Title: First Hog !!!
Post by: WAC on July 12, 2014, 03:08:00 PM
My son Dallas (the youngest member of WAC Outdoors LLC) shot his first game animal with a traditional bow last night, a 70# porker. Used a Big Jim Buffalo Bow and 2016 shafts tipped with Grizzly Broad Heads (Total weight 600gr.). I think Bill from Grizzly is going to chime in and put some pics up for us. Here are the particulars. The bow is 52# @ 28, his draw is 24 so we'er looking at 43-44lbs? Quartering away shot entered last rib and fractured shoulder blade on the off side, 4" of shaft plus broad head sticking out. Pig ran 50 yrds and flopped over dead. I could not be more proud of my son. He has been practicing every night for weeks on a 3D hog target and put the shot right on the money!

A big thank you to Bill Dunn for posting pics for us and making a great broad head. Pigs are falling every where we go with grizzly single bevel heads, and I haven't met a pig yet that didn't need a good killing!

Great to hear from you Wally, We really enjoyed being at the NCTAR and meeting everyone who came by the W.A.C. Outdoors booth. Yes, I am very proud of Dallas, he worked really hard at being ready when his moment of truth came. Proper prior preparation really does prevent poor performance !

Good stuff Kirkll. I've shot Grizzlies for a long time and count on them to hold up and insure an exit hole. I've killed a pile of critters with them. On top of that, Bill and Tracy are top shelf people.
