Default RE: G5 Striker Magnum Anyone???

ORIGINAL: passthru79

I played around with them quit a bit this year and just couldnt get them to be consisitant. I can get regular strikers or montecs to hit right with my field tips out to 70 yards but the magnums are pretty touchy past 35 or so. If you have perfect form everytime and your shots are relatively close you will be fine.
I guess this is why i shoot the rage 3 blades! I would love to switch to a large fixed blade that i can get a hole like a rage, and fly even almost as good, but its nearly impossible. now, the flying out at 70 yds is amazing. I know the slicktricks and the regular strikers it can be done with and with the right setup they will fly just like a field tip.

oh well, i was just hoping to find the cure all bh. i might get some strikers for next year to keep in the quiver just in case but i just cant get away from the massive hole and blood trail. the rages have their faults no doubt but until it happens to me, i guess ill stick with what works. thanks as always fellas!
