    Alright deer season is about to be over for me and pig season is about to start up but, I do not like to hit them with my high dollar Hunting arrows. Anyway I shoot a Mathews Z7 with a 28 in draw and the poundage is a little over 65 pounds. What would be a good cheap arrow that would fly about the same out of my bow with good results on them piggies. I shoot carbon express maximas 350's. I might consider going a little heavier for more impact.
    What do you recommend?

    I'd stay with the same arrows as for deer just to avoid a retuning headache. I shoot the same ones at everything from deer to brown bears.

    I agree with kodiak. I use the same arrows as well. The extra money is worth saving the headache. Not only that but the confidence you have in those arrows is nice to have when you are in the moment. You get what you pay for and losing an animal has to be the worst feeling in the world.

    How many pigs a year do you shoot? I would love to have your problem. Then again, if I were killing more than ten pigs a year, I would more than likely use other means than just my bow.Is there such a thing as "fishing for pigs'? I've fished for prairie dogs before. It was a gas!

    I'm totally in agreement with Kodiak...
