MrFishy.......there is a lot to learn in Bowhunting and reading peoples success or failure ...is tricky business. PAbowhunter is dead on and that has much more to due with the stories than the actual broadheads. Spitfires are extremely tough, very dependable, unbelievably sharp(especially compared to any Rocket), and give a great bloodtrail . But like any of them.......your bow has to be tuned, your KE adequate, and your shot placement on ..........if you do that your in business.......if not.......well you can have the best fixed blade on the market and be sitting here typing a post about how they don't work !!
