    Does anyone here use them on there setups? I picked up a 3 pack the other day and they seem like good broadheads But i would like to here from a few other people. One thing that im not sure about is that the blades seem hard to open does anyone have a problem with them not opening when they hit there target?

    When i got the pack open i put on the practice blades and shot a few rounds at the target and they fly just like my field tips wich is cool! but on the 5th shot i pulled my arrow out and the broadhead had broken off!! the stem broke off down in the arrow and now i cant use the arrow and i am out of a broadhead! If i would call in would they replace my broadhead?? I didnt even have them for 30 mins before one broke :(

    Thanks for the reply! Good to hear that they do work :)

    I probally will call in and see if they would replace it for me because its not like i was abusing the head or anything i was just shooting my target like i did 1,000 times before!!

    I shoot them as well

    I had one break one me too but it was user error. Best way to save the arrow is take a wooden match stick and super glue on the end. Once it's glued on unscrew the head. I did that and the arrow is fine

    I don't have a pic but I took a doe last year with one. I could see through the wound, and I never had to look for blood. It was a steady line for the 100 yards she ran.

    These are a good broadhead. Here's a picture of the exit wound off of a doe I shot last year. She only went 15 yards.only thing I didn't like was the spider retention clip.

    back when G5 made the Teken II I shot them every year and loved them. they used the old fashioned oring. I won't buy the new ones with the spider clips. seems like a few people have had a problem with them not opening. I herad there is a youtube video on how to properly set the clip tho. Good luck!

    T3's have been great for me, I have taken a couple deer and a bear with them. Easy tracking!

    My ex boyfriend used the T3's last year and absolutely hated them. It was about a 20 yard shot and he hit it about dead on and the arrow was eventually found, however the mechanical part malfunctioned and it never expanded and we learned this was because of the speed his bow exerts along with the short distance that it never had time to expand to kill the deer...the deer was never found...
