When looking at the Magnus “ I think it’s gone do something funky” I just LOL’ed because I knew from experience it was gone be money. Magnus fly great.
I thought the exact same thing. 150 stingers all day baby.
Magnus are far and away the best flying fixed blade heads I've seen. I've been shooting two blade stingers for 5 seasons now and love them.
I shot a doe with a buzzcut a few weeks ago got about a 3/4 pass though. she ran about 50 yrds. The razor sharp head just shredded her insides and she ran off.
I shoot Magnus buzz cut stinger 4 blade on hoggs and it works like a champ.
I'm also a magnus lover. Used them for years until iron will won me over. Def a fantastic BH!
Currently using the 125 black hornet non-serrated. Shot very close to my field tips. Not saying I did it, but if you were to bury a broadhead at 45 yards into the woodshed framing and broke the ferule trying to get it out, they will cover that under their lifetime warranty. Couldn't get it out, it was buried too deep. Again, not saying I did that.
I used the exodus swept on my buck this year and its the head I'll be using from now on. Perfect triangle that stays open. Blood flow was phenomenal.
After you've shot a target, the Montec can be re-sharpened on a flat fine diamond stone ,that's what I like about them
The only thing in my experience that can ruin a Montec is a rock. I got a pass through into a root ball and even that didn't destroy the broadhead. A passthrough into a dry creek bed did curl the tip a little but I was able to sharpen it out and reuse it.
You should test the Muzzy 100gr Traditional 4-Blade. I’ve been shooting Muzzy 4-Blades since the 1980’s and they’ve never failed. Last fall I shot my elk with my 409gr arrow at 110 yds and got a total pass through. And they hit point of aim to 130 yds. right along side my field points… I don’t think you’ll be disappointed…
Ballsy taking a 110yd shot on an animal. I wouldn't take a shot at anything past 65yds to many factors come into play that far. To each their own I suppose.
I switched to the slicktrick this year, very happy with how well it flies. Very little broadhead tuning needed from 30 yards.
Iv shot g5 Montec for 15 years. Most reliable and I personally have harvested 2 deer with the same broadhead without sharpening for the second use of it . But I never knew you could lay them flat to sharpen them ha
Let's Goo Chris! We've been looking forward to this one
For bh performance reviews I highly recommend John Lusks videos. His process is very consistent and detailed, and every test serves a purpose. Although your tests are fun and entertaining, which I suppose is the real intent, I think it your bh comparison didnt yield any substantial results. But then again, your BH choice doesn't matter much if you put the arrow where it needs to go.
Yes Lusks’ reviews are excellent.
yes sir! best broadhead reviewer on the internet! He is why i now shoot SEVR 2.0 broadheads lol
Thanks mate, appreciate your time
I use a cheaper version of the G5 Montec and I love how easy it is to sharpen. I’ve always gotten pass throughs even if I hit a rib. If you sharpen it right it will go through anything. Even the scapula
Magnus has been my go-to this year broadheads. Best thing I like about them besides they fly awesome, is the warranty they offer. Any damage you email them a picture and they send you a new broadhead in the mail. Honestly don't know any other company that does that.
I shot the Magnus last year and had great success. They flew good, spin tested good, only thing they are a little noise in flight. I did sharpen them before I went hunting, I had the same issue as you. Great job keep up the great work.
QAD do replacement blades too, for a fraction of the cost.
I literally watched your mechanical broadhead video this morning then you drop this! Perfect timing lol
Really enjoying these tests, keep it up. I went from Ramcat to QAD, love both but the durability of the QAD won me over
I've been researching fixed blades for a while. Can't afford buying a boxful of different ones to try, so I've decided to go with QAD Exodus. They usually finish pretty decent in most tests I've seen. They're a LOT of quality fixed blades to choose from these days, to the point we're splitting hairs between the top brands on performance it seems. A lot more complexities involved in mechanicals, which is one reason I avoid them altogether; my fixed blades are already "deployed" before they leave the arrow rest. Some people swear by mechanicals, others swear AT them. To each his own. My 80 year old father arrowed a small buck last week with a Thunderhead 125 that's probably killed a dozen deer or more over the years. He's tight as bark on a tree, he'll just sharpen the blades and put it back in the quiver. I doubt there's many mechanicals that have gotten into double-digits on deer with just routine sharpening, but I could be wrong, I'm not an authority on broadheads, but I have been using them for over 40 years now.
Great video as usual. Main point here from Chris is tune your bow and use helical fletch. When you do they all “fly like field points” I’d use any of these but fond of something I can sharpen. Thanks Chris. Can’t wait see your hunts this year.
