i know it aint the rockets, but the Grim Reaper seem to be working for me, granted it's my first year with them but i have heard a lot of good things about 'em. but i shot them, and each arrow shot the same as it did with a field point good luck ($35 for 3 i think it was)

Spitfires work great on deer as long as you have the KE/Momentum
to use them. As 5 shot said we need more info. on your set-up
before we can suggest one to use.

When you shoot mechanicals out of a untuned setup you can't really get the full potential out of the broadhead. Mechanicals work a lot better when shot out of a tuned setup.

Not any different than a fixed blade they work the best when you take the time to tune them to the bow..
