Nice hog Rattlesnaker! Did you weigh that beast? Looks pretty stout.

I didn't weigh him but I'd guess that he weighs about 225 lbs.

How did the triple shocks work? Penetration/dammage/raction ect.

I am back from a long Hiatus... or whatever.
Take care.

The triple shocks worked great. Entered one shoulder and exited the opposite shoulder and turned the heart into soup in between.

Did it stop him in his tracks or did he manage to run a bit? Just curious.

No, he didn't run at all. He dropped where he was standing. I was very impressed with the triple shocks.

Rattlesnaker, reason I ask is because I shot a 200 lb hog once and the bullet pretty much shreaded the heart and he still managed a 50 yard sprint into the forrest......
