Default G5 Striker problem

I have a couple packs of G5 striker broadheads,but just bought another pack. After opening the new pack, I noticed that they rattled and made noise. So after attaching them to several different arrow shafts the noise does not seem to go away, NO matter how tight or loose they are. I added the little brass rings and I also removed thm but Nothing. I also tightened them with a broadhead wrench, thinking maybe I was tweaking them while tightening by hand. If you shake the shaft it makes a hell of a rattling noise. Out of the three, two of them do this, and it is only oneblade on each.I noticed that the ferrel seems to be deeper on the one blade slot. I even stuck a small piece of paper under the blade to try and make the noise stop, but did not work. My ? to you guys is, do you think that I will be able to return them without any problems, They have only been open,and NOT shot. And also do ou think I shoud contack G5 about the issue.

Had a bad result with the Striker. Granted, it was probably 90% my fault (hit shoulder blade - of
course not on purpose), but I just don't have faith in the Striker. Bought some Slick Trick magnums yesterday. [8D]

I have had 4 packs of strikers and only had one do that. I moved blades around and it was one slot on the main head. Call G5 let them know of your problem and they will take care of it. There must have been a machine making bad heads that was not caught by QC.

I had some do that and sent them back to G5, they said there was a small issue with that but was corrected. They sent me new broadheads that were just fine. Like them and it's all I'm using right now.
