I used them year beforelast and I liked them. Last year I used their tekan II just to try them. I liked the tekan as well but I found that the'd pop open when you removed them from the quiver sometimes. This year I'm gonna try slick tricks. I agree the montecs are not as sharp as I would prefer out of the box. I found that they are hard to sharpen once they're shot I guess the steel is so hard its tough. Other than that a great broadhead.
