RE: Trying Mechanicals
 

Try the Spitfire 100's. I shot them for 3 years, and this year I am going back to fixed blades. Nothing against the Spitfire, I just like the fixed heads better. The Spitfires are dead on accurate, and are devastating on deer. Good Luck!!!

RE: Trying Mechanicals
 

spifires or shockwaves have shot lots of deer with both and have never run more than 40 yards, but you have to watch for angled shots which can and will cause deflection. i love my muzzy's though and they shoot same as my fieldpoints with my mathews outback.

i like the spitfires

The easy way out can get you into trouble. Without knowing the details of your setup I can't recomend a mechanical head for you. I do suggest you go to www.broadheadtests.com and read the mech vs fixed as well as the tuning sections. That will help you decide more than anything.

I wouldn't say that going to mechanicals is the lazy way out. I switched from wasp fixed blades to wasp jak-hammers last year and it was the best move I'd made as far as an equipment upgrade in years. They cost a bit more but were very accurate and deadly. I took 2 bucks from my stand at steep angles and both dropped within 50 yards. Good Huntin........

RE: Trying Mechanicals
 

I think the steelhead is supposed to penetrate about as well as a fixed blade...

this year in my huinting quiver i am trying 3 different mechanicals that all fly the same for me -- 2 spitfire 100's, 1 steelhead 100, and 1 mini max 3

I have a ton of extras, but I am going to try all these out and and see what I would like to use more permanently...

RE: Trying Mechanicals
 

Been shooting them for a while now, really great broadhead!;)

RE: Trying Mechanicals
 

I shoot spitfires and they are extremely accurate and fly just like my field points. I haven't shot a deer with them yet but two friends stuck turkeys with them and they worked phenomenally.

RE: Trying Mechanicals
 

i know how you feel trailblazer. i to have a busy schedule and i love my rockets u don't need to tune them u just put them and go they fly like your field points. i don't think i could go back a fixed braodheads agian

RE: Trying Mechanicals
 

i use to shoot spit fires but the 40 dollars for 3 kinda steered me away, just bought some shockwaves, never heard of these before, i hope they are good!

RE: Trying Mechanicals
 

$40!! Wow..I just bought some NAP 100gr Spitfire "Pro Series" for $32!

RE: Trying Mechanicals
 

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.

RE: Trying Mechanicals
 

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..

I am running Rocket Steelhead 100's also. The real question is.....straight or helical vanes?
