    Do replacement blades come with the correct tools (allen head, maybe tiny wrench) to remove the old blades and tip? The tip screw seems to be smaller than my .050 allen wrench? just curious if anyone has replaced the blades on these yet.

    Yep it comes with little tools to change out the blades. I had to change a set and it was fairly easy to change them.

    IMHO, ditch the old broadhead and replace the entire thing. Each deer deserves its own broadhead. But, I can totally understand replacing blades if finances require

    With all due respect... That's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Sorry but last I checked the blades are what kill the deer... not the ferrule... I can understand if the ferrule is damaged, but aside of that... I don't care if I'm High on the Hog, I would still replace blades over buying new heads all together. But that's JMHO. :D

    oly44- COC, it's a very small allen head screw.

    I hate to disagree but with NAP mechanicals there is some merit to possibly replacing the whole head instead I just the blade. The tension...fins maybe ? That hold the blade in place during flight...inside the ferrule will over time get worn, now I don't know if the kill zones are the same as the spitfires ...but I have seen it in well used spitfires. I am talking about a bunch of shots before this happens.

    As for each deer getting their own new Broadhead... Well that's kinda silly. This year i have a 390 Acc that I killed my Ohio buck with, sharp quartering away shot no pass though( angle was way to quartering so you wouldn't have wanted it passing though) the deer went about 75 yards...
    I cleaned the arrow and Broadhead spin tested it. The serrated blades were still razor sharp, no damage to the arrow or broad head. Fast forward a week later and last day of NY bow season I put that same arrow though a NY 8 point... That arrow and Broadhead is back in my quiver and will be the first one knocked when I start hunting CT this week.
