NAP sent me out some DS Spitfires prior to the holidays and I was able to take two does with them in December. They worked well. last week I did a little testing with the Spitfires in my basement. My setup has over 100# KE so I am tough on BH's and arrows. I used the same BH that killed the deer. I was shooting through 3/4" plywood. First shot blasted through and stuck into target about 8" and looked fine, blades were not bent at all. Second shot was at a 45 degree angle from 10 feet, again it blasted through and looked fine. However, when spun, there was a slight wobble. Ferrule was bent a little. Third shot went through again from straight on. Blades looked fine, but this time, the ferrule broke at the thread. I suspect it was because it was bent. Overall though, I was very impressed with the strength. I have some new DS Thunderhead Razors on the way to test. I may use them on a big bear hunt this spring in N. Sask.
