Fastfire,

No bashing taken. This x-bow is rated @ 345 fps with 125fp of ke. It has a 15.5" powerstroke and shoots a 22" arrow. This is just a few inches shorer than the arrows I shoot out of my bow.
I have 3 dense foam targets bolted together and the field tip still comes out the back an 1" or so. Getting them out of the target is another story.

Alot of guys are using the Spitfires in their x-bows and love them. These were the first mech. heads I had ever used. I tried them because they are suppoed to fly like a pratice tip. The tip may have been open when it hit the deer because it sounded like I slammed her with a 2X4.
Have never had a problem with my RB5's. Just that they stoppped making them years ago. Can still find them on ebay NIB. I have a few boxes of them left so I'm good for now.

Happy New Years to All and>>>>>>>>>>>Hap py Hunting!!!!
