Default Hows your broadheads. Mine are........

I just thought we need to get somthing going today..I shoot and have been shooting NAP spitfires for about 6 years now. I have not had any problems with these broadheads and tell all my friends and people I know through archery that you cant go wrong with this choice. They fly great and hit where you aim with no exceptions.... Now dont take this the wrong way. Ther may be others that can lay claim to this also. But I dont have to try them because I have the best now.... OK PEOPLE LET ME KNOW WHAT YA THINK

The reason it is in this fourm is that IBO shooters are the best shots around........... so they need to shoot the most accurate brodheads also. This might get it going

Well they worked agin tonight.. I harvested a mature doe at 27yards... I cant find the arrow, it went through so fast and burried under the snow somewhere. Both lungs and watched her go down about 62yards away.

I have always been a great lover of rockets and splitfires for 4 years, however I recently switched over to "THE REVOLUTION" by rocky mtn. These broadheads dont fold the blades back on impact like the rockets etc, they push a ferrule back that slides the blades open, you get a bigger inlet hole and a big outlet hole. You also dont have to worry about deflection on a quartered shot.However dont get me wrong there is nothing wrong with rockets or splitfires, the have made me a very happy person on several occasions.

I do not use expandables. I agree that expandables have come a long way, but in the early years I saw some poor penetration out of expandables. Recently some of my buddies have whacked some deer with the "new" expandables but I have never made the switch.

I can't see why I should. This year after about 20 years of bowhunting I am shooting the most accurate huting setup that I have ever had. The bow is a Mathews Icon, the rest is a Tiger Tuff fall away and the arrows are 2312s with 4" fletchings with a ton of helical (no contact problems with the fall away). It is scary accurate. I have only shot out to 45 yards but it is on. AND... the broadheads hit in the exact spot as the field points. That never happens for me.

I am only shooting 250fps but I shot through a hog the other week and buried up to the fletching in the dirt so no problem with penetration.

Good hunting folks.

Hey Brian ..... dont fix what is not broke is a great idea!!!! But what broadheads are you using? I set my bow up in early September to go hog hunting and Thought I needed a fixed blade. I was able to get the Wasp SST 90 grain to shoot great and group out to 60 yards but they did not hit in the same spot as my field points.. but were scary accurate also. I did not shoot a hog , however I watched my Son shoot a hog at 35 yards. That arrow looked like it never slowed down as it passed through.That was with Spitfires also. I shoot a Hoyt Cybertec @ 62# and a NAP 3000 rest with Beman 400 hunter arrows, this setup gives me 286fps @29". OH yea I went back to the Spitfires after the Hog hunt.. Yes I agree in the earyl days of dreaded Punchcutter broadheads the penetration was a big problem.

I've taken a ton of deer with Muzzy 125 grains. Hunted with them for years. A few years back I did some research and switched to 100 grain Spitfires. I've taken four deer in three years and I'm sold. They went through like a lazer beam and left a HUGE trail. Accurate too.

Yep... well I went hunting yesterday in a blizzard here in northeast Ohio, I live in the snowbelt area.... and those Spitfires worked agin.. You know I was thinking in my tree stand about I wonder if they might freeze in place and cause a problem!! It was snowing and blowing sometimes ice balls. I was concerned about the blades sticking... Well after last night, I will not even worry about that any more. I harvested a nice 8 point at 25 yards and they worked as good as if it was 45 deg. He went about 60 yards and ran out of hot air at that point. After field dressing, I checked the other broadheads in my quiver to see if they were frozen. No problems there eather. However my Dry Plus was snow,ice covered so much it looked like snow camo......
