Tekan II
Not looking to get into a broadhead debate. Just looking for info and experiences (good or bad) with the G5 Tekan II's. I saw on their website that they've changed the look a little (they're now black), and am wondering if they changed anything else. Taking my first trip to Illinois in the fall of '08, and am thinking of using them. Considered the Rage for quite awhile, but have heard a lot about poor penetration with them. Please don't try to sell me on the Rage!!! Only looking for updated info on the Tekan II's!

RE: Tekan II
Just found this on the G5 website, so I was correct in thinking they had revamped the original Tekan II.

LARGER CUTTING DIAMETER WITH BETTER PERFORMANCE[/align]
MEMPHIS, Mich., G5 Outdoors, the leading manufacturer in archery equipment and design, has reintroduced the popular Tekan expandable blade broadhead.
The Tekan now comes standard with a wider 1 – ½” cutting diameter creating massive entrance and exit wounds. The blades also incorporate a serrated leading edge design, ensuring full blade deployment upon impact.
The 100-grain Tekan now features a new black oxide coating and redesigned o-ring retention system that holds the blades in place more consistently, yet still only requires three pounds of pressure for full rearward blade deployment. The rock solid one-piece stainless steel ferrule utilizes a smaller ½ “ cut-on-contact tip for maximum penetration.
“We are very excited to get this broadhead on the market,” said G5 lead design engineer and co-owner, Nate Grace. “We were able to make a great mechanical broadhead even better.”
“To design and manufacture a broadhead with this level of performance and reliability is exactly what G5 is known for,” added Garret Armstrong, G5 Brand Manager. “We couldn’t be happier with the Tekan’s performance in the field.”

RE: Tekan II
I've shot Rage's and Tekans. Both are excellent heads but I REALLY like the Rages. I get plenty of penetration with the Rages, about 4inches in the dirt on the other side of the deer 
. The Rage's are USUALLY trashed after zipping through a deer, but you can usually reuse Tekan's.

RE: Tekan II
I have shot the tekan's in past years and have had great performance on the three does that i shot with them. The blood trails were the only thing that were'nt great, but they may have been addressed and could have certainly been the shot angle on the one doe.

RE: Tekan II
I used the Tekan IIs for a season, but switched to Rages. I had some issues with the Tekan's blade retention system, but it sounds like they've addressed that. I like all the changes they have made. They are good broadheads, very solid. If I had to switch back to them I wouldn't be disappointed, especially with the new changes.
