Trying to cast a Tomahawk head

This has been my second attempt pouring and I feel like I am so close! The tip of the head looks perfect but the broad side looks terrible.

I made my mould out of refractory cement and it was heated to 500⁰C before pouring in the 90/10 aluminum bronze. Central pouring sprue and vents on every corner. Was there to much turbulence? What would cause those massive pits on one side but not the other?
