G5

[topherstrux]

Just ordered some new G5 Strikers today 100 grain. Heard some good reviews. Anybody tried them, and whatya think about them?

i got some. I like em....but go ahead and make sure your shot placment is spec.

These are very tough, sharp, broadheads but they are not the greatest for getting a heavy flow of blood unless you make a good shot....... well, i think most braodheads are this way so nevermind.

All in all great broadhead, i have the 125 and the true test came from thumpin hogs. These are stout heads. good luck

oh yeah they are easy to sharpin aswell and fly very true

Very sharp , excellent flight, great penetration. Doesn't leave a huge gash like a rage, but I haven't heard of a failure either. I will have both the rage 2 blade and strikers in my quiver. Rage for deer, strikers for hogs.

Landrover killed 7 animals in RSA with them. Including a Stud Eland. Excellent heads...

Yep, they are awesome! Between them and Slick Tricks life is GOOD!

My nephew took a doe this weekend with one. He has a 26" draw length and pulling 60#, and got a pass through...

I disagree. I hunted with them last year and never could get them as sharp as I'd like...even with the G5 sharpening stone that they sell specifically for those heads. Switch to ST's this year and been mighty pleased so far. Good luck with the Montecs.

I disagree. Good luck with the Montecs.

I think this discussion is about Strikers. Montecs are a different story, but Strikers are GREAT heads!

Did you use the strikers or montecs? Strikers are much sharper than montecs.

[IDAHO_BOWMEN]

Stikers are great, they are lots sharper then the montecs and fly just as good.

Yes, you are correct. I missed that one. Sorry about the misquote. Good luck with the Strikers! Thanks BowVista for the correction.
