I've taken a respectable amount of game w/ those three and GT L II's. 3 deer, 4 hogs, 3 turkeys and a cow buff, all but the buff were complete pass thru's.
Never broke a carbon shaft [sans squirrels]or ate pieces of one. YMMV.
My best benched groups, 5 @ 50, were GT's w/ 2" Blazers 400 gr out of the Y-25, 1" and 1.5". No bhead tests that far for obvious reasons.
I just bought a new equinox and gave my ibex to my brother because he started getting into it too.
Been shooting the Excalibur Firebolts out of it, been hitting pretty well. Don't have any broadheads for it yet. Will most likely be trying boltcutters, x-acts, spitfires or slick tricks.

I put wraps and blazers on.
From a bench if I shoot at the same spot I'm going to ruin some arrows.
Last year I used 2 blade rage heads. They were devastating. 2" plus entry and exit holes.
The way they locked into place scared me though.
This year I plan on using Swhackers!! They seem devastating as well.
I feel more confident that those blades would never open in flight.
Thanks for your post.
