As a lot of you guys know, I'm pushing the current technological limits this season - hunting with a nonconventional setup... So far, sogood with the field tips.

Yesterday, however,was a day that I'd been dreading - "Broadhead day."

Some of the resident"experts"have voiced "concerns" about me being able to get a broadhead to fly and/or penetrateat such high speeds (350-370 fps) on such a light arrow (285 grains including broadhead), so I was a little nervous to see what was going to transpire when I finally mounted the blades and turned it loose.

So, I had my mind made up, and went outyesterday to pick up the 75gr. Muzzy's and set up for hunting season. Unfortunately, Gander Mountain was sold out of them, so I opted for the 85gr. G5 Montec's instead. I'd heard some good things - they looked solid... I'll try them.

First impression - they looked sturdy - sharper than all getout. Should penetrate like a hot knife in butter...

The first shot at 20 yardsburied almost to up to the fletchings in my block, dead in the bullseye. Flew like a dart - hit the same spot as a field tip. Dead nuts consistently- even out to 45 yds - no tailwhip or porpoising. Apparently, I was concerned over nothing... I love being right. LOL

All I know is that these stupid block targetsjust aren't built to handle the kind of KE that these new bows are putting out. Brand new block, with broadheads practically blowing right through it.



HCA Iron Mace, 29" 70#, Carbon Revolution 5.5 super stiff shaft, 285 grain arrow, G5 Montec 85 grain.
