in reply to: A long look at fletching and EFOC #33679
I have not shot it yet…… 😕
The main reason I have not shot it is….
I had to tape #3 400 grain heads together and one had my super 265 grain insert to hit the mark.
The real challenge might be getting a 1,384 grain broadhead and then getting a arrow shaft stiff enough to handle it.
I just wanted to see how far we have to go to get there.( as I sit here shaking my head )
in reply to: A long look at fletching and EFOC #33668I’ve got it……..it’s only 1,981.5 grains
It has a 1,384 grain broadhead.
It has a 11″ steel cable 180 grains.
It has an 11″ internal footing carbon arrow 108 grains.
It has a 4″ 2117 external footing.
On a 28 1/4 300 shaft
43.38 BHFOC 😯
in reply to: A long look at fletching and EFOC #33621ut’oh….. we have created a MONSTER 😯

Blackhole!!!!:shock: Now thats funny as all get out!!!:D

Well, they say a black hole sucks every thing into it…..
I was just having fun guys, and I see we are all nuts enough to try and reach the imposable, I just reached 35% now Doc Ashby raises the bar again….
If you think about it, we are HUNTERS, and most of our kills are under 25 yards, so trajectory is irrelevant at such close yardage.
With this new 43% arrow you just might, never have an arrow stay in an animal.
I like the idea of that, as I break to many arrow each year.
in reply to: A long look at fletching and EFOC #32441I hear ya Sapcut, sep, if I keep pulling it back, my ear gets caught in the string, 😕 fully stretched out I can get 29-29 1/2, except I like to stay a little compacted with some flex in my bow arm.
It takes away from my overall bow performance, however I think it increases my accuracy.
If I took one of these 300 field points ( after tapering it weighs 265 ) and put it in a Tuffhead 300 I could make a 565 grain broadhead, I might be able to catch up to Troy and his Airhammer with 40% UEFOC.
Whats after Ultra extreme forward of center (UEFOC) the BLACK HOLE. 😀
in reply to: A long look at fletching and EFOC #31889Sapcut,
You got some bad medicine right there.
I am most envious of that 71# @ 31″ draw. 😛
in reply to: A long look at fletching and EFOC #31882I was playing around today on a judo to mach my Tuffhead weight.
All with-in a few grains
Tuffhead with 100grain steel insert for 400 grains total
Judo with a 300 grain steel field point tapered to a 5 degrees, 407 grains total.
300 grain Brass field point from Joe Furlong with 100 grain steel insert for 400 grains total.

That is a cool time your entering into with your wife and daughter, enjoy it, as it seems like arrows drawn, that soon our children are on there own and gone.
Also, taking them to a target rich environment, is a sure way to get them hooked on bowhunting.

I am 100% sure a 50lb bow with the same arrow would of been nothing more than a story about ‘I hit a big one, but lost it “
The light tackle crowd can go sale there stuff to some one who doesn’t know better.
BINGO!!!!! On that last statement!!!
Biggest hog I’ve taken was in the 200-250 range. Even though it was a sow it took two 700gr arrow from a 62# bow to stop it. One shot went to the nock and the other went thru both shoulders up to the fletch. Wish i had been shooting the arrows I now carry.

That’s why when Duncan asked about ” How much bow and arrow for hogs? ” I answered it the way that I did, it’s like saying; Scott Hamilton @ 5-foot-2½ and 108 pounds is just like Pierre-Paul, @ 6-foot-5, 270-pound are the same, hogs are the same way, HUGE deference’s.
Some are vary easy to kill, others are vary hard to kill.
I’m no expert, as I am only on the north side of 500 hog kills, I am always trying to improve my set up, it’s not that my set up has not proved it’s self, it’s just I refuse to get stuck in a closed mind set.
The beautiful thing about keep improving your set-up is, we don’t lose what we already have.
If all I ever wanted to kill was a eater hog, under a 100lb, I could use some vary light tackle, as long as I picked my shots accordingly.
Me, I’m looking for monsters, the biggest, nastiest, rankest boar I can find.
in reply to: How much bow and arrow for hogs? #28164If you get far enough back, you can make a 100lb’er look like a 400lb’er lol
in reply to: How much bow and arrow for hogs? #28158It’s amazing what you can do with Trick photography.
We Know who the George Costanza’s are.
Experts at everything, and yet, have never done anything.
in reply to: How much bow and arrow for hogs? #28155My friend just sent this to me, another little piggy from California, he’s sitting WAY BACK behind it, to make it look bigger, it’s really a 100lb’er

Whenever hog questions come up I just have to bring it back to the top. Best hog thread I’ve ever seen thanks to yours and others contributions.

Hi Duncan aka Snuffornot, you go kill a hog yet, it’s been almost 3 years now.
I have a friend and he says; ” if you don’t go, you won’t go “
