Hank Boswell 2011 Deer & Hog

Joe
I ordered some heads from you a while back and we
had a slight mix up which you promptly cured and were so kind to send me a
pocket sharpener, thought I would give you a report on the performance of
your heads.
Had a hunt last weekend a shot a deer and a hog
with your Tuff-Heads. The buck was a broadside shot on a typical West Texas
deer that was 3 yrs old I would say. The arrow buzzed throughout the deer on
a double lung shot and I watched him fall at about 50 yards, total
penetration and good blood trail but not needed.
The hog was a better test as they are pretty
tuff. A broadside shot, straight up the fore leg, is what seems to work best
for me. This shot was about where I wanted, maybe a hair forward. Again the
hog went about 50 yards and rared up on its back legs and fell over dead,
actually the deer did the same thing before expiring. The arrow went through
all the vitals but the broad head was buried about an inch under the skin in
the off side shoulder. There was lots of blood and a great blood trail
especially towards the end. I would say stellar performance from your head.
I am only shooting a 50 lbs bow and the hog was pretty wide across.
Thanks for a great product.
