You can't deny the tried and true thunderheads. Bad shots, good shots they've never let me down.

Let me know how that goes Jeff. Earlier this season I had momentarily considered switching from my beloved thunderheads because of the tediousness to find ones that spin true on my arrows. Granted, these are all heads that are at least 8 years old when I stocked up on a "lifetime" supply.
I was wondering if the newer heads would be easier to get spinning true, because after this hit I had on this buck, those heads reassured me that they are once again, capable of putting down a deer even on a marginal hit. And if new models easily spin true, that is what my choice will be.

Pick up a pack of ST's and those Thunderheads will become "Collector's Items!!!"
I fought with T-Heads to get them right, and went to Muzzy, then tried "junk" Eastman's that are like a combination of the two, and they flew better than either of the above, but nothing flies like a ST IMVHO.

I ordered the inserts....and the vanes/wraps, today. If I can get the arrow worked out....I'll have them built to test, Thursday.
I'll let you know how it goes, Ryan.

There are four or five that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. I shoot slicktrick's myself, and I've shot them on targets out to 80 yards. They are limited only by my poor shooting.
Slick Tricks
Tried and tested... hard to improve on... NAP Thunderheads.
G5 Montec
G5 Striker or Wac'Ems
Wasp's
And an often overlooked head that is one of the strongest five piece heads ever made, InnerLoc's.
