Default RE: mechanical broadheads

I used spitfires for quite a few years (85 grains) and never had any complaints with them. I got caught up in the hype about the latest and greatest and bought half a dozen 3 blade 100gr Rage heads. I killed a couple of deer with them last year, but didn't like the hassel of constantly checking the blades to make sure the hadn't deployed before shooting. In all fairness, they left great bloodtrails. I switched to the Grim Reapers about half-way through the season. I shot a nice fat doe at about 25 yards and the arrow ended up sticking into the ground about 12 inches deep on the other side of her. They also left a great blood trail. I loved my spitfires, but I thinkthe grim reapers are a little better.

My choice would be:

1. Grim Reaper
2. Spitfires
3. Rage

I have heard the 2 blade Rage is better about the blades staying closed than the 3 blades are.

If you go with Grim Reapers, don't forget to pick up some body bags.
