I've never shot montechs but my buddy does. He was at my house a few weeks ago and we were out in the back shooting our BH's. After a couple rounds, he pulled a shot badly. The arrow flew right over his Block and centered a small tree. He thought he lost it in the high weeds but I told him that I heard it hit something and sounded like the arrow broke. We walked over to search for it. We found it quickly, the arrow appeared okay but the Montec 85 broke. I'll try to go out there this week after work and dig the rest of it out of the tree and see if I can get the other piece from him so I can get a picture of it to show you. I never though a Montec would break the way this one did. I seriuosly thought it would've held up better. The shot distance to the tree wasabout 35 yards. His bow shoots his arrows at 286fps.
