I've very lucky with SpitFire 100gr in the past; but I'm going Bear Hunting over Bait next Spring in Canada and I'm just don't know what to do about my broadheads.
I'm very happy with the SpitFire but I dont Know if this head is enought for a Bear; since some people say that you souldn't use mech. in bears because of the tick hair.
What Do you guys Think? Should I use Mech. or Fixed ?
My setup gives me 71Ke with a 400gr arrow and 283 f/s.

I would definitely use a fixed blade for bear, the very few reliable reports I've heard of failures were on large fall bears.
I don't know which is the best, but I know if you hit a deer properly with a shockwave, they'll go less than 60yds.
I plan on trying the snyper this upcoming year, as they seem to perform the best in penetration tests, outperforming fixed blade heads in most cases.

I used the Rocky Mt. Snyper this year and took 3 deer with it. One tried to jump the string (note I said tried <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>) but I got her in the spine and she dropped right there. The buck I shot dropped about 40 yards away and the other doe about 70 yards away. The one thing I did notice was that the holes were not that big and the blood trails were not great. On the buck the blood trail was non existent so I was lucky to have seen him drop. The heads did their job, but I don't know if I will use them again.

I took this RAM last November in Texas; the shot was 55yrd long; I use a SpitFire 100gr @ 283f/s. He ran only 20yrds.
I don't Tink I would have done it with a Fixed Broadhead.

Rocket's Steelhead 100's...with 1 1/8&quot; cutting diameter unbelievable penetration. My hunting partner got a complete pass-through on his coues buck (Arizona whitetail) at 50 yards,last month.

I SWITCHED TO MECHANICALS THIS YEAR. I SHOT FOUR DEER AND KILLED FOUR WITH NAP SHOCKWAVE 100'S, BUT ONLY GOT A COMPLETE PASS THROUGH ON ONE OF THEM. I AM THINKING OF TRYING THE ROCKETS NEXT YEAR. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING BUT PRAISE CONCERNING THEM.

Which is best is not always what it seems. Everyones setup is differnt, and not all heads are made to work the same way. That said, In all of my testing, the very best mechanical broadhead I have found is the Rocky Snyper. It flys great, the blades are shaving sharp from the factory, penitration is excellent, and It is one of the fastest opening heads going. I have tested around 30 broadheads, and the snypers are the best mechanical in my personal opinion. I also know of a pretty nice buck, that wishes they were never made! My next choice would be the new archery products shockwave, followed by the rocket steel head. My biggest problem with rocket heads is that their blades will not shave hair out of the package. Remember that even with mechanicals you still need to tune your bow well, and you should not shoot any mechanical head unless you have at least 55 ft/lbs of bow energy.

I took three deer with the NAP Spitire 100 this year. The exit wound looks just like a 12 ga. slug. I also took a turkey with the same Spitfire and it had a 2 in.exit hole in its breast after I shot it in the back. NAP claims that their steel is the sharpest in the industry.

I got both my bucks this year with shockwaves 100. Great head. YOu will be happy if you try them but the deer wont.