What do you use and sharpen? I’m leaning towards a 3 blade or 2 blade because I also want to be able to sharpen.
I'd like to see you test the Annihilator XL 100grn broadheads. Lusk Archery Adventures did and excellent video review and test but I'd be interested to see what you think of them.
Always a great day when he posts a video
You should do a temu broad-head video!!
I love the g5 montec but I always sharpen them myself out of the box
The montecs are nice yes they rather dull out the box but they are easy to sharpen. Take 15 minutes and run em over some stones and they will stay sharp
I love the iron will single blade. They fly straight, easy to sharpen, easy to tune
When I switched from mechanical to fixed I found the hornet ser razor to be my favorite. Flew really good, blade thickness/structural integrity was nice. First year I ran it through a super mature buck hard quartering away. Put it last rib and it came out right behind the shoulder. Was a little worried I only got one lung with that hard angle but he only ran about 60 yds. I recently switched to the tuffhead Evo 3 blade because I didn't like the loud buzzing noise in flight of all the vented heads. Plus it is easy to sharpen like you showed with the montec. I have a set of 4 small diamond stones in diff grits that I keep in my hunting crate. If I ever need to ReSharpen it is super easy
Do you get a good triangular wound from the tuffhead?
@austinhall5933 so I actually haven't shot anything with it yet. I moved to Qatar. Been here for a year.will be here another 2. Flew back for a week last season and shot a deer but it was with a rifle bc I needed my meat for the year. Processed it myself and brought it back here to the middle east lol. I'm going to be back down in texas for 3 weeks this time so I'm hoping to try to get it done with my bow so I'll let you know how the tuffhead works out
“You got the dead meat in the lead because the way that it is.” I love it haha You can tell it’s an aspen because the way that it is.
that's pretty neat.
I’ve really enjoyed my iron wills and QAD Exodus. I used the standard blade exodus last year and blew through a big white tail. This year I’m using the Exodus swept blade. They fly even better than the standards which fly incredible. I could have probably just used the standards again this year. They’re still in great shape and sharp. For 40 bucks a pack, why not try others? I highly recommend them if you can’t or prefer not to spend big money on iron wills. Cool test @Chris Bee
I love the Exodus, everytime I try something different I always come back.
I think those two are the best avaliable
Id be interested to see if there was any performance differences between the serrated and un serrated magnus
Exodus alllll day 🔥
From AU Enjoyed the video very informative after my first fallow deer already have the slick trick so will see how they go
Out of these id take the exodus every single time
Been shooting Exodus for years and while they can be picky when it comes to tuning, they've always stood out in almost every other important department. I've tested about 20 different broadheads over the years (roughly 10 fixed and 10 expandable) and kinda lost trust on expandables for whitetails
I grew up shooting magnus stingers. They’re awesome. I’m shooting iron will single bevels now and idk if I’ll go back. They shoot great out of my bow out to 110!
_Great Video!_ _That plywood test tho!🤣🤣_
G5 is definitely my go to. Ive tried a large variance of broadheads over the years and have had the best results from the g5. And it can be re used without changing blades, just wet stone the edges a little and go again.
Hey Chris. What rangefinder and binoculars do you recommend for bowhunting and 3d archery shooting?
I hit the far rib on a quartering away shot on a whitetail deer with Montec. The arrow did not pass through, and the tip was curled over 1/8”. Dead deer, no problem but wondered what the result would be if I had hit the near side rib on the entrance side? I switched to QAD since the hardened tip looks like it would split a rib and not curl over. I also honed all the Montec’s right out of the package to bring them to razor sharpness just to be safe. The QAD blades right out of the package were razor sharp. Great video Chris, thanks for the comparison!
Good choice my friend the exodus will be my head for life!
I’m newer to archery and hunting, and I want to say your content is awesome. Would you recommend any places to shoot around Grand Rapids?
Can you do cut on contact single bevel ones for the next round? Tuffheads, cutthroats, VPA. Really enjoying the videos thanks Chris!
Chris you should try VPA broadheads instead of the Montecs. Lancaster actually sales them now.
Hey what up man. Been watching your vids for a little while now and has helped me shoot way better than i used to. Can we get a trophy room tour????? Also why your boy standing so zesty 🤣🤣🤣
Been archery hunting for 10 years now, shot 7 whitetail, 3 elk and 2 bears with the montechs. Never even sharpened one until this year. My longest blood trail was 250 yards
Check out Annihilator and Annihilator xl broadheads of 7 deer my longest blood trail has been 45 yards!! Super durable!!
