Thunder Head 125 broadheads
I' m a first year bowhunter and am looking for some advise. I' m plan on hunting elk this year and need to get some broadheads. I' ve been looking at the Thunder Head 125 which is made by New Archery Products(NAP). Any experience/advise would be appreciated on this broadhead and its use on elk.
Thanks!
Levi

RE: Thunder Head 125 broadheads
LeviY, welcome to the board!
I have used Thunderhead 125`s almost exclusively for probably 10 years now. They fly great, and are sturdy heads. They are EXTREMELY sharp right out of the package.
They are not, in my opinion, as sturdy as some other heads, but I have yet to have a bad experience with them.
I would not think twice about using them on Elk. In fact, I have used them on elk.
Good Luck

RE: Thunder Head 125 broadheads
The T-Heads are one of the sharpest heads out there, and a proven performer over the years. However you need to ensure that your broadheads spin true on your shafts. I have found that from time to time the little o-ring may not compress equally on all sides and cause the broadhead to wobble. You just have to be diligent about ensuring each broadhead is matched to an arrow that will spin true as a combo. Once that is done, you should be in good shape.

I shot them for leagues a while back. If you ask me, anytime you have an " O" ring involved in the head, sooner or later you' ll experience some type of problem. I lost a lot of blades. Yes I know of UBARS. Myabe the difference was I was always shooting into dirt and sand butts vs foam.

RE: Thunder Head 125 broadheads
I shoot 100gr Thunderheads and really like them. I haven' t had any come apart in anything that I' ve shot them into.
Nub, how many shots per year do you put broadheads into dirt or sand? I only asks because I think that if you' re shooting hundreds or thousands of shots into sand and dirt then I would suspect you would see failures of some kind with any head.....even simply wearing them out. Just curious.

RE: Thunder Head 125 broadheads
I have shot (2) bull elk with 100 grain Thunderheads. The broadhead flys true, but I question its durability.
I will not be shooting Thunderheads at elk this year, however, I will be using them on deer and javelina.

RE: Thunder Head 125 broadheads
I have shoyt numerous deer and a moose with them and at this point see no reason to change. Unlike Nub I have yet to loose any blades. I always use one set of blades for practise and new blades for hunting. Out of the package the blades for Thunderheads are real sharp.
