How do/did you like them? Are the holes they make as big as they say?

I love them. I've been able to just about put my entire fist through an exit wound.

I'm not a mechanical guy, but I have used several in the past. I prefer my broadheads to cut on impact versus having to open. The Spitfire XP Pros would be the best way to go if you have your heart set on shooting them.

It's not like it was a few years ago. There are several quality heads on the market. I do think Slick Tricks are the best fixed blade on the market all things considered Flight, Toughness, Sharpness,and Awesome holes.

I have used ST's since 03 and my experience with them has been nothing but good. Gary has made improvements on them every year.

They fly real well. Only real issue is that it takes a certain amount of KE away from the impact to open the blades. Non issue if you are shooting a heavier pull weight, but they would not be my first choice for a 50 lb. bow.

I have used Spitfire heads in the past and they leave one hell of a gaping hole, that's for sure!

yeper sure did. I through my spitfires in the trash, had a good but bad experience with them. Killed the buck, no pass through double lung, all 3 blades closed upon retrieval. Snagged a trig/branch with another one, broke the blade, blade came back and sliced the aluminum arrow at the feathers. Flew nice though. Maybe it was just me.
