See .......that right there is your problem and mis-information.........resulting in you unknowingly mis-leading others !! I have used Spitfires for years and shot about 7 deer with them and they always leave a bullet hole on entry. The blades have never opened completely for me on impact......but always open and cut internally!

What happened to your buddy is .......the blades opened about a 1/2" under the hide and killed the deer as they' re supposed to .....when the arrow came out the blades closed........but I' ll bet anything that if you closely examined the internal organs....they were cut full width and if you really examined the blades they would have shown blood and some flesh imbedded in the slots.....letting you know they fully opened after entry. If they wouldn' t have opened the slots would' ve been clean and there would have been no blood on the inside of the blades. If you guys didn' t take something and scrape out the blade slots in the ferrule you would probably never know if there was tissue imbedded in them!

I think you guys made a snap judgement , based on what you saw ......but it is incorrect IMO. The moral to the story is .....that Spitfires do take some energy and perform as they should.....but if you don' t get an exit hole.....your not going to see much blood because Spitfires don' t get a good entry hole. Some broadheads are much better at giving a big entry wound(like a Snyper or a Hammerhead)....but I have never used a head that put deer down as well and gave as good of a bloodtrail as a Spitfire 3 blade , on a good shot, with a passthrough !! But I shoot 70+lbs of KE and always get passthroughs unless I hit heavy bone....like a shoulder or leg bone!!
