[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1492163, member: 5412"] I watched the video, and pretty much agree with the guy. His opinion about heavier arrows, and kenetic energy is nothing different than using a .17hmr on an elk vs. a 30-06. As we all know there are variables in hunting when shooting for shot placement, be it gun or bow. The shots were through the scapula(high) as well as the plate. My shots for the pigs I took were when the leading leg was extended, eliminating the scapula, and resulting in a complete pass through. Same shot I attempt to use on deer, as it eliminates wasting one shoulder. Unfortunatly for me, I don't have near the experience taking the nasty critters as you guys do with a bow. From what I've seen and heard, that plate, is some pretty tough stuff, and I know for a fact it has stopped some .44 mag factory rounds. My buddy that was with us on the hunt, did not bow hunt, and used his pistol. He shot a meat hog, at 25 yds, knocking it down, and it got up and ran off without a blood trail. Here is a fun video to watch about hogs. Its really short, so pay attention: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WwK_1SFE_8[/url] [/QUOTE]
