    Well ive been thinking about making the switch over to expandables from the wasp fixed blade broadheads ive been using. Im wanting something thats almost as accurate as my fixed blades but everything ive shot just isnt that accurate. Whats everyone shooting or reccomend when theyre hunting whitetail? Ive been hearing a lot of good things about NAPs but havent had time to check them out. I tried out redheads gator expandables last year and they were garbage.

    This year I'm shooting both Killzones & Hellrazors. I've been shooting Rages & Killzones since I started bowhunting, but elected to add a strong fixed blade to my arsenal this season.

    If your a fixed blade guy like me you'll probably never be satisfied with expandable broadheads but if you want to try some try G5s T3 head an grim reaper both have alot of people that swear by them

    Nap killzone an spitfire series heads hands down. Quit messing around an try them out. They are both a very well made, an very durable head. You won't be disappointed!!

    Really haven't liked the Rage much, not very durable. I'm planning on shooting the KillZone Trophy tips this season. The season can't come fast enough.

    Most people would say a mechanical would be more accurate than a fixed, but I guess that could depend on what mechanical.

    I shoot the Red Head Gator and it flies just like a field tip. Rear-deploying,free-floating blades. Best part is no o-rings. And $10 cheaper than all the other mechanicals

    Yeah the gators just didnt fly well for me, I picked up some NAP today but didnt get to shoot them a lot of people swear by them so hopefully they work out. I shoot wasp broadheads and they shoot just like field points but lack that take down power.

    Why in the hell would you want to shoot something that is ALMOST as accurate as what you're shooting now? I'd stick with the wasp fixed blades. I've shot the wasp sst hammers for over 15 years. I don't plan on switching anytime soon.

    If it ain't broke don't fix it. But, if you do want to switch to the expandable heads I have been happy with my NAP spitfires.

    I am a Rage man. I have been shooting them since they hit the market and I have had nothing but success with them.

    I got out today and put some nap killzone maxx broadheads in the air. I was impressed with the flight from 20 and 30 yards, Not much of a change over my wasp. Ill more than likely try them out Oct-1st.
