    I have heard some things about g5 t3's having some durability problems. I have heard the ferrules crack and the blades break off. So I decide to put them through hell. I shot them through 3/4 inches of plywood from 15 yards. I was shooting 62 pounds 27 inch draw and a 370 grain arrow. Other than a slightly bent blade and some dulling on the blades it was in great condition.

    I've never had a problem with a T3. Best broad head on the market in my opinion.

    I used to shoot the old Teken II. When they switched to the spider clips I switched to Spitfires. I loved the G5 broadhead. Tough as nails. I will most likely be going back to G5 next season when I need new heads.
