I just posted this on the "Technical" forum, but that forum doesn't receive the same attention as this one so I'm going to re post it here. I'm having troubles with the 100 grain G5 Montec shooting 6-8 inches right when compared to field points and the G5 striker. I think it might have something to do with 2" fletchings not being enough for the Montec. What do you guys think? Thanks for the help.
I shot some arrows this morning, 3 with the G5 strikers and 3 with the G5 Montecs. All three Montecs went 6-8 inches right, all in the same spot. The G5 strikers went where I was aiming along with the field points I shot, just to make sure it wasn't me. i was shooting at 38 yards. All the broadheads and field points are 100 grain, on a 28.5" gold tip Traditional Carbon arrow. My bow set up is a Matthews outback, 62 pounds. I fletch all my own arrows with 2" quick spins. Like I said, everything else shoots straight, except for the Montecs. Could it because they blades are much bigger on the Montecs and don't really correspond too well with 2" fletchings. Thats the only thing I can think of. Just wondering what the professionals think.

I have used the g5 montecs for years and I really like them. This year I switched to the g5 CS montecs. I like how sharp they are, and I also like the way they are mainly black instead of silver. However, I hunted in the rain last weekend and I noticed that the CS broadheads were showing some rust spots on them.
