Ironically, I am just getting around to making 2 callers out of last years gobbler.
just bought one of those buckmaster block targets from waly-world today. I got whiplash fron a recent car accident and not supposed to lift over 15 lbs, so gotta go slow and see if I can draw the bow without hurting the neck any further. keep fingers crossed.
Nacho, turn the bow all the way down. I've witnessed hundred-plus pound hogs taken down by ladies drawing less than forty pounds of draw weight!
One particular, her name was Toby also, down in Hardee county. She hit the big sow at twenty or so yards, right through the chest with an ACC-3/28 arrow tipped with an 85gr NAP Thunderhead broadhead from a High Country single cam bow with a 26" draw length and only thirty-eight pounds of draw weight. The arrow went all the way through and was sticking out the other side, held in by the fletchings, as the hog spun and ran. It fell out about thiry yards down the blood trail and we found the dead sow thirty or so yards beyond that.
Point is, you don't have to haul back all that weight to kill a deer or pig. Drop the weight, tune the bow accordingly and enjoy your hunt!
well said Toby!