One thing you didn’t mention about the magnus broad heads is they have a lifetime no BS warrantee. If you bend or break or damage it in any way beyond repairable they will replace it no questions. Best value for your money in my opinion. Would have been nice for you to discuss the MSRP as well or cost per broadhead. Otherwise well done.
Shot the Slick Trick last year on one of my bucks. had a vertical cut from the top to the bottom of the entry side lung. He went maybe 20 yards
Thank you!!! So great to see.
When does ballistic gel season start? I'm so pumped!
Looking forward to a Kaitlyn M recipe, LOL
You need to invest in a blade sharpness tester if you are going to continue to compare the sharpness of broadheads.
very interesting .well done really enjoyed .thank you
Have shot magnus for 2 years now only complaints they are loud in flight and not a whole lot of blood to trail. Currently trying hydroshocks this year and hoping I get better performance and more of a blood trail then magnus.
The G5 Stryker is the sharpest broad that I have used. The G5 Montec is probably most accurate I have used. I have found any fixed blade broadhead will fly if you have 100grs of brass up front🤣 You should try the grim reaper 1 3/8 razor tip with blades in the open position. That’s what I’d use. Blades won’t dull in the quiver, they fly great for me in the open position.
G5 is all one piece, they sharpen real easy and if you buy the carbon they are very sharp and sharpen better. I've passed through and drove them in the dirt and rocks, no damage. They shoot excellent, great on a quarter shot, and on feathers like turkey.
I've used 3 of those over the years. Montec, Slicktrick, and the Magnus Black Hornets. Hands down, my favorite between them is the Magnus. They fly great, cut big, are made of a carbon steel instead of stainless (means it can take a better edge and hold it better) have the second best blood trail of any broadhead I've used and I've never had a whitetail go more than 50 yards out of the 9 that I've taken with it. By the way, I've used the same blade to take all 9 of those deer. 2 ferrules, but the same blade, just reshaped. The Slicktricks were great, but I broke a blade. Personally, that is unacceptable. The positive of the slicktricks is that they have consistently left the best, most consistent blood trails I've ever gotten. Big 2 blade expandables included. My experience with the Montecs is that the indeed flew the best, and was the easiest broadheads to tune. However, the are the dullest broadhead I've ever bought and lose their edge very quickly. The dull broadhead left much to be desired when it comes to a blood trail
They make a carbon montec too! A piece of 1000-1500 grit sandpaper and 5-7 strokes per edge will have them razor sharp in 2 minutes!!!
@@NEFARIOUS_B.I.G. Good to know! To be honest, I shot the Montecs back when they first came out. I haven't looked into anything G5 since my experience with the Montecs. If I ever look to going back to a 3 blade design, I'll definitely look into the carbon steel version.
Very cool test, what fixed blade did you use on your elk in Montana?
He said that he used a Grim Reaper,. Weight ???
I loved the QAD, but they were hard to find back then. Which made getting some while on the road hard at times.
Magnus and slick tricks hard to beat either. I’d run and trust both and have. Great heads Magnus gets the slight nod with the warranty tho.
U should do a review on the Amazon bow the sanlida dragon x8
Very funny how many times you remarked on the grim reaper being so tiny.. when it has THE EXACT SAME cutting diameter as your beloved dull montec😂
Also it was the micro hades pro. Which is 1 1/16 vs 1 3/16 of the hades pro.
@@Dziuky08 correct, but the montec is also 1 1/16"
Shot 9 does last year with the 125 grain Exodus....unbelievable results. Broke bones went through shoulders, zero damage. Super sharp on my Sharp Bess tester. Shot 5 deer with slick trick, they ran a lot further with less blood then the Exodus. My buddy shot a few deer with montec...pretty dull out of the package.
😊😊😊😊😊
Ive shot slick tricks at a lot of game, they do some damage and fly very well. Ive not lost an animal yet to them from mule deer to elk.
Why not add more helical to your three fletch, rather than adding another fletching?
Do this test again with single bevels
Chris would you do a review on annihilator Broadheads? Look legit seen other videos of them being indestructible. I’m curious of the flight long range and how they hold up.
Shot a doe at 7 yards Saturday and I’m dumb so I hit high (forgot to compensate for the angle) and blasted through the scapula. The arrow angled down into the heart. It was a mechanical btw 475 grains at 260ish fps
Have you tried the evolution outdoor hybrid broadhead Hyde?
Would you be apposed to testing the rage 4 blade extreme? Looks like a nice broadhead and Been looking into trying them but skeptical on how they would fly and compare to the megameat.
