Default RE: Spitfire Disappointment

I tried the 125 grain Spitfires a couple years ago and lost two does,one week apart. Both were good hits, I left the woods and came back in the morning before work.
Good blood trail at first, then petered out. I found both arrows about 30 yards down the trail. Niether were pass thru shots.
I was shooting my FX at 60 lbs.
I went back to Magnus/Nugent 2 blade and have had pass thru shots on almost every deer since.
I know people that swear by the expandables but they just didn't work well for me. I hate losing deer.
It had been about 10 years since I had lost a deer up to that point.

It will be fixed blades,cut on contact for me!
