I killed my first buck with the sidewinder. I killed a few more since then, but I've switched to tekans. The sidewinders were one and done. That's the only thing I didnt like about them. They do the job.

I second that! I don't think you can go wrong with the G5 Montec. Sharpest head I have ever shot.

i would say by now yours is tuned well enough to hit center mass isn't it? seems your Honda has been through several altercations with deer. are you getting good penetration? how do you resharpen? big grinder wheel? disc grinder? flat file?

The key is sending off a soil sample to see how much lime you need and what fertilizer mix should be applied.

if you are shooting an expandable, you can't go wrong with a RAGE!

I prefer muzzy. You cant go wrong with a blade that already open!

Honestly, I had used the Muzzy 4 blade 100 grain broadheads. I killed one doe with one but penetration was not very good. i am shooting 60lbs and I know the limits and angles of what to shoot.
I wanted something with a bigger cutting diameter and that flies better. The RAGE is also sharper out of the package too.
