I recently had the opportunity to hunt wild hogs in Southeastern, MO. It was a hot, windy, late April day. Not ideal conditions for a still-hunt/spot-and-stalk hunt. The hogs were bedded up in heavy/large brushpiles and were VERY SPOOKY. I was using my 80 Lb pull Howard Hill longbow, Alaska Bowhunting Supply-GrizzlyStik-Safari arrows(see www.alaskabowhunting.com), tipped with a Grizzly broadhead for my hunt.
I had read Dr. Ed Ashby's research on the use of heavy bows, heavy arrows and single bevel broadheads, that he has conducted over the last 25 years, both in the field and while hunting. The hog hunt was an opportunity to test out his research myself.
After a very hard, long and difficult hunt, I managed to shoot a nice hog. The arrow BLEW THROUGH the hog easily. My guide said that he'd never seen an arrow create an Instant and Massive blood trail like that before. The hog went down within 15 yards.
I am a very firm believer in heavy bows, heavy broadheads and single bevel cut-on-contact broadheads. Dr. Ashby's research has proven out, time after time.
Light Arrows and poor quality broadheads cause wounded and lost animals. Most bowhunters need to go to a heavier arrow and solid broadhead for better results.
