Guest wasp Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I was just curious if any one shoots either of these mechanical heads. What lb. bow do you shoot and what kind of results have you had? Just got through watching prime time bucks video and alot of those guys were using spitfires it didnt seem like they got very good penetration at all but all of these bucks droped within sight. Are they that good? They were using them in last years videos too. I have never shot mech. would like to hear some posts. Thanks wasp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HaDeRonDa Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Re: spitfires and wasp jackhammers mech. Hey Wasp, I have shot spitfires and currently have one in my quiver. Great head and I have had great results with them. Out of four deer I have shot with them only one was not a passthru at < 60 lbs DW. I haven't used Wasps but would love to give them a try. Maybe later this year I will give them a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach1 Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Re: spitfires and wasp jackhammers mech. I've used Spitfires for 6 years and shot 3 deer with them. 1 pass-thru, but the other 2 hit the opposite shoulder causing them to not pass-thru. All deer went down within 100 yds. I shoot a 60 lb draw weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RackBlaster Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Re: spitfires and wasp jackhammers mech. I have used the Spitfire XP the last 3 years and will never use anything else. They produce a massive entry and exit wound. The deer i shot last season actually had some insides hanging out of the exit wound. I use 125 grain head with a 65 lbs. draw weight with beman 340 carbon arrows. Here is a pic of a deer i shot 2 years ago showing the exit wound .

AdvantageTimberLou Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Re: spitfires and wasp jackhammers mech. I had some of those WASP JakHammers and they fly great and do some serious damage. Then again any head by NAP is a great. Either one with a well placed shot will get the job done! Good luck!

Jeramie Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Re: spitfires and wasp jackhammers mech. [ QUOTE ] Either one with a well placed shot will get the job done! [/ QUOTE ] Thats exactly right. Either will easily get the job done. 60lbs is plenty of pull for a mechanical (im not sure what youre pulling). Both are reparable heads and deadly if you take a good shot. The key is to wait for the right shot.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_lou Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Re: spitfires and wasp jackhammers mech. I shoot the WASP Jackhammer SST and have had 3 deer all go down within sight of my stand. 1 pass through and 2 buried to the fletching. I shoot 65 pounds. However, like was said above, shot placement is the most important thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffett1 Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Re: spitfires and wasp jackhammers mech. I mentioned this in a different post, but the guy at the pro shop said if you want a mechanical, this is the one he would feel most comfortable taking off the wall, putting on his shaft, and heading to the woods without shooting.

MCH Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Re: spitfires and wasp jackhammers mech. Spitfires all the way. Not to particularly proud of their customer service, but their product is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoyt03 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Re: spitfires and wasp jackhammers mech. spitfires work great for me b/c they fly like my field tips, so I can hit where I aim and they open a nice hole. Its what I plan on using for years to come. I shoot 63 lbs out of my hoyt with beman ics 340's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
