I want to try mechanical broadheads this fall, and I've been led to believe NAP makes the best (yes, I'm sure there is no lack of debate there), however, when I look at their website they make 17 different mechanical broadheads. Good grief?!?! I'm using a compound bow between 60-65 lbs of draw and hunting whitetail. What are the best blades for this? Spitfire? Kill Zone? 3 blade? 2 blade? Any suggestions and reasons why would be appreciated! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
This conversation never goes away. I write the same thing every other week at least. I shoot a 61 lbs, 28.5" draw length. I used mechanicals for the first time last year. Spitfire Maxx's 100 gr. Loved them! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Good compromise in wound channel and penetration. Factory sharp. Fly with my field points. Dependable opening and staying closed on flight. Readily available. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thank you for responding. When you say "Fly with my field points" are you saying they fly the same? You don't need to make any adjustments to your sights? Ideally, that's an additional thing I'd prefer in the broadheads I chose - no need to practice with the because they fly the same. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
The short answer is "yes". I swapped out the blades in my Spitfire Maxx's for "practice" blades that do not deploy on impact. After doing so, I didn't notice an appreciable difference in impact point with my setup and skill level out to 40 yards. A friend of mine ha told me so, but I had to be sure about it by going through the exercise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Sorry I'm a little late to the show but I picked up some NAP Killzones last year after my friend told me about them and he swears up and down about them. He mentioned he took 4 whitetail with a 60# bow and 2 mule deer with them Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I have used the spitfire maxes as well as the killzones love them both! the killzone was a little easier to tune for me but both put animals down quickly and with great blood trails!
My Maxx's flew with my field points last year. Performed excellent. I picked up a pack of Killzones because of the hype, but I'm skeptical about such a long ferrule and long 2-blade design - breakage and lack of penetration. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I put a killzone right through the front brisket of a yote and the blades were fine! on a whitetail I have hit a shoulder and gotten zero penetration so that would be my only negative! The accuracy was spot on zero tuning needed for me. Here is the yote footage
I've shot the Spitfire double cross...Killed a buck last year and a turkey this spring with the same head. In practice it has been a very accurate head which hits same spot as my field points. I did make a poor shot on the buck last fall, as I was leaning way out on my climber at an awkward angle and ended up hitting him back a ways. I barely clipped the back of one lung, right through his liver and stomach. The broadhead worked perfectly with a big entrance wound and a huge exit wound. Arrow passed through and hung up on opposite side on fletching. I found my arrow and I saw dark blood so let him lay for 4 hours...After that I followed a steady blood trail ~200-250 yards right to a dead buck. I have no idea if they're any better than the killzone or Spitfire but they work for me. They'll be in my quiver again this season.
