Spitfire practice head
Has anyone ever used the spitfire practice head with a bag target meant for field points I have a big shot 450 bag target and was wondering
Re: Spitfire practice head
I’ve done it before but won’t anymore. The internal material gets wrapped around it and opens big holes in bag trying to remove it.

Don't do it!....you'll regret it. Also, I bought 3 of the Spitfire practice heads. They fly and group beautifully. HOWEVER, they don't hit anywhere near the broadhead topped arrows.

Re: Spitfire practice head
If I were you I would get a Block Black Crossbow target and use that .
Re: Spitfire practice head
most(but not all) of the experts on here frown on this but its what has worked for me and after 15+ years of using spits and the first several years i shot practice heads/actual bh's and field points into a block type target and there was very little if any difference between them at my hunting range out to my self imposed limit of 35 yards i just use my same grain field points to sight in with and have not looked back because it works and no more shredding targets

Re: Spitfire practice head
I recently received my newest target from Morrell, called the High Roller 21. It in my opinion is the BEST new target released in 2018. I first saw it at the 2018 ATA show and was certainly impressed and after shooting into it for a week I am very pleased how well it stops my 400 fps 400 grain arrow tipped with broadheads or field points. I might add that arrow removal is one handed easy. Also impressive is the self healing material.
For $99.00 and a weight of 10 pounds you can't go wrong.
Other features:
•Stops speeds up to 450 FPS
•Great for Compounds and Crossbows
•Stops all Fieldpoints and Broadheads
•100% Weatherproof
•Fade Resistant Paint
•E-Z Tote Carrying Handle
•6 Sides & 21 Bullseyes

Re: Spitfire practice head
The best practice head for a spitfire is a fieldpoint of the same weight. I have 5 excalibur bows. With zombies and 110 insert ....no difference in impact at all at hunting range. That is the golden thing of using them swhackers, xact cut and cabellas lazer strike ll same story

Re: Spitfire practice head
I had a practice session with my Micro Black ops yesterday. I had 2 heads in mind for my upcoming bear hunt. The Grim reaper whitetail specials or the 125 Exodus crossbow head that I used to take my last bear.
First I tried my Grim reaper whitetail specials with a 2" blades. I didn't have a practice head so I used the actual head. First shot in to my 18-1 target and I bent the blades. so to sight my bow in with them am I to use a new head after every shot?? Man that can get expensive...lol
I unscrewed the GR and put an QAD Exodus head back on. and after 3 shots I was dialed in out to 50 yards.
When practicing I feel you need to use the actual broadhead. I have found some practice heads don't mimic the real head. BTW the penetration with the Exodus heads in the 18-1 is unbelievable and no bent or dull blades!! I'm ready!!!

A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

How far into the target does your micro bury an arrow? I do find that sometimes the 15" arrow can really diassapear with the reinhard

Re: Spitfire practice head
Jansey, i expect at least half of your arrow available to grasp when shot from your Pitbull Micro into the High Roller target.
