Guest IllinoisMackDaddyHunter Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Have any of you Muzzy fans tried the new G5 broadheads. Do they fly as good as a Muzzy? And how are they on penetration compaired to the Muzzys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 i haven't tried them, but i have heard nothing but great things about both the montecs and strikers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVreddot870 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I've hunted with the montecs and love them! I'm hog hunting this weekend with the Tekans to see how they work----both heads fly like darts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I would love to try the strikers but they are illegal here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txsbuda Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I just got the G5 on the recommendation of Rhino. I purchased Cabela's smaller version of the "Block". My arrows got great penetration and were going almost through the target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michihunter Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 I would love to try the strikers but they are illegal here. Why would the Strikers be illegal there? Blade length? I heard OK has some kinda strange law in that regard. To answer the original question, G5's broadheads are all that and a bag of deercaine!!

fenderhunt4 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I liked the accuracy better with the G5's but the penetration with Muzzy's was through the roof. After shooting a deer with a Monotec, I switched back for the next season to a harder hitting, slicing broadhead...it made a much better blood trail too.

Guest bowhunter56 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I use the striker and find them to fly like a field point and extremely sharp, no sharpening needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 If you're considering the Montecs.........just buy them and use them. You will not find a better flying fixed-blade head anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbowhntr Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I shoot the G5 Montecs 125's out of my longbow. They shoot the best out of any other fixed/cut-on-contact I have tried. And they are quiet in flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatherBowHunt Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 they fly absolutely amazing...however yes the have good penetration...but they are incredibly hard to sharpen...and they are not very sharp right out of the package...the new montec strikers however fly the same and are unbelieveably sharp....i'd go with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

257bob Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 They shoot better than any Muzzy I have ever screwed on. All you have to do is spin test them to see the difference. In my experience (I know this will get argument), but 1 in 6 muzzy ferules are bent or don't spin rather. Go with the one piece broadhead.

hutchies Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 The whole thing about spin testing is that if the bh doesn't work on one shaft try it on another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
257bob Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 When the ferule is bent it won't spin true on any shaft. But that is beside the point I know muzzy fans shoot them because they work for them and they didn't for me. Shoot what your bow shoots well.

hutchies Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I have yet to see a brand new one out of the pack with a bent ferrule. I have however had a few that didn't like certain arrows. It happens. The only reason I am thiking about shooting anything else this year is because the blood trail wasn't good at all with the muzzy's.

bwlacy Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I can't get any Muzzy to spin good with the easton hidden inserts. I have hunted with Muzzy in the past, but not this year. I have a brand new dozen arrows that Thunderheads and Steelforce spin good on 10 of the 12, doesn't matter what head with what shaft, all 10 spin good. I mixed and matched 9 different Muzzys with the 10 good arrows and can't even get one good one. Now I like Muzzys and they spin good on my aluminum arrows, just not the new carbons that I have. I don't know why, doesn't really matter I guess. One thing I know is that the ferrule on the Muzzys does measure .004 smaller than the other two brands that I have. With the HIT inserts they don't seem to aling properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'm planning on shooting a different head this year. I have narrowed it down to 2 heads.......Magnus stinger and the Slicktricks.............Hard decision ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwlacy Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'll most likely hunt with Thunderhead 125's. I have a bunch of them, they do need new blades. They spin good, fly good, and I've killed a bunch of deer with them over the last 20 something years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig mack Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I love my G5's. They fly great and have great penetration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYBowhunter71 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I use the Montec G5 and I got great penetration on the deer I took last year. However, I tried to sharpen the blades and noticed the tip was blunted a bit. I don't know if I can get it out with sharpening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 If you're considering the Montecs.........just buy them and use them. You will not find a better flying fixed-blade head anywhere. I'll 2nd that. Some 3 or 4 years ago vtbowhunter posted this pick of a comparison of penetration and durability between a G5 and a 4 blade muzzy. I couldn't help but save it just in case something like this came up again. As you can see the G5 won out, hands down. Hope vtbowhunter doesn't mind me posting this.
