Are their any pictures of the entrance and exit holes out there does anyone know? Just seeing how they compare to the original Thunderhead.

Im sure that Jason/220 can dig some up, but he won't be around until tomorrow sometime.

I've got some footage on the T-Head edge entrance and exit hole, but it's in ballistics gel not an animal. From what I experienced with the ballistics gel test the T-Head edge really tore up the gel. I aligned the offset blades with my feathers causing the head to spin and twist upon entry. Hope the video helps.

Question. How much better are the Thunderhead Edge over the standard Thunderhead. Is it worth the switch? Are you really gaining that much?

I got to shoot my TH Edges last night and I am really impressed. They fly great and really tore some holes in my cardboard/foam target. I can't wait to see what they do to a deer.

3 Dandy North Dakota bucks went down to the Thunderhead EDGE this past week!

We should have the "report" and some video on our blog from the hunt here in the coming days. The EDGE did some excellent work.

I'll be loading it up for a Moose hunt in less than 3 weeks ... see what it does on a really big critter!

how were the blood trails

220@NAP

Both the blood trails on my doe last year and my Moose this year were excellent. The doe only went about 50 yards and piled up in a thicket. She "would have been" within site had it not been for how thick the brush was where she went down. Easily followed an excellent bloodtrail right to her after dark. I saw blood blowing out both sides as she walked away, so I knew she wasn't going far.

The Moose, first shot @ 45 punched through his boiler room ... fletchings snagged on ribs or hide on the exit side and was dangling. Put a second shot on him @ 60, EDGE drove through into the offside shoulder, arrow broke as he turned to run away. He ended up going down within site ... so I didn't need a bloodtrail ... though he left plenty of blood on the ground if I had needed to trail him.

In both cases, as amazed as I was with the blood-letting ... I was more impressed with the penetration from the T-head EDGE.

The doe, it zipped through her perfect double-lung, and still had enough energy left to bury about 8 inches into the ground.

The Moose, first shot ripped through him, again, only getting snagged via the fletchings on the offside ... it eventually fell loose as he ran off. Second shot, from 60 yards hit a bit higher, punched through and buried into his off-side shoulder. The arrow broke, and I found the tail ~10" of the arrow. Never did find the head/front end of the arrow when we gutted him, so I assumed it was in the gutpile, and didn't really want to dig through by hand searching for it.

Ended up, the butcher found the head and front of the arrow buried in the offside shoulder when he started deboning it. Not a nick on any of those 3 heads!

Though I really like the Spitfire MAXX, and have no problems sending it downrange with full confidence ... the Thunderhead EDGE is my own #1 "go-to" head.

On the other deer taken with the EDGE from the "Trophy Gallery" thread, the three bucks by Corey Spotted Bear, John Arman and his daughter Shelby ... none of them made it out of sight ... but again ... all left excellent bloodtrails.

On Russ Arman's buck, he shot him at last light. We trailed him that night for about 100 yards before pulling back. Had a pass-thru, but was a bit surprised that we didn't have more of a bloodtrail—though following a bloodtrail in tall grass at night is never a great experience, ha.

Found his buck the next morning about 12 yards from where we stopped the night before. The exit wound was right behind his offside front leg. When we skinned him out, the diaphram was FULL of blood. Figuring is, due to where the exit hole was, as the buck ran, the hide most likely was sliding back and forth with the motion of that front leg, and likely covering the exit hole leading to less blood loss than we expected.

Obviously, we could see more blood the following morning in the daylight.

I really appreciate you taking your time and giving me more detail. Im 18 and have been rifle hunting since I was 6 and I worked down to a .220 swift and loved shooting deer with it. I just wanted to up the challenge a little bit so I bought a PSE Vendetta X-force 74lb 28in and I hope to have some luck with my T-Edges this year. Hopefully I can see how they work out tonight Maybe that girl wont show me up to bad lol
