Nitron.

That tip isn't any more sharp or dull than any other tip on the market (blades excepted). It certainly isn't any more dull than the crossfire tip. It is designed that way to push bone out of the way for the blades. The nitron is 100% steel and a heck of a lot stronger than a crossfire and they cut a bigger hole then their size would indicate.

Personally I don't like gimmicky stuff on a boradhead. I like steel over aluminum, I like a head with no moving parts, and I like a head with very sharp baldes.

I do like the Nitron, But I have never held one in my hand, thus the reason for me being skeptical of the sharpness of the tip.

I would go Crossfire because I can't stand the tip on the Nitron. Looks dull.

how could you say one is dull but the other isnt? they look like the same tip to me pretty much.

On the Nitron the tip is "rounded" on the sides, whereas the Crossfire has "grooves" inside the tip. I've seen both in person, but haven't been able to take any out of the box. ;)

I would think thosedimples along with "spin tabs" would cause drag and friction, slowing your arrow down, espically upon impact. I think a 3 blade Muzzy or Monotec would be a better choice.

Either head is a good choice if you want to go with a 3 blade.

NAP has always made quality Broadheads!:D

Does anybody on this site actually use a product befoer they bash it or try to sell it.

OutdoorRy.. The nitron is a great head. It is tough and very accurate.

But I would never reccomend it to a young or rookie hunter. It simply doesn't leave a great blood trail.. and without that you could really get frustrated and quit on a trail much quicker than you should.

I would strongly reccomend a head that leaves a better blood trail.. perhaps one thats similiar in size but adds an extra blade.. a muzzy or a slicktrick perhaps.

The nitron is almost ideal for you. It penetrates very well, is super sharp, very durable and accurate. It is always one of the heads I recommed for bowhunters using lower KE equipment.

The dimples do the exact opposite and reduce drag. I have chronoed the NAP Crossfire and it shoots as fast as my fieldpoints. To prove the dimple theory look at a golf ball, the dimples are there to reduce drag on the ball and allows it to fly better. I have used NAP crossfires for 3-4 seasons now and have nothing but positive things to say.
