[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 336069, member: 7544"] I had loaned my bow to my brother. For what ever reason, he removed my Spitfire mechanical broad heads and bought some cheap no name fixed blade broad heads. I didn't think to put my spitfires back on before heading out to the woods when I got my bow back. I could tell there was a problem as the arrow left the bow. It started into what looked like a spiraling corkscrew. It was on the upper portion of that corkscrew rotation as it reached the deer and he had also squatted about 3-4 inches when he heard the bow, so the arrow passed over the top of his back. By noon that day I had put my Spitfire heads back on and 2 days later shot a deer at 40 yards and it worked flawlessly as it always has for me. I've been using Spitfire mechanical heads for about 10 years now. They don't use o-rings and I've never had one open prematurely unless it struck a limb in flight before reaching it's intended target. I have no doubt that if he had gotten Rage or Muzzie broad heads it would have worked equally well but you get what you pay for and I didn't double check what he had done so it's as much my fault as it was his I guess.
