Thunderhead Users
This year I made the switch from mechanicals to Thunderhead Pro Series 100s. Just tried them out today. Surprisingly, I lost 5 yards on each of my pins. They seem to fly very well. They are on left - right, but they drop much more quickly than my field tips. Anyone else have this problem. I plan to take both my field tips and Thunderheads to an electronic scale today to see if there is a difference in weight. Supposedly they are the same.

RE: Thunderhead Users
I agree with Jeff, sounds like a minor tuning issue. I've always been able to get my Thunderheads to fly true and with my field pionts at all ranges out to 40 yards(farthest I pracice).

RE: Thunderhead Users
This broadhead is longer then the feild tips which moves the FOC forward. Hence the quicker drop....Seen this myself at a shot at a deer at 40 yards and hit considerable lowwer. Went to a shorter furrell broadhead.
