tedicast Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: Broadheads I don't shoot expandables, I'm toally happy with my Wasp Boss Bullets. If I were to switch, the first head I would try would be the Grim Reapers. I haven't heard a bad thing about them, and have heard plenty of good.

mainebuck Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: Broadheads I've had pretty good results with the spitfires. I don't shoot them exlusively. I've killed 1 deer and 1 turkey with them. They fly good. Haven't had any problems with them opening or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: Broadheads I used spitfires one year, and took one buck with them. I hit the deer right in the shoulder blade, clipped the top of his heart, and nearly severed his windpipe. The deer died within 15 seconds I'd say, about 40 yards from my stand. The arrow did not pass through, but I attribute that to hitting the shoulder blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranchand99 Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: Broadheads If you go with Nap try the spitfire XP's.If you are looking for something else go with Rocky mountain Snypers.Snypers are my overall favorite expandable.The new snyper xp3's look awesome too!Here check this out. http://www.rockymtbroadheads.com/01-snyper.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest clayton819 Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: Broadheads thoes look good may have to get a set to play with. they look like field points do they fly as good?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranchand99 Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: Broadheads I used the 100gr snypers the past two years,and my friend used the 100gr spitfire xp last year.I have used the spitfire 125gr on a crossbow,and a 100gr spitfire with my bow 3 years ago.I would pick the snyper over the spitfire without blinking.The spitfires are ok,but sometimes only 2 of 3 blades open on quartering shots.Just my experiences.I used the shockwaves,but they aren't near as sharp as the spitfires.Spitfires are definately the best mechanical that NAP makes.Both fly really good,both fly just like field tips,I just like the way the snypers function.Snypers,and spitfires are both sharp.Hope I helped.

PAbowhunter4life Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: Broadheads I've used the 100 grain Spitfires and Shockwaves. Both fly great and will do their job if shot is placed well, but the Shockwave gets through bone better than the Spitfire does, just in case. There are so many quality mechas on the market today it's unbelieveable. That being said, I switched to fixed blade Slick Trick 100's this year. 4 blades, 1 1/8" cut ( over 2" of cutting diameter since it's a 4 blade), and the y fly EXACTLY like my field points and will fly just as good as any mechanical head on the market, hands down.

robk Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: Broadheads okay here is my thing for mechanicals. i shoot them almost exclusively and have for a long time. i shoot the rocket steelheads and you can't and won't find a better head out there. this is not a ploy it is the truth. the 2nd best in my arsenal is the snyper from rocky mountain and 3rd the rocky mountain gators but i use them for turkey great cutting surface and does a job on turkey necks lol if you go and shoot the rockets you will see why i shoot them, i can cross the t's and dot the i's with them and that is not a joke or funny it is the truth. i will put them up against any mechanical out there. if you decide to go to a fixed head again then i would say the toughest little head i have found and my testing them as well as 5star shows the american broadhead the sonics are the best there is for a 3 blade cut on impact and slams the 1x4 and pentrates farther than any other broadhead of both types there is and blew thru a 55 gal drum steel by the way and never even bent or broke a blade and they have the best locking system for their blades on the market and no i am not on their shooting staff but if they offered i would go there toot sweet. take a look at them all but try them if you can and you will see i tell the truth i am not bragging i am saying how it is rob k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tyshe17 Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Re: Broadheads The spitfires worked well for me, I dont know why but I went to Muzzy's this year, I guess I wanted the challenge of getting them to fly stright. It didnt take much and I am happy with them, but like I said the spitfires are great for faster bows (it takes about 20lbs to open them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maytom Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Re: Broadheads I have been shooting the Rocket 100 gr Steel heads as well, but I'm not impressed with their screw length on this broadhead. It seems that they could be another 1/4" longer at the very least!! I'm seriously thinking of switching to the 100 gr Slick-Trick heads, but I've been reading that their blades could be a much sharper? Any truth to that???

Guest shtr Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Re: Broadheads Shoot the spitfires and you will be on here after your first deer telling us about how you have never seen a deer go down faster. You will also be telling us about the unbelievable blood trail you witnessed. I will bet you a pack of spitfires on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shtr Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Re: Broadheads I know a girl named Vicky that bags bear after bear with a 48 - 50# bow and spitfires. The hype on the high K.E. side of the exspandable argument is over hype for nearly every head now a days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
