Default RE: G5 Montecs... Wow.

I'm not much of a "sharp broadhead" guy, so I'm a bad person to ask about the condition of the blades. I mean, they felt pretty sharp - sliced right down through the foam in my quiver - even AFTER 20-30 shots into the block.

Hell, I killed a doe by accident one time with a muzzy practice head. I mean, Ishot her on purpose, but used the wrong arrow - by accident. [:-]

I'm always well into the 70-80# KE range, so I'm more or less just looking for a head that won't dissintigrate or plane all over the place. It could be duller than a butter knife, and will do the job just fine.

Accuracy
Durability
Sharpness

That's how I prioritize my broadhead analysis. Our deer around here aren't particularly huge, and I think I'm putting out enough KE to hunt Buffalo. Obviously, the farther you slide the KE number down, the more emphasis it places on having a razor sharp head. Durability isn't as much of a factor for a guy shooting 50# of KE.

I really liked the muzzy heads, but they just didn't shoot as consistently for me - and I kept breaking the blasted things. Right where the trocar tip threads onto the aluminum ferrule - it would snap off at the threads. That, and I'd always seem to bend up the blades, or dull them down after one shot.

If anyone wants to trade - I have about a dozen muzzy 100 3-bladers - most all of them need the blades replaced. I'd gladly swap them for some Montec 85's.

Chris - Man, I was happy when I centered the pin on the bullseye and buried it right in there. I've had no less than 30 people tell me that I'll never get a broadhead to fly on that arrow. Wrong. LOL You know I ate that up.
