The New Ravin 470 vs. Texas Hogs

The New Ravin 470 vs. Texas Hogs

Hog hunts are a great way to test any product.  Wild hogs don’t have the eyesight of a whitetail deer, but possess an excellent sense of smell and have an armor-like gristle plate covering their vitals that is not easily penetrated.  I’ve double-lunged a hog with a large broadhead, watched steam escape from each side of the pig, and had it walk off.  Great accuracy is needed to dispatch a wild hog, which makes it the perfect test for an effective whitetail bow.

470 is Plenty Fast
