[Deki10]

do they have to be sharpened right away or after use?

[russ]

As far as I know, they're good to go out of the package.

the ones I got got sure were not when you can run your fingure along the edge and not make a mark . You should be able to shave with them I might go back to my vortex*. The montexs as for sharpening Im not inpressed to thik of blade to get a good edge

There's a link to a video on how to sharpen them on Montec's website if that'll help.

Cooter were the heads black or sliver? If they were black then they are designed for practice.

I have shot G5 montec for years. You will never get them, nor any of the other 1 pc 3 bladebroad heads as sharp as replaceable blade heads due to the angle of the blade when sharpening them on a flat stone. Surgically sharp blades are sharpened at a higher angle making them sharper. They also loose and edge quicker.

I'll trade the very slight difference in sharpness for the benefits of a cut on impact, durability and simple nothing to go wrong design of the montec. I have killed well over 30 animals icluding moose and elk with the montecs. Everyone a pass through, no failures and 5 animals on one head I kept resharpening before I finally lost it.

And I'm not sponsored by them, although I'd love to be and thought I was going to be for a while.

I use the finest wet sandpaper(600?) on a hard flat surface. Easy to sharpen and definately sharper than new.

[BrownBear416]

I only use them once and then turn them into target broadheads so i haven't run into this problem.I really like the g5 and can't see myself using anything else.They have zipped through everything i have shot with them.
