Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

My bows draw back weight is low 50's. Is the NAP nitron or crossfire brodheads good for me, or can i go bigger?

Need more info...weight of arrow, weight of broadhead, draw length etc.

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

The Nitron is a very good choice! It is a solid well built head.

I am sure you could also get by with a 1" 4 blade head. They do some damage. My wife shot completely through a deer with a 1" 4 blade, and she shoots 40#;)

NAP Nitron would be a good head for you. I personally like the NAP Crossfire better though.

Buyer's Guide
[/align][/align][/align]With its superior penetration and incredible flight characteristics, the Crossfire is a fixed-blade broadhead that flies like a field point with absolutely no loose blades. The three tapered razor-honed blades are fixed on a one-piece, 440 stainless steel cartridge that rotates around the ferrule and is easy to replace. These broadheads are designed with Rotating Head Technology, which allows the broadhead to rotate with the arrow in flight and then rotate to allow it to take the path of least resistance. Screw in the super-sharp, six-sided nickel-plated point and the cartridge is locked down securely. The patented dimples on the cartridge reduce air resistance by keeping air from sticking to the ferrule. And downrange stability is improved by blade winglets that optimize stability and accuracy, and spin the arrow faster. The blades are .040" at base and taper to .027" at the start of cutting edge. Per 3.
Available: 100-grain, 125-grain.
Cutting diameter: 1-1/8".

so crossfire or nitron??

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

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

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

i thought you were getting muzzy

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

no

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

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.

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

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

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.

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

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

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

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. ;)

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

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.

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

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

NAP has always made quality Broadheads!:D

Im going with the NAP NITRON!

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

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.

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

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.

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

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.

racewayking: do you get alot of blood ?

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

dukemichaels: have you ever used the nitron, is it really that bad?

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

If I remember correctly Duke uses the 125gr. Nitrons, MECHDOC also uses the 100gr. Nitrons. They flay great and penetration is no issue, the wil blow through a deer with a well placed shot.

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

I have shot about seven deer since using them and only had one go beyond 100 yards. That deer was shot at last light and I had to come back in the morning to find him because I had a branch deflect my shot and I didn't want to push him. I did find some dried blood but considering the hit I really couldn't assess. I would say there are broadheads out there that might make bigger exit holes and show more blood but I love the Nitrons and Crossfires and have had no reason to switch from what works.

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

I do use them.. have for the last 2 seasons.

Don't get me wrong I love them. But with that said.. and the deer I have taken with them.. there were some very bad blood trails on superb shots.

They just lack that extra blade I think. If they were available in a 4 blade they would be money.

A little 3 blade like the Nitron makes a minor surfice area cut.. a 4 blade about the same size makes a hole. Big difference.

I just think that as a new"er" hunter you would probably want a little better blood trail to follow. It will cut down on your frustration.. as it will be some of your first times EVER blood trailing an animal.

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

duke: well i've lost my fair share of blood trails in rifle already and it is THE most frustrating thing in the world...

RE: Is NAP nitron brodheads good for me?
 

With a WELL Placed BH, low in the vitals, keep in mind where the HEART really is, not where the 10 and 11 spots are on 3D targets, a WELL (alternate word "perfectly") placed arrow to me it at about the level of the top of the heart, MOST deer will not run over 100yds. That being said, anything that is UP in the cavity is not going to yield as good of a blood trail, whether your shooting a 3" Expandable, or a 1" Fixed, if you get high in the cavity, you end up with more blood filling the chest cavity, rather than on the ground. Nitrons are not a bad BH at all, nor are MOST heads on the market. The tip on the Nitron as was mentioned, is designed to bust through bone, and being hooded over the blades like it is, in some manner protect the blades. I haven't taken any deer with them, but they would seem sufficient as long as the shot is where it's supposed to be. I love this diagram, because it does such a nice job of showing guys where stuff REALLY is in a deer. NOTE how high the SHOULDER BLADE really is!!!! If you cant get and arrow through the blade, it's ok, because you SHOULDN'T be shooting THAT DAMNED high anyhow!!!!
