This is typical in my experience with the TTSX and leads me to conclude they actually open very rapidly on contact with the animal. See my post above in which the entrance hole in the rib cage is significant larger, 2" - 3", than the exit hole, which is about 1". This pattern is typical after using the TTSX on at least 30+ animals in the last several years. The actual count could be much higher as all of the pigs killed tend not to stick in the memory.
