RE: G5 Montec
 

G5 1" is legal in WI. In fact many of the guys that I shoot with are using Ultimate steel 100gr that are 7/8" . I have been practicing with the G5 now for two weeks. 4" helical fletching and now they are grouping really well.

Where are you going to be hunting in WI, Buffalo County? Bluff Country Outfitters?

If you are get ready. That spot rocks like Jimi Hendricks on acid. Two guys from my town scored 150+ class bucks down there last year. One of them on opening day 7:00AM. It was so sad to hear him complain about how his hunting season was over too soon ;) No sympathy here!

Cut is 1 1/16 th. on 100' s. 1 1/8th. on 125' s and 140' s

RE: G5 Montec
 

And yes, legal in WI.:D

For what it' s worth, nothing is bullet proof but this head has proven itself to me. I think they are outstanding.

RE: G5 Montec
 

Me and my buddy used these this past weekend on some Oklahoma hogs, both hogs in the 200 lb range. this was my third animal with these heads and it was an outstanding pass through for the third time. Very good heads. none needed sharpening out of the package, though I think they are making them sharper than originally - not that it matters because i buy them because they can be resharpened so it wouldn' t matter to me if i had to sharpen them first.

RE: G5 Montec
 

yea they look like awesome heads. too bad they cost so much $

RE: G5 Montec
 

Can anybody tell me how to sharpen these blades? I bought 2 packages last year along with their diamond sharpening stone and I' m still trying to get them sharp. They are so dull it' s like running your thumb over a plastic knife.

RE: G5 Montec
 

They have a link on their site that explains how to sharpen and how to tell when you have it finished. http://g5outdoors.com/pages/products.../faqs/faq.html Try this one.

RE: G5 Montec
 

Heres how to test.http://g5outdoors.com/pages/products...s/montec.html#

RE: G5 Montec
 

Thanks, Nub. Since your post I' ve been sharpening away and I still can' t cut paper.

RE: G5 Montec
 

Geronimo,
eventually your strokes should be come very light, hardly any downward pressure from you. usually that is what many people don' t do - if that' s not the case with you, i ' m not sure what to tell you. I use DMT stones, haven' t tried their stone. another good thing to finish with is a leather strop but even without that you should be able to cut paper. You have to hold the blade at an angle to the paper you are cutting. sometimes a head might take me longer than the one before but as long as i keep the strokes very very light and keep at it, it' ll get there in a few minutes. well those are just my thoughts. if you like the design you might want to try snuffers or wensel woodsmans, some people think they are easier to sharpen.

Those heads seem to be pretty good heads. I can get 6 magnus' for about the price of 2 montec' s. I' d probably try them if they weren' t so expensive, athough I doubt I' d be gaining anything.

RE: G5 Montec
 

Thanks Shaky, I will follow your instructions and see what happens. I think I' ve probably been a little heavy handed. How much pressure and how many strokes on the leather?

RE: G5 Montec
 

i have a very fine DMT stone so i don' t use a strop but from those who do they usually say just a few strokes on each flat side should take some of the burrs off. thats what i do on my very fine stone and it just gives you a little cleaner edge I would say. Even without doing this it would be fine to hunt with if you do the rest of the sharpening right. I' m still learning too and had to read alot and ask alot of questions but my sharpening has gotten pretty good now. lighter is definitely better in my book. good luck.

i like to take a ' dull' montec or snuffer and take a replaceable blade head that is brand new and mount them on your arrows and pull some heavy rug or denim over them, see people ' s draws drop - cut on contact just gives me alot of confidence that i have the best penetrating head style with a good size hole and a strong tip.

I bought a tube of these and have been doing some of my own testing. (Not near as extensive as 5 Shots) So far I' m very pleased with the way they fly. I shoot the 125 grain heads and have resharpened them. I don' t think you' ll get them as sharp as an old straight razor, because of the heavy blades along with the angle of the edge, but I' m confident they will cut clear through any critter I come across.

I am actually on the G5 Broadhead Pro Staff, these broadheads are awesome. They give me all that I would want from a broadhead.
I like the Design and structure of them also ;)

RE: G5 Montec
 

Hey Brandon, Tell me how to get these g5' s sharp. I have followed your instructions over and over and I can' t cut anything. I am sitting here with 3 tubes and I' m stumped and confused and hesitant about using them in the field.

RE: G5 Montec
 

Geronimo,
Spent some time this morning sharpening my G5 so you could indeed shave paper with it. I had to sharpen each blade individually, not like they show on their web sight. Although I would recommend following their instructions because I' d rather cut venison than paper!. The angle of the broadhead is such that it will be plenty sharp when shot through a deer. If you don' t have a diamond stone, your wasting your time trying to sharpen anything...In My Humble Opinion! You could purchase their sharpener and use it on all your knives too! Hope this helps. Actually, if it shoots to the point of aim, its far better than the replaceable razorblade type. But each to his own.

I put this up on the Tech sight but will also put it here in case you didn' t see it.

RE: G5 Montec
 

Geronimo,

I have been extremely successful using Crock Sticks to sharpen by G5' s. You can pick them up for $10-20 at most local sporting good stores like Academy, etc. I bought mine at a Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation over ten years ago and love them. They work very well on any blade.
Take an old shaft and screw the broadhead into the shaft. Hit each blade 3-5 five times per side and they will be sharp enough to shave. Guaranteed!

RE: G5 Montec
 

Thanks Guys...I think I' ve finally made some progress!
