Kinda torn here guys. ive been to this place twice, both with my recurve. before that I went to a different place and shot one with a compound. but this year im thinking of using a short gun. the recurve is fun and challenging but I have not shot anything with two of my hunting handguns. the 29-4 SW hunter and smokeless ML striker. both will be plenty these pigs run 200-275. its one of those hunts we do every year with the same guys. its more about the time with friends than the hunt. also its more of a meat hunt than trophy hunt.

so do it again with my recurve
the 44 loaded with 25 CP WFN at 1150
or the ML with 250 XTP at 1925

what would you guys do?

The answer is obvious if you want to be a handgun hunter. The .44.
