RE: Crimson Talons worth the money?
I have not shot these heads, but I myself switched from mechanicals (shockwaves) to the new Montec G5. Now for the money I cant see a better deal... I have shot these heads for the last week and have never shot a fixed blade so well.... I shoot a very well tuned bow - an AR 34, and I can shoot bare shafts 2-3" away from my fletched shafts at 30 yards - this is good.... just my point, a tuned bow is a must for a fixed blade.
For the money - you should look hard at the montecs.... you can practice with them and then sharpen them bach up for hunting - they are solid and shoot VERY well.......
Good luck
