    What do you think is the best or most optimal arrow wght and broadhead for hunting hogs?
    I may get to go on a hog hunt soon and have never done it before. So I am trying to figure out what would be best for me to use.
    I am drawing 61.5#'s at 29"
    thanks

    I only use fixed blades when I shoot hogs. Toughest buggers I've ever hunted. As for weight, I just use my deer setup, so 100 gr G5 Montecs. Just remember to shoot quartering away. Broadsight won't do it usually with the way the shoulder protects them. My son and I have hunted them 4 years in a row, and love it!! PM me if you'd like.

    Good Luck, and bring extra arrows!! You'll need them.

    I've never hunted hogs but I can't see how you could go wrong with something like the Easton FMJ's paired with a razor sharp Slick Trick.
