Spitfire 3-Blade Front-Deploying Crossbow Broadhead - Accurate

In this review the Spitfire 3-Blade front-deploying broadhead is evaluated as a high-performance option for crossbow hunters who prioritize flight accuracy and terminal trauma. The reviewer finds the Spitfire best for serious archers using high-speed crossbows, because its Micro Grooved Slimline Ferrule and Diamize blades produce exceptionally true flight and deep penetration, delivering quick, ethical kills when the rest of the setup is tuned correctly.

Key Features

• Front-deploying design: The mechanical deployment gives a 1.5-in cutting diameter on impact for large wound channels without compromising flight while closed.
• Micro Grooved Slimline Ferrule: The special ferrule improves flight stability and penetration so arrows track more like field points for better accuracy at range.
• Diamize sharpening: Ultra-sharp Diamize blades increase cutting efficiency and hemorrhaging for stronger terminal performance on game.
• Spring clip technology: Blades stay closed in quivers and during flight without rubber bands or o-rings, reducing prep time and jostling concerns.
• Legendary Trophy Tip point: Built to hold up to 350 FPS crossbow speeds for bone-splitting toughness and consistent tough-point performance.
• Pack and weights: Sold as a 3 pack and available in 100 grain (also listed in materials as 125 grain options), useful for matching typical crossbow setups.

Who It's For

The Spitfire suits avid archers and dedicated crossbow hunters who shoot modern, high-speed crossbows and need a mechanical broadhead that flies like a field point but opens to create large wound channels. It is particularly useful for hunters who value accuracy and want the sharpest blades available to maximize terminal performance.

Hunters who use very low-speed setups or those unwilling to tune arrow flight precisely might look elsewhere, because mechanical heads require proper tuning to achieve the advertised accuracy and some shooters prefer fixed-blade heads for simplicity and repeatable cutting geometry.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Exceptional flight accuracy thanks to the Micro Grooved Slimline Ferrule that mimics field point behavior.
• Extremely sharp Diamize blades that increase cutting efficiency and hemorrhaging on impact.
• Spring clip technology keeps blades closed in quivers and extends reliability without extra hardware.
• Durable Trophy Tip point designed for up to 350 FPS crossbow speeds for dependable penetration.

Cons

• Requires proper crossbow and arrow tuning to reach peak accuracy; shooters should test before hunting.
• Mechanical design may be less familiar to those who only use fixed-blade broadheads.

Specifications

Our Verdict
