Default Tru-Fire Switchblades

all i can say is WOW! my uncle shoots a DXT at 65 lbs and shot a 225 pound boar too far foward in the shoulder, the arrow passed all the way thru the middle of both shoulders and stuck out the far side of the bear. the outfitter had never seen anything like this.......I didnt know how they would do at first but man o man, these broadheads are going to be on my arrows this upcoming deer season.......has anyone else used these broadheads and if so, what are your likes and dislikes???

I'll have to buy a 6 pack and try!!!...looking them up on ebay right now!!!

I'll send some love out to NAP for a few of my bear kills...

I left 2 bears doing the death cry and dead at 20 yards with the NAP spitfire XP's 100gr.

I'm only running about 266fps with my Hoyt and my stubby arms..

I got to tell you I have test a lot of broadheads and recently tried the switchblades. They were not very good at all compapred to a lot of other heads in the same price range. I have a full review on the subscribers side of my website, but I personaly wouldn't waist my money on them. Sure they will kill game, but they Rob you of penetration potential and are not very durable at all.
