. All work great though, the only issue you might consider is cut diameter and shot placement. Stick with the smaller cut diameters for penetration and stay out of the shield. If you do so, you will have no problem.

RE: Broadhead?
 

Just make sure to take good shots. I have taken many, many hogs with mechanicals and no problems. I shot everything from my 70lb compounds, 65 lbs compounds, 60 lb recurve, and 52lb recurve. If you stay out of the shield, keep the shot low, and use a small cut diameter, you will have no problem. I have not had one problem with any mechanical Ive used. Actually, I have not used anything but mechanicals for the past 6 years.

I shot this guy 5 months ago withmy old Herters recurve which is52 lb @ 28". It was a little over a 35 yards shot. I took it with a nap shockwave. He ran all of 20 yards and piled up. He was right at 300lbs.

Mechanicals have saved us loosing pigs plenty of times. The expandable actually rips the flaps better there by allowing the blood to continue to flow. Fixed blades are good when you have less cover. Heavy cover , you need blood fast and real fast. Fixed or mechanical, is a question of how tough they are for the hide and bone. Like Burnie said, shot placment is key.

Shot placement with a sharp blade is the key. Fixed or mech. I use Montecs, but am thinking I may try the new Rage head.

RE: Broadhead?
 

3Blade Muzzys. After the performace i had this weekend i dout i will ever shoot anything else. Slice bone like butter and left a nice spiral trail threw and threw on 2 hogs with one shot.... thats a good broadhead in my book.

RE: Broadhead?
 

Out of the fixed heads, I really like the muzzy 3 blades. That and the slick tricks. I also liked the sonic fixed head.
