Nice bow, hey, how do you like the G5's? I have been thinking of switching, I keep fondling them everytime I'm at the store but just haven't put the money in them.

I've used them since they came out about 5 years ago. They are the original heads I bought. I accidently shot one into a steel fencepost once. The shaft disintegrated!! The head however was pulled out, resharpened, and put back on another shaft and is in my quiver today!! They fly great and can be resharpened over and over again. Never lost a blood trail and always get a pass through. What more can you ask for? I've tried a lot of heads over the last 25 years, and these in my opinion are the BEST!!  |

Thats what I wanted to hear. Plus I like the 1 piece concept.

It only makes sense when you think about it. This way you know there are exactly 120* between blades and there can be no human malfunction in assembly. Not only that, but the blades are thicker than conventional BH's. This allows for sturdiness and resharpening without having to buy new blades every year. A lot of people frown at the cost, but seeing how my initial investment was $30 about 5 years ago, and I haven't spent a penny since, the cost is very effective.

You are right, it only makes sense. The cost is what has been holding me back, you can get 6 Muzzy for the same price, but when you factor in the cost of new blades, I've probably spent more. Gonna have to get them.

You may want to put that Review Home page as a sticky somewhere Mike. It comes in handy to most hunters!! Just a suggestion though. |

And a good one. That's what I am looking for. What hunters want to see. I want to put as much info as the server will allow. I figure if I can put what we want that will attract hunters and make this thing grow.

How do they group and fly with your feild points? I can't seem to get my muzzy's to consistently group with my fp's? Might just be me though  |

I have the same problem, there not off much so just a little tweaking and I'm on. But I have been wanting to switch to the G5's for awhile. Might just do it this weekend.

A lot of it has to do with your bow and it being in priooper tuning. Other times it could be the arrow shafts. I've got two different length shafts that I use and the longer of the two group a lot better than the shorter ones. They are both the same shaft!!(CX Terminators.) Let me know a few details and I'll see if I can help you out. Give me arrow length, DW and DL, and grain of BH. Where they group in relation to the field points. And arrow type.

And I'm cutrious about the STS. Does it make as big a difference as I've heard? Any cons to using one?

Mine is the Mathew LX, after owning a Pro Line and a couple Pse's i shot this Mathews and i had to have it. You asked about Blazer vanes?? I shoot them also. i wouldn't trade them for nothing right now!! The only thing i can say is try them you will either love them or hate them. But they do what Bohining says they will do and that is they will control broadhead flight, and they do that well!!
