Just purchased a Mathews Outback last week and looking to find a good fixed blade broadhead that flies straight. I was looking at the NAP Nitron, NAP Crossfire or Viper Venom, any suggestions or experience in the flight of these broadheads?
I shoot 65lb, Beaman ICS Hunter 400 carbon arrows 100gr and use whisker bisket.

I had my heart set on the crossfire and I could not get them to fly right. I went back to the proshop and we tried 6 different heads. Everyone of the other head flew right with my field points. The crossfires were hitting about 7 inches low at 20 yards. We spent over an hour trying different things and he finally just took the crossfires back. He contacted NAP about it 3 times but they never returned his calls. I have always been a NAP fan. I used thurderheads until this year. I just wanted to try something new and smaller. I have not heard of anyone else having this problem but then again I haven't checked into it much.

I tried several, I decided on the magnus stinger as it impacted right with the field tips and mechanicals without much additional tuning to what I had.
So when I'm on the ground I shoot those. Still when up the tree I use a mechanical.
both fly great for me..

I have Muzzy, GFK Hornet and some Crimson Talon fixed blade heads. I usually hunt with the Muzzy's but I'd be just as comfortable with either of the other two. (especially the GFK)
