I' ve used then with 100% sucess rate. Killed 5 deer with as many shots with htem. Blood trails are unbelievable. Seem to fly good to me. I shoot ACC 3-60' s with 4" feathers and right helical.

RE: who uses those spitfire mech. broadheads?
My experience hasn' t been as good as thoose mentioned above with the spitfire. I think the new Scorpion that NAP just came out with is a big improvement. I also think the NAP Shockwave is a better head. Of course this is my experience, I always say buy a couple of packs of various heads, shoot them, and then make up your mind.
My biggest problem was penetration which seemed to be a byproduct of their blade retention system. I know 5 Shot has done tests on them and found similar results. I will say this, the quality of the product is A+ as most things NAP puts out are. I do know a lot of people who swear by them so that is a very positive thing. I do think the Scorpion looks like a winner and I would look at it first out of the NAP mechanicals.

I havew heard great things about all the NAP broadheads as well. I posted something on the best blood trail and with out a doubt the spitfires won by far so it won' t be a tough decision of what broadhead to shoot next year.

Excellent broadheads!!! They' re about thirty bucks for three and well worth it. They have an inch and a half cutting diameter and are strong and sharp. And yes, they do fly like field points!

10 kills with the Spitfires. 8 of the 10 fell within sight. The other two left a very good blood trail. Easy to follow in the dark with not a very good flashlight.
They fly exactly like my field points.
