Wow big Jim gave old Porky a headache. Thank you guy's I am working on trying to get some arrows I already have to fly right, and right now the arrow comes in a 593 grains,and fly good, but my release has to be spot on, and when I drop to a 250 grain head they fly like darts. I don't have the wingspan of Sasquatch pushing it. Gonna Play with the 300grain some more, but might need to get a pack of the vpa 1 1/4 250gr head with a 550 grain arrow weight until i can get the arrows I need to shoot the big Jim head. Even at 550 with about a 23% FOC that arrow is zippin out of a 65 pound bow. One of the joy's of the off season is playing with your arrows! That just don't sound right lol!


Blessings guys,
Dan

My experience is that if your arrows are tuned properly,  a few extra grains is not significant. ..like as much as 50. Also if you have to be perfect for an arrow to fly well, you're going to have problems.
I shot that sow while sitting. I was also bundled up a bit, not to mention a little rattled after my previous shot bounced off the squirrel cage of the feeder. I can't say for sure,  but I would bet that pigs left oyester (it was a sow by the way) that I short drew that shot at least an inch.
The arrow still flew well..enough and the broad head exited the off side of the neck after going through her skull at the ear.
She hit the ground so quick, I couldn't hardly see what was going on otherwise I think it may have passed through. ....but who knows or really cares.
With pigs, I'd rather have my arrows stay in them.
They seem to bleed better and I use lighted nocks so retrieval can be easier.

Congrats Jim!

Brain surgery failure  :D

My dad killed a huge black bear with a shot that went down exactly like that.  Don't know what the broadhead was though.

Blessed, I think you have enough horse power for any of the three. The Big Jim 300gr worked well on turkeys and the 1 1/4" VPA on deer and hogs. I do shoot about 10# less draw weight then you. They are easy to sharpen and strong.

using Big Jim broadheads next weekend for deer. they were a gift from brother Manny!
