Never used NAP. I started with Muzzy some 14 years ago. Havent switched!!! The only thing ive changed is last year i went to the Muzzy MX-3 because they fly better then the orginals out of my bow. Muzzy's have taken down countless deer for me.

I highly recommend Rocky Mountain Ironheads, especially for a beginner. They fly exactly like field points so you wont have to worry about tuning or re-sighting issues. I have never shot the Nightmare broadheads but I have used thunderheads and always had to adjust from field points. With the ironheads you get accuracy plus penetration andgood blood trails. They are very similar to the NAP nitron.

I have a website devoted to broadhead testing and Every NAP head I have tested has been good to excellent. The Nightmare is in my opinion the best broadhead NAP has ever made.

Muzzy 100g 3-blade here. I switched to these after using Thunderheads for a little while. I never liked how the Thunderheads had to be screwed onto the arrow in order for the blades to stay on. I like how the Muzzy blades interlock and then are held together via the screw-on tips. Never felt a need to change from the Muzzy's.

I did try some NAP spitfire mechanical heads once but I absolutely hated them. I've essentially sworn off mechanical heads.

Nothing on the smoke heads. I will look into getting a pack for testing. I had them on the list last year, but they were not out yet. I am running into the same problem with some of the theads I want to test this year as well.

I like to use Slick Tricks when I need a fixed head, but Hypershocks get the mechanical nod!!