Chris are the G5 BMP field point’s different from the Montec to the Deadmeat? They definitely look different… was curious
They fly ballisticlly the same as their broadhead
Exodus hands down!
Try a Trocor next time interested to see how the offset design does.
Interesting that the downrange group was better on the fixed blades than the mechanicals.
I’ve used the QAD exodus broadhead on a whitetail doe at 11 yards. It was a good size cut.
Same on a buck, beautiful pyramid of death on both sides of him. Dropped in 20
Just crushed a doe with exodus in pa she ran 40 yards. Quartering to. Went in lungs and off side hole had intestine coming out. And buried in the dirt.
11 yards? why didn't you just pull out your knife and stab the thing.
Chris - what about something like an Iron Will or Cutthroat? Or Single Bevel vs Double Bevel?
Slick Trick when they had German blades were insane. First broad head that made me think about buying a broad head wrench. If you handled them on any level you would just start bleeding.
Do the gel test at 20 or 30 yards
Are you making a video of New Mexico elk hunt?
No, he hates making money... Jk. It just happened dude. Give them time to work their magic
@@jackbuendgen389 should be a good video can’t wait for the pronghorn aswell
Montecs, along with other solid 3 blade broadheads, have a 30 x 30 degree bevel which is not as sharp as a replaceable blade. G5 Striker V2s and Slick Tricks have German Lutz blades made in Solingen Germany. These blades are scalpel sharp and blood trails are incredible.
Agreed! The G5 100 gr is my go to. And never failed me.
The montec G5 did not do well in the sharpness test because it's a 65 or a 45 degree angle i forgot but ive done this test to. like a 17 degree angle blade like a grim reaper will do better, Chris also said in the video that "the thinness of the blades helps in this" you are right
60. All the angles have to add up to 360
They are all good. Hard to find a bad head from reputable company’s
What target are you shooting into? Been looking for a good target to shoot broadheads into. Bought a few but they either get destroyed really quick, or impossible to get the arrow out of.
You should have tried the magnus stinger
I used my nephew's bow that I had set up with a bunch of my spare parts to hunt grouse and because its only set to like... 18lbs I couldn't use my g5 SGH so I used the slick tricks, obviously not a killer test when it's a small bird but they did the job well. However they definitely need that ability to replace blades cause they didn't hold up super sweet 😅
Hey I’m going on my first bow hunt soon is there anything I should know before I do
I’ve been shooting Muzzy 1’s for awhile and think you should review them!
Another vote for Magnus here. They fly great. Really make things easy
Is there a Big Difference between 100gr. broadhead & 125gr. broadhead accuracy wise???? Which do you prefer on your whitetail setup???
Try out the Afflictor k2 fixed
Just shot a pig with an oz cut hurricane 3 blade single bevel that’s 1 1/8” he only went 25 yards, I honestly think with fixed blades shot placement is paramount to cutting diameter, and as long as its sharp it will work. Great blood trails are easy with any sized broad head if you shoot the heart.
Annihilators for me, gotta try some- SHARP
You should test the kudus, they’re fixed blades but haven’t seen very much content out there yet. They fly good for me killed my bull double lung pass through at 65 yards
This will be my first season using the g5 montec
Check out ozcut broadheads they are super tuff and have cool packaging 😂
I can promise yall. You wont go wrong pickin up the ser razor 125s.
Thoughts on the montec vs the montec cs? The cs seem to group a lot better for me.
I have the montec CS, and I love them! Watch me shoot a deer with them this deer season on the Kansas Outdoors KZhead channel.
@@KansasOutdoors1387 I’ll watch you if you watch me?
@chrisbee shouldve tried the ramcats
I switched to the montec this year. I'm a believer now. The blood loss was my biggest surprise. Would recommend this broadhead to anyone
So do you suggest fix blade , or mechanical for whitetails?
Even though I no longer hunt, back when I started in the early 80's I shot fixed 3 blades and always sharpened them no matter what. It was a pain, but I never took anything out of the package I didn't have to mess with. Just my curios nature I guess. If you don't want to spend the time to make sure the part that does the killing is as good as it can be, then maybe you should consider spending your time doing something other than hunting.
How do you compere the G5 Comet with the V2? Is the V2 the successor of the comet....
Great video Chris, I'd pick the G5s just due to the one piece design and ease of sharpening. Those blades are not sharp at all! My pocket knife will slice through paper like nothing. I do touch up my blades with a ceramic stone right out of the package, after all we owe it to the animal to take them as quickly and humanely as possible.
Just bought my first set of broadheads love these videos
Should do a test or explain why people like heavy arrow vs light arrow
