Spitfire Gobbler Getter
New Archery Products
The NAP Spitfire Gobbler Getter is an intelligently designed expandable broadhead specifically for turkey body shots where a pass-through is undesirable. Its defining feature is a built-in stopping plate behind the blades. This plate deploys upon impact, preventing the arrow from fully penetrating the bird. The idea is to keep all the arrow's energy and the broadhead's cutting action contained within the turkey, maximizing internal damage and ensuring the arrow doesn't bury itself in the dirt or fly off with the bird. Performance in the field is consistent with this design – the blades open reliably, and the plate does its job, creating significant trauma without a full pass-through. This means easier recovery of the bird and your arrow. The blade design itself is proven, based on the reliable Spitfire mechanism. For hunters who prefer aiming for the vitals rather than the head and neck, this broadhead offers a specialized solution that increases the odds of a quick, clean harvest and an arrow that stays in the bird, preventing lost gear. It's a pragmatic choice for the bowhunter seeking a dedicated turkey body-shot head. **Highlights** * Integrated stopping plate prevents pass-throughs * Maximizes internal damage and energy transfer * Reliable blade deployment on impact * Proven Spitfire blade design for clean cuts * Increases chances of recovering both bird and arrow **Watch-outs** * Not designed for head/neck shots * Still requires precise aim for vitals * Can be more expensive than fixed-blade options * Blade retention system can require careful handling

Razortip Turkey Broadhead
Grim Reaper
The Grim Reaper Razortip Turkey Broadhead offers a strong middle ground for turkey hunters. It's a wide-cutting expandable, but it doesn't have a dedicated stopping plate like some other designs. Instead, its wide cutting diameter (often around 2 inches) and aggressive blade angle are designed to create substantial trauma and resist deep penetration, especially if you hit bone or off-angle. It's not a true decapitator, but it's much more than a standard expandable. This head is built for those who want the shock and cutting power of a large expandable but might not be comfortable with the specific demands of a head-and-neck only broadhead. The Razortip’s blade design is a testament to Grim Reaper’s reputation for reliability. The blades deploy consistently, and the tip is designed to initiate penetration effectively before the main blades open up to do their work. It flies well, much like a field tip, making tuning less finicky than with guillotine-style heads. It’s a versatile choice that performs admirably on body shots, creating large wound channels, and can even be effective on head/neck shots if you’re precise, thanks to its wide cutting path. This is a solid, no-nonsense choice for a dedicated turkey expandable. **Highlights** * Wide cutting diameter (around 2 inches) for significant trauma * Reliable blade deployment and proven Grim Reaper mechanism * Flies like a field tip, simplifying tuning * Versatile for both body shots and precise head/neck shots * Robust construction handles impacts well **Watch-outs** * No dedicated stopping plate; potential for pass-throughs * Not as forgiving on head/neck shots as a true decapitator * Requires clean hits for optimal performance * Blades can be delicate if not handled carefully
