Broadhead test results..
This certainly isn't scientific by any means, but I just wanted to let you guys know what I found in what I've been shooting for broadheads.
For the last week or so, I've been shooting the G5 Montec, Rocket Sidewinder 3 and a slick trick side by side both at 20 yards and at 30 yards. All BH'sare 100grain using a Beman ICS 400 with 4" dura vanes coming out of my Xtec set at 68lbs. I don't know if any of that info matters, but just wanted to give you the setup.
Iam very happy with the performance of all 3 of them so far. They all flew just as my field tips did. I tuned my bow about 2 months ago and have been shooting field tips until about 2 weeks ago. I haven't had to change my setup one bit from one BH to another. I don't think I'd have a problem putting any of these 3 on my hunting arrows this fall. I just wanted to toss out my experience with the 3 so far.
Good hunting!!

Thanks for the info. I'm getting ready to try my broadheads I have been shooting thunderheads 100 and have had very good luck with them. But I just had my bow string and cables replaced and I'm hoping everything is OK. If you can belive it I have been bow hunting for 24 years and can't tune a bow a lick. Good luck Mike

RE: Broadhead test results..
Sounds like you have that Xtec tuned pretty darn well.
Are you shooting the Montec preseason blades or the real deal and are gonna resharpen?
I have heard so many people say nice things about the Slick Tricks but they have no real visual appeal to me...........just a goofy hang up of mine. I like my broadheads to look cool [8D]
