choice of caliber and air archer to hunt big hogs
Hi,
what is the best to hunt big hogs 100-200 lbs weight.
.25 cal, 9mm cal or air archer?
Hunt range is between 30-80 yards
Thank you
Markus

Markus,
If your using only the AirForce rifle, I personaly would use the Airarcher, you definately know you will get the pentration and killing power. Many do kill them with the 25, but it seems light to me, but I suppose it is okay if your an expert marksman and a cool headed woodsman, I do not know much abut the performance of the 9mm Condor and what is entailed as far as customising the rifle to use a 9mm.
The thing about the Airarcher, is for under $350.00 your up and running, and also it cuts more blood vessels to kill. None of those choices have what is called knockdown power, or hydrostatic shock on an animal of that size, so you are dealing only with tissue damage.

what RC says is true i have a career 9mm shooting 128 fishing weights giving me 201fpe with a 3000 psi fill i do kill deer with it and this weekend im gonna kill a hog if it gets within 40 yds or so but i wouldnt try much farther than that unless i had a head shot the 25 with a 43grn pellet will do the trick also within 40yds if ur gun shoots them with some authority and it is an ear shot hell even a 22cal can do it if u know how
