NEW ONE PIECE SOLID BROADHEADS
Check out this site WWW.G5outdoors.com. They manufacture a solid one piece broadhead from threads to tip. Good Luck

I'll stick with my Wasp SST Hammers, thank you.

They have proven over and over again to shoot accurately and penetrate all the way through elk.

Hey OL'Sarge its a good thing. Talked to the guys at the archery shop. They said these G5 Broadheads are accurate but are a real pain in the *&() to sharpen. Just some FYI. Thanks

Thunderheads have served me very well.

I like replaceable blades. I can sharpen them easily and if they get nicked or too dull I can easily stick a new blade in. Weight and balance stay consistant.

The G5s would not stay as consistant if you had to sharpen a nick out of a blade.

Very good advertising but like I said, I like replaceable blades. I noticed at the bottom, what they are selling with the play on words is confidence in the head, not necessarily the best head.

I'm sure they will kill deer as will most on the market with 90% of the shots, after all the key to the kill is hitting the mark. [Smile]

I have heard good things about the G5 from a couple guys I know that shoot traditional but I'll stick to my Muzzys.

Here is a guy who does tests on broadheads,it's worth checking out. Personally I like Magnus & Woodsmans
myself.

I noticed people "dissed" solid heads above. Apparently you don't stump shoot or hunt small game with your broadheads. It is possible I guess but in my experience the first shot into a dirt bank or tree bends the blades. Gets pretty expensive when you consider the price of replacement blades.
This area is where a sturdy solid head shines.

P.S.- I tried the "Nugent" blades by Magnus once and found them to be rather flimsy for a solid. I ruined 12 of them in short order. Moral of the story is that some solid heads are fragile as well.

I shot the B52 two blade heads this past year. These heads are awesome. I got three deer with them. All arrows zipped right through, including two that hit heavy bone. They sharpen very easily with the stone that is made to sharpen them, and you can touch up the edges with a carbide V type sharpener. I have some of the Montec heads as well and I might try those next. The B52 heads are extremely tough, all looked like new even after busting bone.

An avid bow hunter to the anal extreme sent me this study about broad head penitration. It was dryer reading than my posts. I was almost afraid to shoot my replaceable blades so I bought some Magnus fixed blades. My second practice shot sent about 10" of shaft through my foam target and the Magnus hit a small maple tree dead center. According to the article it should have stayed straight and penitrated. It went in through the bark and rolled over like tin. I went back to my Thunderhead 100s. I hit a late season doe whitetail smack in the shoulder last year and the broad head exited the chest and bruised the upper leg on the other side before stopping. I could still use the broad head again if I wanted, all blades were still on it but damaged.
