too_pointer Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Hello. Now that I have pretty much decided to try some I need a few more questions answered. I will be using the 100 grn. How many use the practice heads ? They are kinda pricey, can you not just use a good one to practice with and just resharpen it after you use ? Also, What grain do you use, 85, 100, 125, or 140 grn. ? I also see they sell a sharpening stone kind of designed for the Montec, do you use that to resharpen or something else. Lots of questions, sorry Thanks alot for your help and opinions Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted July 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Re: G5 MONTEC USERS J.B.

Rhino Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Re: G5 MONTEC USERS Too I shoot the 100's with my bowtech bow shooting carbon arrows and 125's with my High Country bow shooting aluminum arrows. I have both the Montec sharpening stone and the Montec diamond sharpener. I prefer the stone. Once I get them where I want them with the stone I'll touch them up further with a ceramic sharpener before I polish them with leather. I saw no need to buy practice heads either. Seemed like a waste of money to me when you can just resharpen the broadheads. Besides, I'm used to resharpening dull broadheads from sharpening the broadheads I use with my recurve.

buckee Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: G5 MONTEC USERS That Montec Diamond sharpener is a good sharpening stone Mike. You'll like it. You can also finish the sharpening off on a piece of leather or 600 grit wet/dry paper. As far as the practise heads go, for the price, you might as well by an extra pack of the good broad-heads and use them for practise only. That way, if you ever run short of broad-heads, you can just sharpen them up and they're ready to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: G5 MONTEC USERS I use a fine bit, flat, diamond stone that I got at Bass Pro to sharpen them after practicing. I only use two to practice with and resharpen if needed, and keep one for that first shot on that wallhanger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted July 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Re: G5 MONTEC USERS Thanks everyone, now one more question LOL I see on the sharpening vid and you guys also mentioned using leather to finish the head off. Is this something I need to buy or what ? I have never used leather before Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
