Just my 2 cents I just started using G5 last year and got very very good flight out of them I was shooting 3D with the practice heads and they were flying as well as my expandables I would buy some preseason G5 montecs and give them a try and if you like them you can buy the sharpened ones and they will fly the same I tried them out to 50 yards and that elk would of been history right in the boiler room only thing it was just FOAM ie 3D
