Speaking of broadheads....
I'm probably going to have to buy some new ones for next season as I can't find replacement tips, practice blades or replacement blades for my 125 grain Muzzy 4 bladed broadheads anywhere around town[:@] After doing a little research and talking to some folks out at the practice range, I'm leaning toward 125 grain G-5 Montecs. Does anyone reading this have an opinion on that particular brand (or have a suggestion on another type)?

RE: Speaking of broadheads....
Montecs are very good heads. Fly like darts and are quite sharp. But let me tell you a little story.
I shoot Magnus Stingers. 2 weeks ago, I shot a doe out of my ground blind at 15 yards. I hit her squarely in the shoulder. My arrow went through BOTH shoulder blades and kept on going. I never did find the arrow and was upset about that. I really wanted to see what condition the arrow and BH were in. Stingers fly like lazers, and after that shot, I will be shooting them for a long time.

, the big pro for me was they fly just like my FT's

I just started using G5 montecs this year and shot a buck with them. It worked perfectly and was easy to sharpen back up. I am done buying different heads unless somebody designes a heat seeking broadhead. LOL

Hey, the 100gr. Montec's are the best heads I've ever shot. However, if I wasn't shooting them I'd be shootin' Stingers orthose new ones by Magnus. The best part about the Magnus SS and Montec's is that they are flat-stone-resharpenable. Cut on contact too.

RE: Speaking of broadheads....
thunder head 100s
I have shot 3 deer so far with them and only one i didnt get a pass through, it did sink up to the fletchings and stick out the other side and had blood EVERY WHERE
only my buck perfect passthough then stuck in the ground deer went 40 yds and piled up
then on my first with a bow (button buck) shot went in and came out deer went 40 yds and piled up.
O the doe that did get the full passthrough she went maybe 50 yds. with a blood trail a blind man could follow.
Also they are cheap like 36 bucks or so for 6 heads thats better the 30 for 3
