If it's been shot it's dull. I have three G5 Montec's that are set aside for practice and 6 that are set aside for hunting. The hunting heads get stoned and stropped out of the package (since I think G5's aren't very sharp from the factory) and they get a periodic maintenance stropping during the season to ensure that they are beyond razor sharp. I think sharp broadheads are too often overlooked as a key element in bowhunting.
