G5 Montec Hunting heads

 G5 Montec Hunting Heads

Many moons ago I was hunting with BEAR

twin bladed razor heads (glue on!); but they were a very well constructed one piece (as one piece as they could be back then) broad head of excellent blade design.

 Later I moved on to (because of shear cost of the things having to be imported from the USA) to a no cut out one piece (A one piece blade spot welded to a section to take a shaft end) (but made in Australia) broad head made from blued "clock spring" steel. They didn't look as good but they sure as hell worked great, although they were difficult to sharpen in the field.

 Then later to a 3 bladed head made by a company (???)  calling them a "Bodkin" but this was just a generic name for a cheaper looking version (but still very solid) version of the below arrow heads from G5, ie the G5 Montec.

The G5 Montec is a one piece (well they say this but it isn't really a total one piece as one can see a partial seam in the main body of the head but as far as being defined as a one piece in terms of hunting heads, then it is one piece, ie no screw together blades, no press fit blades.

On this model they do not state if stainless steel or not, the full non cutaway version do state that they are using 420 stainless steel. These heads are made by a process known as MIM (Metal Injection Molding). This is basically a technology which allows complex shapes to be made out of metal. The required metal alloys are incorporated into polymers in order to form a feed stock. This material is then treated as if it were an injection molding raw material,  obviously allowing for processes to melt the metals back into one piece.

Pretty low profile, and probably less wind drag due to the cut away metal. They say they have been tested for spin. Their construction tells me from experience with similar heads tells me that they should be tough and robust.

As the box says, they are indeed extremely sharp, so sharp indeed you could almost get cut holding them in their plastic cover!

They are also available in "Pink" for girls!

and so they should be because many woman like this marketing touch and why not? Despite what the woke media would have us believe, we are indeed XY and XX, fact! So pink it is for the women!

These heads are available in 85 grain, 100 grain 125 grain and special crossbow versions. I'm using 100 grain heads (Just steel colored for blokes LOL) on my 400 grain shafts.

The benefits of the 3 bladed head design such as these, is that they can be sharpened by just about any one, very easily by simply providing a sharpening stone, preferably a silicon carbide on for rapid edge acquisition in the field, by placing two of the edges against a flat stone, and off you go! No need to sharpen them like a knife fr example with two edged heads.
