I've read a lot of people do sharpen them out of the package. That doesn't bother me, I like doing that kinda stuff. Plus it will be good practice for when I have to re-sharpen after using them.
I'm also aware of the fact that the edges are on a 60 degree angle, because of the design, so you won't get quite the extreme angle you get with a thinner, disposable blade. That is the reason I like them. Not the angle, but the thicker, tougher blade, and the fact that I can sharpen them on the fly if I need to. Not having to find someone who is open and sells replacement blades, on a Saturday evening an hour from the closest town.

Never used them but have herd horror stories about them being dull.
I've been using ramcats for a few years but am trying slick tricks this year just to change things up a bit. They're stupid sharp out of the box.
I also like a larger cut then the montecs deliver, therefore I'm going with the 1.25 four blade in 125 grain.

Thanks! Those were actually my very first animals ever taken with my bow. I was SUPER proud lol. The Montecs make a “zing” noise when flying but they’ve always been great for me. Been shooting the carbon steel 100gr for about 5-6 years. Never an issue with sharpness.
