I think you are right and am glad the thread helped out.

Great post Big Boar, i have a better appreciation for the old and new heads when you see them side by side like that.The old because the craftsmanship to think them up and manufacture them was innovative and advanced for their time.The new because they used a variation of the new and improved on the old classic design's with light weight and stronger materials.

Kind of like the muscle car's of the sixty's.The retro look of the mustang camarro and challenger in a highly improved car that out breaks and out handle's the older version with better mpg and more hp.Win Win in my book.....................

To go along with this thread there is now another new head that came out which belongs in this group of heads with a ring. It is the "Fire N The Hole".



There web site is at
Fire-n-the-Hole™ 3-D Broadhead

Interesting that "Fire-in-the-Hole" ring is conical instead of parallel to the flight. What a lovely hinderance to penetration.

Does you wife know where your wedding ring is?

I am not sure what you mean by this, but it is made the same as every other one of the heads shown. The ring is concentric with the arrow so that the air flow goes through the inside of the ring during flight. This is actually supposed to stabilize the flight of the arrow.

Sorry to bring TTT an old post but as mentioned, I do lots of research here.
Raghorn already informed me of what this head was (indirectly) lol.

He told the owner and I swapped for it.

This is the "scalloped" version of the Trail Eze mentioned......correct?

Sorry for poor photos. Forgot to get batteries for my reg camera.

Always amazes me at how light some of the early heads were. Not all but more than I would have expected before looking into it.

God Bless

Somehow missed Shep's photo above of same.

Sorry, I haven't dropped in lately.


What I was pointing out is that, from a frontal surface area, the Fine-N-The-Hole has a [relatively] very wide ring surface. If you look at a Trail-Eze or a Bigras you're looking at maybe 0.025" of ring width. With that FNTH head it appears to be three times the thickness and of a cone shape - wider at the base than the ring's cutting/leading edge - that you would have to push through tissue; or bone. Looks like it would act as a sea drogue anchor.

JMHO.

THE ADMIRAL hit me with one like Shep's with a heart-shot. I ain't never recovered.
