Response from G5 about Tekans....

I worte G5 last evening asking the saem things I have posted here lately about the possible opening of the Tekan blade during the shot.

This is the email I got today:

"Hi Shawn, I am glad you are enjoying the performance of the Tekan I head. It

has been proven for well over 4 years now that the Tekan's perform awesome

in the field and do exactly as stated. Their penetration, durability,

accuracy and re-sharpenability is unmatched. Would it be possible to make

your own clip with a home video camera? I can send a copy of our

Instructional DVD to you. I am pretty sure it is protected and cannot be

accessed. This has a durability and blade retention test using a hooter

shooter and the Tekan II.

The Tekan I and now the Tekan II, which replaced the Tekan I does stay shut

in flight as long as it is properly setup. Even though it takes only a mere

3 pounds of kinetic energy to deploy the blades upon contact, the blades do

remain in their closed position during flight. We have tested the Tekan I

and Tekan II's on crossbows shooting well over 360 fps without any instances

of early deployment of the blades. We have shot them from compounds shooting

well over 300 fps and models also known for their high amount of shock. Even

bows that have a huge amount of shock, will not deploy the blades early. If

someone says their blades deployed early or not at all indicates they may

have set it up incorrectly. It is nice to hear you are taking the time to

study the head and learn how it works plus spread the word on it's

performance and efficiency. I wish there was more I could do for you or

something I could give to prove that point.

Thanks.

I must say I am content with the reply and confident my broad heads are flying closed and opening up on paper.

Just proves that G5 is the class act in broadheads.

So far every product G5 has made has really impressed me.

That Optix LE sight I got from them is really nice, tons of features; the harmonic dampers is my fave so far. LOL

Really great products from them... wink.gif
