Has anyone shot the G5 montec broadhead?

I used them and found their design would not let them get very sharp.  The shorter heads get the greater the angle edge.  Lengthen them like a woodsman and they are great.  Shorten them and they are not sharp.  I punched through the chest and found very little blood.  Found the deer the next morning and no blood around her.

Quite a few years back I got some on the st Jude's auction. I got 2 and 3 blade version.  I shot my first traditional deer with the 2 blade.  Sot clean through her. Didn't even know she was hit. Stood there. Fell over.  Still have those heads. Still sharp. Same year I shot another with the 3 blade similar story. Deer went 10 yards. The tip broke off guessing in the ground. I still use that same head for rabbits, and grouse during the elk season. Probably shot a dozen rabbits and grouse with the same head. I wouldn't hesitate with deer. Or  smaller stuff. But probably wouldn't consider it with elk.

Before I got serious about my "trad journey", I used nothing but Montecs with the compound with about 12% FOC.  From my experience:  Killed probably 20 deer total and the longest blood trail was about 80 yards from hit site to downed deer.  All were chest shots contacting rib bones, except one shot through the scapula, high angle close to the tree-deer.  Saw a bit of tip curl on one deer and killed multiple deer with the same head.  Can't comment on heavy bone hits but ALL shots were pass throughs with good to great blood trails.  Sharpening:  seemed hard to get them as sharp as I now get my Tuffheads but I used to be alot more "sharpening challenged".  The flat stone sharpening seen on G5's website does work well.  If I went back compound (Ya! like THAT's going to happen!) I would go back to the Montecs.

I used them for a season when I hunted with a compound.  Needless to say I was not impressed.  But I know guys that swear by them.

I found them to be fairly durable out of a compound but frankly they're quite expensive. With so many good options out there I have trouble spending the money on them.

With that said, they're fairly small and I found they fly well. I have a few left and I use them, but won't be purchasing any more.

I'd rather buy 6 zwickey deltas and lunch with my $30

I've used them and they flew great. I shot a turkey and a large buck with my trad bow with them. They worked just fine for me.

I agree the stainless are tough to sharpen. The semi barb design is hard on layered targets when you remove the arrow. They offer a practice head, so you do not have to use a hunting head.
