NAP spitfires 85 gr.
 
i tryed these new heads in 2001 and took 4 out of 5 deer i shot. i was very impressed with the acurate performance. the only draw back was the high price.

You said that you took 4 out of 5 deer shot at. What happened to the 5th deer, was it wounded or did you miss?

I tried them and really liked the way they shot, I just did not have enough bow to use them. I didn't get a pass thru with a perfect broadside shot at 18 yards. Other than that they worked like advertised. Very accurate, opened like they were supposed to, and left a nice hole the size of a quarter all the way to the heart. Just don't try them with a 26" draw and under 50 pounds of Ke.

Congrats on the deer.

I also shoot 85gr. Spitfires and I killed 4 deer this year and not one ran over 70-80 yards after being shot.

King William, the 5th deer i shot her thru the right shoulder broadside at 25 yards. the arrow went in at the top of the shoulder at a downward angle. the arrow lodged against the left shoulder blade and did'nt pass thru. after 2 hours that night and 2 hours the next mornig of tracking i was unable to find the deer. but i did find 14 inches of broken arrow with fleching 15 yards from where she was shot. let me say that i was not actually blood tracking this deer, because there was no blood to track. i was actually scanning the woods in a 500 yard area looking for this deer. i could'nt find a drop after 15 yards where i found the piece of arrow. it was i the deer vanished.

Now im using the 100 grain spitfires but I havent shot anything with them yet. Im shooting 70 pounds with a 28 1/2" draw so i would say i got enough KE.
