Just confirmed all the details! My Dad, Girlfriend, and I are going hog hunting down in Florida!  I'm planning on shooting my 145 grain 2-blade magnus stingers on a 560 grain 2018 out of my 56# longbow.  I know the arrow weight is good to go but would you guys shoot that broadhead or something different? let me know what you guys think

I was told by Curtis Kellar that any good 2 blade is good for hogs.

Yep...killed hogs with that broadhead in a similar setup. Keep them sharp and shoot for the vitals.

Nope,wont work.Thats what a compound shooter the other day at a sport show told me.He said "No arrow under 100# out of a traditional bow could kill a hild hog".He also told me he had a whole year experience in archery. So......There you are.......You bet you can,have fun and post us all some good pic's.

100 lbs!?!?!? I don't know where your guy is getting his info cause I had one behind the counter of a pro shop tell me they didn't make longbows with draw weights over 25#'s.   :p

I figured it would work alright but I've never shot a hog.  I'm excited now I just have to wait until march.

I would shoot somthing differant but that is just my personal choice, the 145 grain 2 blade magnus is a great head and will do a good job. Go get a big one and show us some pics when you get back.

your set will work, I like to use 3 blades myself. I shot a small hog this year and a deer last year with a popular 4 blade broadhead and had no problems. I have taken game with 2 blade broadheads but I prefer a sharp 3 blade for deer and hogs. Good luck with your hunt, aim low and tight to front leg, avoid quarter forward shots.

Well it's basically between my stingers and some wensel woodsman elites.  I'm probably going to bring both and maybe i'll get lucky and get to use both!

jesse cales
