Default RE: Spitfire Disappointment

I used 100gr Spitfires for several years because I couldn't get fixed blades to fly right out of my Mathews LX. I was generally disappointed with their performance and lost 2 well-shot deer while using them. One was a doe that was about 10 yards, did not get a complete pass through and a very poor blood trail. The other was a buck that also was a good shot at 20 yards, weak blood trail and never found him. Am going back to 100gr Thunderheads this year and have them shooting pretty well. I did shoot a buck last year, 20 yards quartering away that left a fantastic blood trail and the deer only went about 75 yards after the shot; so it wasn't every deer that was a problem.
