    Cant decide between the killzone maxx or spitfire xxx. Shooting Matthews creed xs 28.5/70lbs. Any advice? I've heard great things about both.

    I shot the Spitfire Maxx w/ my Creed for years w/ terrific results. I watched (or heard) almost every deer or bear die... all short tracking jobs.
    I personally like the 3 blades more than the 2. I will most likely be going to Spitfire XXX once I finish up my stockpiled Maxx'. Same thing... only a bit bigger..

    I personallly like the blade deployment design of the Killzone over the Spitfire.. I shot 3 deer this year with the Killzone Maxx, and I am super impressed! Monster holes, entrance and exit, and great blood trails on all three. Needless to say, I'll be shooting them again this year.

    I love shooting the spitfires. I have never used a killzone, but all of my buddies who use them swear by them. I think you are good either way.

    Go with Grim Reapers. They are amazing and fly straight. I have used kill zones, but unless you have a heavy grain arrow, I think you better use something that has a little cut on contact.

    I had the same experience with my Spitfire last week while bear hunting. Recovery was just 15 yards from where I shot it. Great broadhead!

    Shoot both and see which ones you like! I personally used the killzones last year and had great results on turkeys and deer but I tried to shoot a hog with one and it didn't open up so I'm probably going back to the good old reliable fixed blade! But if you are fine with taking the risk of it not opening up I would defiantly choose the killzones great wound channel and fly just like my field points! Hope this helps!
