    I've been using 2 blade Rages for a couple years now and I think i'm gonna try the G5 T3's this year. I like the way they are constructed. and I like that they have 3 blades

    I have the g5 and i think it performs very nice, it has the accuracy of a field point no doubt! Definitely would recommend it!

    I used the G5 T3s this year. Heckuva hole and he fell within sight even with the badly placed shot that wasn't entirely my fault.

    I have no experience with the T3’s but I have been shooting the Grim Reapers for the last 3 ½ seasons. I hope this doesn’t come back to bite me in the butt:(, but I have never hit a deer with a reaper and not recovered it (not all were perfect shots either), I’ve yet to have a head malfunction, and every deer I’ve shot has been recovered within 100yrds. I shoot the 1.5” cut; I will warn you that a 3 blade 2” cut on the whitetail special takes some serious kinetic energy to push through a deer.

    I've had malfunctions with both heads. I shot 3 deer with the reapers, the third deer the head didn't expand until inside the cavity which made the entrance hole small.

    I shot 4 deer with the T3s, and really liked them until the 4th deer. I shot the buck at about 20 yards out of a stand and the broad head hit center of body, but slid on the ribs 3" down before entering the cavity.

    If I had to choose between the two I'd pick the T3s.

    Ive shot g5 t3s since they came out and i love them there are constructed so well and have no rubber bands or no reverse sliding blades they have unbeileveable penatration and devastation almist everyone is a conplete pass thru with a great wide cut and lovely blood trails i would try these they are great and there not long like most heads nice abd short like a feild point they fly exactly like feild points no doubt ive shot deer out to 60 yards with these and they flew great and worked flawlessly i also like i can put more or less tension on the blades to make them open sooner or later try them there awesome.

    I just bought some grim reapers to use this fall, wondering if I should take back and get the t3s

    T3 all the way. Stainless steel one piece ferrule & rear deployment are big advantages.

    Shot 6 deer with t3's. They work well. I'm sure either broadhead is fine.

    never shot a deer with the reapers, but I bought 4 packs 2 seasons ago and the QC was non existent. At least 1 head in every pack had poor fitting/blade tolerances. I also just could not get them to fly to same point of impact w/ the practice head. I ended up going with another maker completely. I really wanted to like them due to the design and the fact that I spent over $120 dollars on them, but could not in good conscience shoot one at a deer.

    No experience with the G5 T3, but G5 in general has a very good reputation.

    Out of those two i'd choose the T3's. Got a buddy who uses them....they leave a huge blood trail from what I have seen.

    Reapers are okay. But the 2inchers have issues because the springs not strong to hold the blades solid. But if its tunes its a good head. I shot a doe with it and it was a red carpet. For garantee accurate to tips.id say g5t3

    I used the t3 this year and my buck dropped dead within 30 yards. I wont use anything else, they shoot just like my field tips.
