Re: Target for Mechanical Broadheads

A bag target will work with the practice blades tears it up a little more . Some times gets stuck in material. A block is a better choice.my field points really fly just like spitfires inside 40 yards i hardly use the practice heads any more. Hopefully you will discover this also spitfires the bomb....

Re: 2219 lighted nocks

Because of the angle of spitfire offset blade there not foam target friendly the real blades will be toast. For the price you pay for the spi...
