I finally shot one the other day and It slit my target all to pieces out the back. One of those layered gander mountain ones. But I decided to go with wasps sst 100 gr. Good Luck this coming season.

That's great that they are sending you a new one, but there is a lesson to be learned here. Make sure you at least spin test your broadheads before hunting with them. Sure would stink if that 8"-10" errant shot was on an animal.

Shipping cost more than the broad head. It was out of balance, no biggy!
Well my thinking was that anyone could call up and say "Hey, I've got a broadhead that just won't fly" and wind up with free heads.

At least if you ship it back, they're sure you're being honest.
But, even so, you still get a new head out of the deal. You could have 4 heads for the price of three that way, but seems like a lot of work just to get another broadhead.

Fraley, those Gander Mountain targets don't stop poop,and I have two holes in my shed to proof it. The first hole I will blame on them but the second hole is my fault. I should have learned the first time. Hunting I always try to test my equiptment. We owe that to the game we take. But I diegress,the point of this post was to talk up G5. I don't speak highly of a product very often. They are as follows; Rocket Aeroheads Steelhead-4,Rockey Mountain Snyper XP-3,And though I know it is the wrong place to be saying this;my Tenpoint Titan crossbow. On a side note ,my Ben Pearson Spoiler is great as long as you realize it is an entry level bow and don't expect to much. With all that in place;you can add G5 to the list. You can ask me about any of these and I would be happy to tell you why I like them.

They don't cut hair either. They fly great but are definately not sharp out of the package. I'm speaking from what I know about Montecs. I havnt shot the Striker yet.

Thats my only dislike about montecs, they are a bit tough to get hair shaving sharp. They are sharp enough to do the trick but the sharper the better. Strikers are probably the sharpest head if every shot.

If you want hair cutting sharp, try out the ne NAP Hellrazors. THey are some sharp broadheads! They fly like the g5s but are sharp as a scapal.

Sharpness is a problem you say? Should I buy the flat stone they sell for sharpening them. Is it somehow different from a regular stone?
