He's primarily a pig hunter and outfitter in TX, but the insights and experience he's got hunting with heavy arrows is pretty interesting to listen to.

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted..... proud Cracker-Americaan muslims are like coyotes, only good one is a dead one

I’ve never actually built an arrow myself, just bought them from a pro shop cut to length with whatever inserts they installed. I’d like to take a crack at this “hand loading” heavy arrows idea this off season.

I'm not planning my hunts on short range shots, so I'm not shooting a 600+ grain arrow. My arrows have a 42gr insert and 125gr tips, total weight 463gr. I have the penetration I need which was proven on my bull this year. I do have some 150gr tip I may shoot at a bear this year, still undecided. I still like to play with arrow weights and my chrono. Y'day I shot 3 weights with 2 different bows.
