NAP Spitfire Double Cross Crossbow Broadhead 100 Grain - Two-Stage Cut

Our review of the NAP Spitfire Double Cross 100 grain broadhead finds it best suited for crossbow hunters who want a mechanical broadhead that combines large initial trauma with reliable flight. The single biggest reason to buy is the two-stage blade deployment that gives a massive 2.0in main blade entrance and a secondary 1.125in bleeder to expand wound channels, producing strong penetration and exit potential while still flying like a field point.

Key Features

• Two-stage deployment: Front deploying main blades and rear deploying bleeder blades open on impact to create a larger, staged wound channel for improved blood trail and trauma.
• Massive main cut: The stage one main blades provide a 2.0in cutting diameter to maximize initial tissue damage and increase the chance of quick pass-throughs.
• Secondary bleeder blades: Stage two bleeder blades add a 1.125in cut that expands the overall cutting trauma and helps maintain bleeding if the main blades are partially obstructed.
• Flight performance: Designed to fly like a field point, the closed blade profile maintains consistent accuracy from a crossbow at high arrow speeds.
• American-made design: Built with a proven Spitfire mechanical design intended to keep blades locked in flight and only deploy on impact for reliability in the field.

Who It's For

The Double Cross broadhead is aimed at serious crossbow hunters who prioritize a mechanical head that balances large cutting diameters with field point-like flyability and strong penetration. It suits hunters who take shots at medium to large game where entrance and exit wounds and quick recovery tracks matter.

Hunters who want guaranteed perfect blade deployment every shot or those who prefer fixed-blade broadheads for maximum structural simplicity may want to compare options, since some users report mixed results with secondary blade durability and occasional non-opening blades.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Outstanding wound channel potential from the combined 2.0in main cut and 1.125in bleeder cut.
• True mechanical design that stays closed in flight and preserves accuracy similar to a field point.
• Built to deliver strong penetration and exit performance when blades deploy correctly.

Cons

• Some users report occasional issues with blade opening or secondary blade durability, so this is a realistic limitation to consider.
