When I first switched to and used the G5 Montec, I admit I didn't put the best shot on a 6x6 bull and hit him a little forward directly in the shoulder, broadside. Granted it was only 15 yards, but it punched straight through not only the near-side shoulder, both the opposite shoulder as well. The arrow didn't pass through, but the broahead did (leaving a perfect Y in the hide on the exit side). The arrow broke in half in the bulls chest cavity and sucked the half with the broadhead back in as he tried to run. I thought it had passed through, but found the 2 halves of the arrow when we quartered him him (the back half in the chest cavity and the broadhead half in that opposite shoulder).
The bull ended up dying, half tangled in a nearby fence he couldn't jump, about 30 yards downhill from where he was initially hit.
The bones in both shoulders were broken, but the broadhead was reusable...all it needed was to be resharpened.
Most any other broadhead would have had broken blades, and or a bent ferrule, jacked up tip, etc.
And no, I'm not sponsored by G5 or anybody else...I wish.
Oh yeah: these things fly excellent at longer ranges too. I attribute it to the 1-piece design being so well balanced. Every arrow in my quiver spins just as well as the next.
