Hogs and penetration

[Trick]

Thats always my goal Glen, but our pigs don't stick around long. If you dont take the first good shot you get, you probably won't get a shot at all. Mr. Sarrels is making me a heavier set of limbs too, which should help along with the smaller broadheads.

Thanks,

Heavier arrows, smaller BH and more lead in the butt... that's a good combo for getting more penetration in that piggage...

At my age most of the lead has already leaked out..

I've been getting a bit frustrated lately when it comes to these hogs. Over the past 2 weeks I shot 4 hogs, 3 in the 200-250lb range and one 150lbs or so. 2 of the bigger pigs were basic rib shots behind the shoulder which I ended up tracking for several hundred yards before they left our property. Pretty annoying when you spend that much time tracking on your hands and knees thru plum thickets and such and you dont find the animal. The other was right in the arm pit, just a good low heart shot. With dismay, I watched that pig cross the county line, literally. I'm just not getting the penetration to the other side of the rib cage. Basically I feel like I'm just getting 1 lung in most cases, and a pig can go along ways on one lung. I've shot more pigs than I can count with a compound and unless I just made a bad shot they were usually down in short order. Didn't always have pass thrus, but I was usually poking out the other side. Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting that with my Longbow. I'm shooting 52lb@28, my actual draw length is 27 1/2". So maybe 50lbs??? Haven't actually put it on a scall to see. My arrows are 560grs with alot of FOC. They are 3555 Goldtips with 100gr brass inserts and 200gr Simmons Landsharks with the broadhead adapters installed. Whitetails are not a problem, Does are pass thrus and when I've shot bucks the arrow is usually just hanging out the other side. Here's my thinking, I need to go to a smaller broadhead for these hogs, but I need to maintain that 200grs too. How can I take a standard 100gr broadhead and add 100grs to it? Or is there a small broadhead out there that I can use steel broadhead adapters on and get 200grs out of it? If I can just reach the other side of that rib cage I think I can drop these pigs in short order. Any thoughts?

Thanks for reading,

You should watch the video posted of the cutaway of the hog.
Sounds to me like you keep hitting the void if your slamming by the ribs.
Check it out bro.
If someone has a link post it for the guy please.
