It does not look like the tip was taken down any to a pyramid tip and still looks undamaged.
Nice!!

I believe he did get some video but I'm not sure how much. Scott had a 12 hour shift after getting this hog out of the swamp. I'm sure he will be along shortly to fill us in on the details.
Congrats Scott!
Awesome stuff and congrats Brother! Your and Whips photos will be the first two on the Grizzly Instinct success page of the website if permission is granted in an email to Bill or I.
Very nice hog, should be some great eating. Congrats
That will fill up the freezer! Congrats!! :thumbsup:
Good morning to all and thank you for the kind words. First and foremost, I want to thank Bill for designing and manufacturing an absolutely awesome broad head and entrusting me with some of the prototypes. These heads are sleek, sturdy, easy to sharpen, and fly like darts. The hog weighed 287lbs and was, in my mind, a worthy test for these broad heads. I am shooting a 52# Big Jim's Buffalo bow and cedar arrows that weigh 650gr As is so often the case with successful hunts I was in the right place at the right time and the hunt was over 20 minutes after I got there. I started seeing a couple of large hogs on my trail cams that where soaking wet from head to tail. I have hunted the same area since 1986 so I knew they where staying in a swamp I call the duck bill. The duck bill is a raised land mass that is shaped just like a duck's head with a saddle where the ring would be on a mallard drakes neck. There is a swamp off the end of the bill, a huge gully runs under the bill and leads to the saddle in the neck. I have killed three good bucks there in past years as it is a killer funnel. I knew I could catch the hogs coming in and out of the swamp by getting on the edge of the gully and getting a shot from an elevated position as they came through. I tried two evening hunts and never saw them but caught them coming through yesterday before good daylight. The shot was 8 yards quartering away that got in my estimation 15 inches of initial penetration. The hog ran 70 yards and crashed. I feel that he rolled on the arrow and pushed it on through based on what I saw after the shot but regardless, the head past through a lot of pork and killed him outright in short order. There was not enough light for video of the hunt but I shot a short review of the broad head afterwards. I took the liberty of taking several shots at the hog carcass to further test the instinct broad head. I took four broadside shots at 10 yards with the same broad head. One low in the heart/lung area and one high on the shoulder penetrated to the fletch, two that hit the back bone where stopped with 6-8 inches of penetration. What is worthy to note is that the same head was used for all four shots with zero deformation of the tip and a relatively sharp edge was retained. That is the long and short of it gentlemen, I am off to bed to get some sleep before another 12 hour night shift. Best regards, Scott Moore
