Default Has anyone used these?

Has anyone used these? Let me know what you think if you have, especially if you have harvested an animal with them.

I had gotten away from using fixed blade partially because of the fact that when they dull it is hard to resharpen them. These have three blades and all the blades are resharpenable on a Flat stone, if you look close the two consecutive blades right to the tip is one surface that interconnects. Trying to explain it better if you lay this broadhead down that whole side is one flat surface, so should be easy to keep sharp.

An added bonus is that you can buy a practice head in the same shape and weight but without the razor sharp edges to practice with.

Oh yeah you might want to check out the Razorcaps as well.

If you buy one of these types of broadheads you will have to learn to sharpen. Both the Razorcap and the G5 sites talk about it. I bought the G5 sharpener. I have Razorcaps and they fly and shapen well.

Me too. I retire them after shooting a deer. Haven't missed yet but I suspect I would throw them away. Still you probably have to sharpen most cut on contact heads. Sometimes new out of the box they aren't sharp enough but also just by pulling them in and out of the quiver dulls them just a little. No biggie, they sharpen really easily.

They fly great out of my old Supermag, right on the money every time. But I do not care for them as much out of my supermax. The Tekans fly great out of it. The Montech's are nice because you can practice with them and then sharpen to the "shave hair" statusand use the same head that you know shoots well and not have a different head that my have a defect in it. I did not by the G5 stone, just went and bought a diamond stone from store and it works great. It is easy as pie, you just hold flat on stone and I push head against stone with the point going in the direction I am pushing, the same way a wood worker sharpens a chisel. Some guys go back and forth, some swirl, to each his own as long as you think its sharp. I like to take a magic marker and mark the surface before I sharpen so as I know I am putting even pressure on the blade and all is sharp. I think the diamond stone gets them sharper then when they come out of package so don't think that a fired blade is inferior to a sharpened one.

I have always been a Muzzy man, but this year the "change" bug bit and that was why I wanted to shoot the tekans and then bought the Montech's for dad. So hopefully in time will give actual kill reports on them both!

Ditto on what Don said. Once they hit a deer they are done. They go on shelf and are a little trophy!

I looked at the Razorcaps as well as the Montec's.

Reference the Montec...I like the one piece design andit looks as if they have fixed the factory sharpeness problem

Reference the Razorcaps...I like the amount of cutting surface
