    I shoot Red Head Gators. Have no problem w/ pass thrus and fly as true as a field point. PLUS they are at least $10 less than whatever broadhead is "all the rage".....

    I second G5 Montecs. I use 100 grain. Made a bad shot on a deer that moved when I was releasing the arrow. The deer was at a steep quartering away angle at 20 yards and I was trying to shoot for the back of the near side ribcage. As I released, the deer (an 8 point) was feeding and took a side step so that the steep quartering away shot became a rear end shot. The arrow penetrated through the deer length ways. It did not exit but was buried to the fletching and broke 2 ribs. I shoot 30 inch arrows so that was at least 28 inches of penetration with enough force left to break ribs. Maybe another broadhead would have produced the same result but as some have said, since it ain't broke, I'm not going to try and fix it. They perform like that and shoot to the same POI as my target points so I am sticking with them.

    I have no issues getting to fly well and had success using: QAD Exodus, True-fire T-1, NAP Hellrazor and Spitfire. Mostly 125 grain for me. No Rages for me or on my hunting property.

    G5 Montecs in 125 gr. Fly great and hit hard. I shot two deer and a turkey with the same broadhead last year and it is still in the quiver this year. Slight touch up and they look great.

    I've been using G5 Montecs the last couple of seasons...they fly great and are basically indestructible. I've shot 4 deer and missed a coyote with them (I have 3) over the last 2 seasons and I am still using all of them. Only downside I have found is that there is not always a ton of blood. However, since all of the deer went down in sight, it didn't really matter anyway.

    The archery shop i use recommended carbon express xt-4. They fly straight and I get a pass through on every deer I've shot with them.
