YES! aMEN TO THE SHOT PLACEMENT. I'VE HUNTED HOGS A LOT AND STILL DO, GUIDED HOG HUNTERS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND SAW THEM SHOW WITH EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE. Personally, I use a mechanical called VORTEX made by Mar Den.. It's made from axle steel used in race cars and these things WORK. But, so do most other well constructed broadheads. The ones I shoot are 125 grain and open to 2 inches on impact. You can get them theat open to 2.75 inches. I've killed elk with these though they probably are less than ideal. I'm on the Mathews Pro Staff and shoot a lot but on game, I'm VERY picky. I wait for the slam dunk shots, thus I can get by with the big mechanicals. Just learn where your arrows are going at all reasonable shooting distances, take your time when shooting game, and put them there. GOOD LUCK! luke clayton
