I started using them this past spring for turkey season, but I have yet to put one through an animal.

So I cant tell you how they perform, but I will be using them this fall.

I've got a couple of those in my quiver. Last year I got a turkey with it and a doe. It left a great trail for me, and it wasn't the best shot. It did its job though.

I have found these to be very effective broadheads. I have shot a couple deer with these and have yet to have one run over 50 yards. The last buck I shot withone was spraying nearly five feet out each side for the first 20 yards or so. Of course, shot placement is key, but if you putthem there, I have found they will do very well. Others might disagree, but that is my experience with them.

i couldnt get them to shoot accurately so i didnt use them but they look like sweet heads

i have never used them but they look like a great head to use. but any fixed blade usually does the trick try the rage though they work great. even if you are sceptical about using mechs they are awesome

when they first came out they were pretty much "junk" over the last 5 years they have made improvements to the point that right now, in my opinion they are one of the top replaceable fixed blade heads on the market. They are strong, accurate, penetrate well and reasonably sharp. I would recomend them to anyone wanting to give them a try.

I love them them. I have taken a half dozen deer w/ them over the past 2 seasons and all have gone no farther than 70 yards.
They inflict so much damage to the area they hit, that you always have an incredible blood trai. Any bh will do the job if you hit the animal right, but it is devastating w/ the CTs. Also, if you do make a marginal hit, the damage is so severe that your recovery odds drastically increase. I have helped trail several gut shot deer w/ the CTs and none of them wen more than 75 yards... and they bled well.
I swear by the Crimson Talon XTs. I have never used any of the Spintite's other products, but give these an A+...
BUT, don't plan on reusing them. The curved blades generally get pretty well beat up after hitting bone.
