Question from a newbee
I have never hunted before, and recently was given a 50lb recurve bow. A buddy of mine is going to let me mirror him this deer season so I can learn the ropes. I will not be hunting. We have been scouting and we alway see hogs. My question is, if I get to shooting my bow well enough by spring, will it be enough to kill a hog with?
Thanks Derk |

Sure it will. Txjourneyman takes them with a bow about that size, I believe.
I echo, practice, practice, and practice some more. |
RE: Question from a newbee
also, beside practicing make sure to use good scent control products

Txjourneyman takes them with a bow about that size, I believe. He has taken a couple of hogs with his recurve. We are hoping to get his Long Bow bloody next week end on a deer. |
RE: Question from a newbee
sure will be, but it will take lots of work from you. Put the time in on the range, and youll be good to go!

I recently saw Tred Barta hunt wild hogs on TV with a home made bow and some hand made cedar arrows with carved stone broadheads. His set up had enough penetration to make a double lung shot on a 150lb hog. I think your setup should be fine.
