Using NAP Spitfires for the first time this year- 100gr head, 405gr arrow @ 290fps. They shoot right with my field tips to 50 yards. I have killed 2 buck & 2 doe with them so far this season & I am AMAZED at the wounds they cause. Used one head to kill 3 deer just replacing blades until the 3rd deer bent the head just minimally in breaking the arrow. A real poor gut shot buck went 150 yards & was left overnight. He was icy cold inside when I found him in the AM, so he expired soon after getting shot. I don't believe I would have recovered this deer with my smaller fixed blades heads.The 3 other properly hit deer all fell in sight within 35-45 yards. The best hunters I know were using Spitfires & now I know why! As far as "no rubber bands" some makers say that about their heads but they still use rubber bands in the form of rubber "O" rings jammed in at the blade hinges. All rubber can harden in the cold, soften in heat & deteriorate in the heat & sun over time.The Spitfire uses a real metal leaf spring that is immune to those problems. Put them away at season end & come next season they are 100% the same, no dried out rubber nonsense to annoy you. I can't say enough about the Spitfire. I know a guy who has killed over 100 deer them & never had one fail in any way. If he stops hunting now, I can tie him with only 96 more Spitfire kills :-)
Good luck!
