[QUOTE="Ranger488, post: 527024, member: 34662"] Thanks for the helpful information Okie. I bought a pack of Grim Reaper X-bow practice heads and broadheads a couple of weeks ago. I'll take your advice and try the mechanicals on numbered shafts to note any shot pattern variations. I've read related postings about folks experiencing variations in the TAC15's shaft weights and flex patterns. I contacted NAP archery a few weeks ago about using Spitfire ProXP and Spitfire Maxx broadheads that I have left over from previous compound bow seasons. NAP replied saying the ProXP and MAXX series would work great with the fast shooting TAC15. I plan on shooting some of my NAP practice heads and mechanical heads through paper to see how they fly and if the blades stay closed at longer ranges. I've never had a problem with Spitfires or Rage mechanical heads deflecting on deer at quartering angles and I've never had a problem getting complete pass through shots using my Mathews compound bows during past seasons. I'd prefer to use the larger diameter mechanical heads with the TAC15 if they hold tight shooting patterns, minimize wind planing, create larger wound channels and if the blades stay intact after pass through shots. Thanks again... [/QUOTE]
