My shots are no more then 30 yards. Also, will be going to Black Eagle Executioners for shafts.

Switched to grim reapers years ago, killed many deer, and have used most for multiple deer. At the price of broadheads these days, that matters to me. Couple friends use Nap Spitfires and like them also.

I know things can still happen with a good shot but I try to give myself the best chance of recovery by sticking to broadside or slightly quartering away. Poor people have poor ways.

Used Grim Reapers at the recommendation of the local sporting goods store. Killed 2 does at 40 yds, neither went more than 50 yds. Zero blood trail though, and that concerns me.
