    The wacem head is very much a COC head no different than the G5 Montec.

    A great deal depends on that. Bow (trad or compound), Draw weight, How you hunt (shot distances), etc

    Excellent post!! My dad and I really got Into this testing stuff 10 or so years ago seeing what penetrated the best. Your results mirrored ours. I've always been about penetration and that's why a one piece COC head will always be on the tip of my arrow regardless of the type of bow I'll be shooting.

    Great Info once again. Ton of work went Into It.

    Great read...thanks for sharing.

    I've shot Muzzy for years now - and have sharped up a few tips - but now may redo them all again:)

    And seeing the Punchcutter brought back some memories...I never did use them, but all my buddies used them our first few years in the mid-90's...man I saw a lot of deer go down to those...

    Great job. I have shot muzzys since they came out new and have been sharpening the tips from day one. The older ones would polish to a mirror finish and I have saved them and put them on the new heads. They seldom get ruined.

    Thanks for justifying my honing of the G5 Stryker tips, I used to think I was just being anal.
