I know this subject has been beat to death and probably especially with this broadhead..
But I was testing the sharpness of my broadheads and my Montecs will barely shave hair with quite a bit of trying unlike my Stingers.. But the Montecs fly better. No doubt they will both kill deer, I know the Montecs are noisy also but before I get off subject here..
I emailed G5 and they said to test to the broadhead using the rubber band test... 2 screws and a 2x4 and a stretched out rubber band.. If it cuts the band then it's sharp enough to hunt..
So they cut with some mild pressure.. BUT, I tried a butter knife also..
I just had too and guess what. The darn butter knife will cut the rubber band with just a little more pressure.[&:]
Does anyone else think the rubberband test is a bunch of bs.. Maybe I should buy thicker rubber bands..

I also heard it's nearly impossible to get the Montec to sharpen to shaving ability's.. Once again I know it will kill a deer and I might still try them but this is just killing me for some reason.. lol Is anyone else having any problems with this broadhead.. I mean they fly great but come on...

I started using them this year, shot one through a deer, it cut a rib in half on each side, seems sharp to me.

I am also interested in this post, I bought Montecs and like you said they seem to lack the sharpness that many broadheads have, however they do fly the same as my FT's

montec use two types of steel tempered together and thats why they wont sharpen. i love shooting them for the one piece however, any replaceble blade head is goin to be sharper. I have killed animals with both

I use montecs also. Mine are very sharp and easy to resharpen. They have worked just fine on deer.
