My preference, I shoot longbow and recurve, is heavy fixed blade heads. I shoot 63-67# bows and 160-190 grain heads work well out of my bows. I can get by with 145 grain heads, but that brings my total arrow weight down to @600 grains and increases the noise. Quiet arrows at @189 f.p.s seem to work wonders for me. No problem with blood coming out of two holes. I like to reuse broadheads for multiple pigs. Any sturdy head that has stood the test of time will work, if it is sharp, your arrows fly well, and you hit low and tight to the front leg.

Hunted gate 8 this morning (jan 21) for two hours, starting at sunrise. Hoped the overcast would have them piggies moving. Saw lots of fresh sign, but nothing seen or heard.
Between the rain last week, and two foggy mornings, the grass/leaves was still a little damp and did not make much noise. I could walk relatively quietly.
Whew! But that sunless north wind at 15 mph and 45 degrees was tough! Out in the open it was darn cold and I was buttoning up, and adding scarfs and gloves. Then you got into the trees, out of the wind, and I unbuttoning and stripping off same.Last edited by NightStalker; 01-21-2012, 11:08 AM.
