    Thunder Head.. Sure did.

    Well, it's a past season hunt that I got confirmation on today.
    Toward the end of general season I took out a spike with my bow, and situation was less then desirable, he busted me a little to soon, and lacking wisdom in the moment I tried the shot as he spooked. The arrow went directly into the base of his neck and into a vertebrae. He layed right there needless to say.
    We keep and use most everything we can off the deer I kill, so this evening my wife had thawed out the neck, (for small roast and bone broth) that we knew had the broadhead still in it. After cooking the neck down a bit I retrieved the vertebrae that had the head and pulled it out.
    Here's the good part. No bent ferule, no tweak, not even a chipped blade. Dull was all that was wrong. All I have to do is re-sharpen. All the talk about tuff heads, and most reliable. Well... I think I will stay with tested and true.

              That's pretty cool congrats on the kill. I bet if you was using a rage that vertebrae would of been in a 100 pieces.

                    Tried and true for over thirty years. Not much change from the original design because it was perfect the first time. They kill animals all over the world year after year with zero advertising. Thunderheads don't need fan boys.... that stuff is for the newbies.

                    Cool trophy!

                        That would've been worth keeping intact!

                          Cool pictures. I have shot Thunderheads since they came on the market. Razor sharp and very durable.

                              Keeping intact? Nah, sharpen and re-use. No sense in wasting a good head. Just hope next time I will put in a better location.
