RE: Spitfire mechanical broadheads??
they are great on deer, A friend that I hunt with and I use them between the 2 of us in the past 3 years of using spitfires we have sucessfully killed 8 whitetails. Out of all the kills the furthest a deer has run after being hit with a spitfire was about 15 yards that was a double lung hit on a doe, the best kill was a shoulder hit on a buck the spitfire went clean through the shoulder blade cut the asophagus in two and put a nice slice through the heart the deer folded up and fell right where it was standing, the next day the same exact broadhead that killed that buck the day before after just cleaning it up a bit it killed a nice doe. The spitfire is an extremely durable mechanical broadhead I will never use anything else. They are also awesome on a turkey.

Its pretty easy to have enough Kinetic energy to make them work properly. My friends bow shoots a little over a 400 grain carbon arrow including the 100 grain spitfire at about 250 fps and his spitfires have never failed to open. I shoot a about a 480 grain aluminum arrow including a 100 grain spitfire at about 240 fps I have never had a spitfire fail to open. I think aslong as you shoot a bow with a draw weight of atleast 40 lbs and a arrow and broad head combined weight of 350 grains should produce more then enough kinetic energy to 40 yards for the spitfire to open and operate properly.

I'm with the crowd! I have taken 4 deer, 2 turkey and a coyote with them and all have gone down quickly. I've never had one fail to open and they fly great for me. The only thing I don't like about them is the price!! They run about 30 bucks for a three-pak around here.[:@]
