I use the montec g-5's. I like the full one piece design. On all 8 animals I took since last spring, the blades were in perfect shape after passthroughs and all kills left a ton of blood. I get great flight with them and have had no tuning issues. the g-5's would get my vote on everything from antelope to elk.
I agree...great design, ultra strong and the flight issue was minimal. I just don't think it is my responsibility to put a good edge (meaning scalpel sharp) out of the package..that's one of the things I paid for. imho Then again, I am comparing them to the new Slick Tricks and the KING of Sharp...Silver Flames.
red boar, the angle on the blade of the montecs is not quite as steep as the mentioned broadheads. they won't appear as sharp to the feel, but believe me, the edge is there, just doesn't curl as easy. I still hit the blades as I do any other. The results on animals have been devistating. There is another broadhead out there that I have seen awesome carnage with and that is the shuttle t-lock, several of my friends use them and I can't believe what they do to a big game animal.

I second your opinion on the silver flames. great head, big $. I like the 2 blade for many reasons, but now I like to use a 3 blade coc as the blood trails seem a little stronger, especially on bear that have a tough time leaving a blood trail.
Good points all...thanks for the info on the Montecs, Elkcrazy...makes good sense. Also, best of luck this year.
