I used them a couple seasons ago, then tried G5 montecs, then rage 2 blade, then magnus stingers. The 09 season my arrows will be tipped with Grim Reapers again. I had decent luck with rage, and I may even use the magnus in 09 also but I will definately be shooting GR. I never had a problem with small entrance holes they seemed fine to me, not as big as the exit but still good. When shooting them I used them as both an expandable and a fixed blade just for grins. They are good IMO.
