Default Spitfires?

has anyone had any experience with the wal mart spitfires because im am really hurting for broadheads.I only have one good muzzy left and i was thinking of getting a 3 pack just in case i would need a follow up shot. Don't worry my bow is properly tuned so the will maybe i should say should hit in the same place. Do you think they will be alright as a back up just in case? because i dont plan on using them as my primary but as a "just in case"? I have enough KE for them, and i plan on getting some good ones for next year

By Walmart spitfires do you mean NAP Spitfires from New Archery Products? NAP Spitfires are an excellent mechanical broadhead. I wouldn't hesitate to use them. The Walmart near me sells them for 30 bucks for 3.

I have used spitfires and they perform excellent on deer. I had excellent results with them but I still like a muzzy as they are recommended over mechanicals for bear and elk andI hunt these too soI take muzzys on all of my hunts.I do use the spitfire gobbler getter on turkeys though. HCH

Spitfires are a great head. They fly straight and put a big hole in the deer.
I've used them for years and never had a problem. You will not be
disappointed.

I have never shot Spitfires but a friend of mine uses them and loves them. I can tell you he took two nice bulls on our Caribou hunt this year and them heads did some incredible damage. I have been bowhunting over 25 years and have never seen broadheads open a animal up like these.

Heres a look at one of his bulls

This bull was taken at 43 yards and didnt walk one step.

well i bought some a few minutes ago and i just got done shooting them and I was impressed, They are really sharp way sharper than my muzzys. Hopefully I'll get a shot at one tommorow, with some blood trail pics.I am not expecting to get pass thrus now but with the 1 1/2 inch cut i think it'll do enough damage
