i was wondering if you had tested the new crossfire broadheads by NAP and if they were better and worth the extra money than the thunderheads.

thanks,

5 shot, a while ago I think I read a report you did on the new Wasp Boss Bullet 100's. Where can I find it. If I'm mistaken, have you tested it or will you in the near future? Thanks!

I have both the cross fire and Nitron on my desk now waiting to be tested. Both look very good, but I won't know till I run them through. Here is a copy of the boss bullet tests

WASP BOSS BULLET 100 GRN

Plywood: 5 points

Steel drum: 6 points

Tire: 4 points

Cutting diameter: 2 points

Blades: 3 points

Accuracy: 5 points

Non-Mechanical head: 2 points

Total score: 27 with a blade sharpness rating of B-

Plywood: full penetration, no damage.
Steel drum: full penetration of BOTH sides, no damage.
Tire: full penetration, no damage.

The Wasp Boss bullet is a smaller three blade broadhead designed for accuracy and penetration. I found that it accomplished both tasks easily. Accuracy was excellent with the head shooting and grouping right with my field points at all ranges, even out of a bow that was not perfectly tuned. The penetration and durability were outstanding. This head fully penetrated every material, including both sides of the steel drum and remained undamaged throughout the tests. The blade sharpness was adequate at best. They would shave hair but it did take some effort. Bottom line, the Wasp Boss Bullet is an outstanding broadhead. It won’t leave the huge gaping holes of some of the larger mechanical heads but it will shoot almost as accurately and penetrate better. I would consider this head an excellent choice for those needing to maximize penetration as well as for the bowhunter that needs an accurate head for high speed setups.

I have tested the crossfire and nitron from NAP. I will have the results up this weekend some time. Suffice to say though that if you are wanting to give them a try, they both are great broadheads.
