NAP Crossfire Review
I had a chance to try out the NAP Crossfires on opening day here in PA. Had a Doe, about 35 yards, that stayed around 1 sec. too long. The deer was quartered slightly toward me. Arrow went through the shoulder bone/blade, and continued it's journey through the boiler room. Did not pass completely through (I didn't expect it to with what it went through at that distance), but ended up in the opposite far rib. Head still works like new, and still sharp as a razor. I would highly recommend these heads. They are a little $$$, but i can't complain. They fly like a dream from my bow (shooting around 300fps), and they got the job done. Deer went 35 yds.

I tried them last year and they dropped like rocks (8" lower at 20 yards). Every other broadhead and my field points shot fine. The shop owner could not explain it and took them back. I was thinking it was a tuning issue but we tried 5 other heads and they all flew great. I think they look great and I wish they would have worked from my bow. Glad to hear they preformed so well.

From what I have seen of the Crossfire (my best friend uses them), I am incredibly impressed and I will probablly be shooting them next year. The Crossfires shoot like darts out of his bow and group exactly with his field points (the bow needs to be properly tuned) and they did great on the huge bodied buck he shot with it last year, full pass thru and stuck over a foot into the hard ground on the otherside of him. In my opinion this is probablly the best fixed blade head I have seen so far. It is tougher than the Thunderheads, is sharper than G5 Montecs, and it shoots better than Muzzy's.

Any clue as to why? Do you think you just got a bad production set or was it something specific with your setup?

RE: NAP Crossfire Review
Hey guys,
I never did find out why. Maybe it was just a bad batch like you said. I did shoot several different heads that worked great. I used Rocky Mountain last year. This year I am shooting Slick Tricks and they too are shooting right with the field points. I have not done anything to the bow since last year. Was a bad year getting divorced and all. I will be replacing cables this winter so I will have to retune everything. Sorry I can't be of more help to you as to what the problem was. I sure would like to know myself. I think they look like a real nice head. Just didn't fly from my setup.
