New Thunderhead

[southpawshooter]

Remember when NAP Thunderheads were available in 160 grains??  They had a larger cut diameter than the 125's and were aimed at the trad bowhunters.  They were fantastic heads.  They were discontinued awhile ago, but I saw they are now producing 170 grain BH's.  Same cut as the 125 but with a steel ferrule.  Check this out -

   Thunderhead 170  

Has anyone seen one of these yet?

Thunderheads are awesome no doubt, I shot them when I used to shoot compound bows. Always left good blood (100gr.) I have not seen these yet. Should be a great BH.

I shoot phantoms now woth trad stuff, before was STOS which I call a trad phantom w/out bleeders.

Haven't seen any but I still have a couple of the old 160 grain TWO blades they used to make. Picked them up at a fire sale 15.00 for six. Try to post some pics.

Thanks for the info Scott...

I used T-Heads exclusively for years (85gr-125gr) with my compounds. Best, most consistent, and sharpest heads I ever found. Never a lot of hype and gimmicks, just good, solid heads....

It's nice to see them making these heavier ones, I will have to get me some....

[southpawshooter]

Yeah Danny, I shot Thunderheads pretty much exclusively myself.  Tough, no nonsense heads.  And the sharpest blades ever.  

Bentpole-

I've never shot the old 2 blades, but have seen them.  I have a box of the 3 blade 160's, but can't find the replacement blades.

I'm gonna have to look at the new ones first hand.

When I shot aluminum sticks I felt Thunderhead 125s were the very best. Now I shoot wood. For deer T-heads are great. For anything bigger, we really should be shooting 2-blades, which is all I use now and have largely gotten away from losing animals to one-lung penetration. 2-blades penetrate and kill faster. Multi-blades leave a better blood trail but penetrate less. Again, with deer it probably doesn't matter. My 2 pence.

cool, but without a glue on, for me at least, it's a  moot point.  

I loved the TH back in the day though.

I'd use 'em. Heck, I'd use the regular Thunderheads without a doubt in my mind that they'd preform...

[twosheds]

Thunderhead 100's were very good to me back in my compound days.

Good to see more options out there in terms of heavier broadhead weights.

You know, everywhere I see adds for 'em, I see them being advertised as heads for crossbow hunters. Then why is it I get the feeling they'll see more of a following from traditional bowhunters...
