Yes, kind of a snap cut.the NZ fellers do a weird low plunge T/snap back cut release.And remember, it's not all that critical to get the bores from opposite sides to line up exactly. A little bit of overlap between the two will usually break out fine when the tree commits as the rear strap is severed. And if it doesn't (which would likely mean you didn't really have that much head lean in the first place), you can then send it with a couple of wedges.
But the misaligned bore cuts hurt the pride, waste time cutting the same wood twice, make for more difficult feeding with the tip buried, and reduce chip extraction.
