Default RE: crimson talon broadheads??

I have shot the CT Xt's a good bit.

They look deadly = curved blades with 3 bleeder blades.

But here is my short experience and why I am switching to the G5 Striker:

(1) the CT did not fly as true as the Striker. They hit to the right about 2-3 inches at 25 yards.
This could be my problem, and it wouldn't necessarily keep me from using them, but the Strikers hit
dead center (if anything a hair low).

(2) I got much better penetration on my target from the Strikers. I think the CT will do a whole
lot of damage, but I want a pass through, especially for tracking. I don't think with all that
twisting and curved blades and bleeder blades (lot more surface area and angles) that the
CT is as likely to get a pass through.

For those two reasons I am switching. But I do think the CT XT is a well made head and will do a lot
of damage, it just didn't build that confidence in me to put it in my quiver on opening day.
