Congrats on a nice hog. I'm curious to hear your thoughts regarding the BH overall and specifically what kind of a bloodtrail did it leave as compared to some others you've shot.

Thanks!

the blood trail was not what i expected. the hog went 15/20 feet in a circle sat down and tipped over. the head had no sign of dammage.no thawk on entry. head can be tune on a file and ready to go. was pretty much bled out in the chest cavity. i would use them again .

15 - 20 feet = no bloodtrailing. Wow!!!

If you don't mind humoring me, next time you kill something with this BH, post up again. I'm really curious as to how an actual bloodtrail would look like. My guess is that much like any BH, put it where it's supposed to be and you'll have a good trail to follow. Excellent job!

sure yoda i can do that.

I have used them and shot them side by side with my silver flames and they fly just as good. Didn't hold the edge quiet just as much as a silver flame but it does work awesome.

They are an under appreciated and a great value head.
