Thunder Valley Snuffer

I grabbed a handful from Braveheart when they sold, figured they would change or increase in price. Older threads stated the 125 heads were not that great but the heavier heads were good. I grabbed both, have not shot any at game yet.
As stated a file sharpens them! Brock that avatar kinda freaks me out, I like it but it does!

Just got the chance to try them out on my wooden arrows I made and posted about in the    Woodie Love  post. I found that out of 6 arrows I dedicated to hunting arrows (out of the initial dozen from surewood shafts) 4 flew great with the 160 grn snuffers! 2 flew awkwardly, but it is in no way a fault to snuffers, inconsistency in spine could be to blame as the 4 I shot flew straight but slightly stiff, the other two flew extremely weak.

The only thing I dislike about the snuffers is compared to the same weight field points, they tend to drag wind a little more thus hit a little lower than the field points. Needless to say when gap shooting at 20 yards with the broad-heads, the arrow point is pointing at the target and I hit in the kill zone.

So, I will be limiting my shots to 20 yards max with the snuffers, but then again I don't imagine myself shooting any further than 20 yards anyway!

Irregardless, one thing I will say about the snuffers: they are silent        

well.... that's changed then.. I don't think the snuffers wind noise hurts anything but its always been there  so the new ones don't do that ???

I haven't noticed any noise from my 150s...

I was surprised as well being vented. My 150 grain Steel Force Hellfires have a slight whistle from my bow, but I was amazed to find that the snuffers didn't! I think I've found my next favorite broadhead.

And to answer an earlier question about the CC Sharpener from 3rivers. I just sharpened one of the arrows that flew great tonight and got it shaving within an hour or so. When it comes to sharpening I'm pretty picky, even when it shave a little bit of hair I kept going until I could shave a good bit of hair with little effort. For the price I am pleased with the CC sharpener.
