Got him!

[highpoint]

New PCHXC 49# out in East Tx yesterday PM. Shot four. This was #1. Heavy arrows and Grizzlystik Silverflame broadheads. Shooting through the little side window 25yds I tried to put it between the shoulders as he faced me feeding, so top down to lungs or liver etc, and hit a bit further back than I wanted, maybe broadhead wasn't sharp enough......

Four different sounders this big came in after 6pm. So many hogs! There was a nice boar off to the left I couldn't see due to the blind opening. You'll notice it turns and looks, and goes back to business, nice cutters and a razorback. Going back on the 7th. Wish I saw him. Also saw several nice boars cruising by but wind was swirling....

I felt like the arrows were flying HIGH each shot, but I was sitting while shooting and that's 10 yards further than what I am shooting daily to practice but would that mean a DROPPING arrow not a RISING arrow? Maybe that's the broadhead?

Arrow Total Weight (grains). 606.6
Arrow Specific Weight (GPP) 11.7
Front of Center (FOC) % 16.5
Arrow Speed (ft/sec) 170.3

Think unconsciously you are shooting high to avoid hitting that very narrow bottom window opening. I've done that before so had to reconfigure how I opened the window.

That is a lot of hogs! So did you get him or not?

Yeah I'm shooting through a triangle opening, messes with depth perception pretty certain. There were so many pigs. I never got a chance to get out of the blind to even go look for the one I hit and he was long gone by the time it was dark and we were done. We did not find an illuminated arrow anywhere so wherever he ran off to that arrow did not come out I'm pretty sure he had about six or 7 inches of arrow stuck in him as well plus the broad head length hard to say if I hit the lungs or the liver. He ran through a solid thicket that never ended so that Grizzlystik 150gr had to have been slicing him up inside, and the Traditional Only 340 shots are bulletproof. We would have found it if it came out as he crashed through all that brush and low tree limbs. My guide will find him. That nock will go for 50 hours.

I just shot 25 arrows, same bow same arrows, and never missed my target at 17 yards which was about my range yesterday. Either the broadheads made the arrows go higher or the depth perception shooting through a hole does something to how you range and sight the animal while shooting instinctively?
