Broad heads

[popup_menace]

I hunt hogs all the time. One thing we haven't talked about is arrow weight. Yes a 400 gn arrow will kill this 300 lb hog. But we are talking about a 300 lb hog. You need to look at the whole picture if building a arrow for this hog. A efoc arrow is best that's a 19% foc or more. But a lot of people don't want to spend the money on 200 plus gn heads. Not common at all at most stores. Nor is buying 50 to 100 gn inserts.

So this brings you back to using a heavy arrow. This is my opinion If I was going to hunt a 300 lb hog. I would at a min have a 500 to 525 gn arrow. Then a good cut on contact head. I would not have to worry about the thick shield that he may have.

When I build arrows for a specific animal. I look at my options. And build my arrow for T.A.P.

This guy may not be looking to build a brand new arrow just for this animal, just simply wanting to use what he has and find a well performing head.


Not arguing, just spitballing.

I was wondering what Broad head to buy for a 300 pound hog. Any recommendations

It depends on what kind of bow he shoots. Tell him to join TBH and give more info on his set-up.

He has some concerns or he wouldn't be asking about a broadhead.
Besides, it's easy to add weight to arrows you already shoot in order to take larger game.

Take enewman's advice, research heavier arrows and adding weight tubes to help you take that trophy hog. I promise you will not be sorry. No need to drastically change arrows unless this is your usual targeted game.

Not arguing, just clarifying.

I understand adding weight and such as a method to help blow through a pig/larger game. I also know that I am the kind of person that wants to make sure I don't have to sight in for a specific setup one day and then turn around and re-sight the next. I'd rather have an all around type setup than one specialized for a certain animal, at least in North America. Now if I'm chasing African game, I'll start toying with my setup. Not sure if the OP has this perspective, I just figured I'd provide mine. Either way, I know Enewman knows his stuff and can build some nasty arrows.

I have been reading up on Wac'em broadheads. The look pretty good. If not that then a cut on contact fixed blade with stout blades and defiantly a 125gr or higher. A heavier set up (arrow/broadhead) wouldn't be a bad idea either.

I am a member and I appreciate all the info. Shooting a diamond edge pro from bass pro set at 65 pounds using 400 grain arrows currently no broad heads

I think the guy meant it as a joke. As in the question seemed like you were buying broadheads for a 300# hog to shoot, not for you to shoot at a 300# hog.

Thank you sir. My humor (or attempt at it) falls flat more often than not.

I laughed at it, if that makes you feel any better...

Did you weigh out your arrows at 400 grains with or without field points? I ask because sometimes folks get confused between spine and grain (I know I did when I started). If it is 400 grains without the 100 grain field point, it'll be 500 grains total. My guess is that you mean with a 100 grain FP.

I'm a slick trick fan...

Griz trick 2's for me and razor tricks for my wife

Slick Trick Magnums. However, I've actually killed more hogs with NAP Spitfire.
Shot placement is key.

Big heads like these and watch them go down

What broadheads are these?
