No prickmess taken but it was a major malfunction. The whole dang broadhead snapped off clean. The ferrule sheared off right at the insert. Happened to me once with a Montec and once with a Striker (same cast, pot metal, construction). I have a friend this also happened to with a Montec. It's not an isolated incident. I've read a few other stories where the same thing has happened.
I love the solid one piece, 3 blade, cut on contact design, I think it is the best, but these experiences are what got me looking elsewhere. I found VPA. Same design but fully machined out of one piece of steel. Not cast. Much stronger. Easier to sharpen too. 3 dozen or so animals later and I have no plans of changing.
