RE: NAP Spitfire Experiences and Entry Holes
ORIGINAL: 5 shot Overall I like the spitfires but I feel you need to be pushing over 60 ft/lbs of Ke to get the most out of them. Of all the mechanical heads I have tested the spittfires are one of the best in terms of quality of construction. Performance wise they are right in the middle of the pack. I have some of the Rocket 3 LT 85 gr. heads, but they advise using 2 rubber bands when shooting over 300 fps. I do not want to use 2 rubber bands, as I don'tthink they don't open that quickly when only using one. The Spitfires have sharper blades too. |

RE: NAP Spitfire Experiences and Entry Holes
Here is an exit hole with my NAP spitfire 100 grainers...
Always pass through on deer ...I'm shooting 65 pounds going about 270 fps out of my Hoyt. I left 2 bears dead in 20-30 yards with these too....Great head!..lots of kills with mine... Go for it!  |

I think if I were you, I'd ante up and get the 100gr heads, that would get your FOC around 12% guestimating, which should give you a little better arrow flight, and you'll still have plenty of WHACK when it gets there. Actually, you may bring a little extra KE upping your set-up 15gr. Just my thoughts though... |

RE: NAP Spitfire Experiences and Entry Holes
I've taken a couple of antelope and a couple of deer with them. They worked well for me. No complaints. They all opened and left a good exit hole.
