Default Grim Reaper Vs. Spitfire

I have decided to try a new mechanical broadhead and I have narrowed the field down to either the Grim Reaper or the NAP Spitfire.

If anyone has some feedback on these 2 broadheads, then I would like to hear it.

Both are very good heads. The spitfires are stronger, the grimreapers open faster and penetrate better. As long as you have at least 55 ft/lbs of bow energy and a well tuned bow I think both will work very well on deer size game.

I've read a lot about both of these heads. I don't know which one to go with. I think I may go with the grimreapers only because of people saying that they open quicker and penetrate better!

I was told to steer clear of the Grim Reapers by a local pro shop. I originally was worried about penetration with Spitfires , but I have blown easily through most of the deer I've shot. This year I actually passed through a shoulder and broke the spine on a nice buck with a Spitfire(he was trying to duck my arrow). I have a friend who also uses Spitfires and has taken some deer and a nice black bear with them,all pass throughs. I shoot about 75# of KE , he shoots about 62# .Spitfires are the sharpest broadheads I have purchased out of the package(I've tried many) and the bloodtrails are awesome.Hope that is some help.

I have Both sitting here right in front of me ! hmmmmmm , be honest I like the Grim Reapers, to me they look stronger. To my understanding it does not take a powerfull bow to penitrate, a under weight bow will pass through with these heads...BT
