        Here are the first two of my Pig Stickers – Tapered Sitka Spurce self nocks with 200grain Saw Blade Trade Point heads. Total arrow weight is 560 grains with a Front of Center of 24%. They may be just a hair heavy for my #45 self bow but I’m banking on a shot of 10 yards or less, so they should really thump a piggie.

        Here is the first shot of each of them I took a 10 yards. They are sure dialed in for that range, so I’m a little pumped right now. Can’t wait to get on the pigs this weekend.

          Purty work there Bounty Hunter. I got to get busy and make some of those for my self bow. Hope you do good on the pigs this weekend.

            Those look absolutely wicked. I smell bacon…

              Hot dogs, Derik. I’m doubly jealous — of both your evil-gorgeous arrows and your piggie population. Go get some. Dave

                Thanks guys! Will be trying to climb into the stand around 4 AM in the morning. If nothing by daylight I’ll try them again about 11 PM. I left my camera in test mode so I don’t have them patterned very good yet. Might take a few day to be in the stand when the hogs show up. Can’t sit them stands as many hours as I once could. 🙁

                  This morning was a bust. Camera said they were there between 9 and 11 last night, so I’m going to slide back over about 8 these evening.

                    Nice arrows, simple yet elegant, just like a trad bow! I drew on a little 100 lb. boar Thursday but he stepped behind a tree just in time, hopefully you’ll have better luck! Lots of pigs around Lake Tawakoni. Good luck!

                      Thanks Lee! I’m actually hunting just outside the city limits of Alvin, TX. I’m right next to Chocolate Bayou and there are a ton of pigs there. The are getting into the people’s yards in the subdivision next to Chocolate and that is why I’m out there. Last year I was sucessful in running them off and putting pork in the freezer. Well they came back and tearing folks yards up again, so I got a phone call. They are smarter this year, so that makes if fun to see if I can figure them out, kill a few and run them off. The subdivision doesn’t want anyone out there with guns, so that is perfect.
