Montecs, Shuttle T, Muzzy....all proven. Find ones you like, shoot 'em and tune 'em, get to hunting.
Montecs are mold injected from my understanding and are subject to weak spots and inproper weight balance. Plus the way the tips are designed they suck in air durring high speeds through the channels in between the blades and create whistling. :dunno: Im no expert by any means though.

I have not experienced any whistling or break down in blades. Also, I've only shot a couple critters with them so my experience is limited compared to some. I'll be shooting them again this upcoming season for bear and deer.

Injection molding is incorrect, I believe. That process is typically for plastics and composites. Cast, forged, etc...maybe. Those process' can cause mechanical failures. Shooting them into flesh and bone is the ONLY true gauge of performance. Like I stated earlier, I am looking for broadheads with the best terminal performance. Please keep us posted on these suggested broadheads performance. I am very much interested. Thank you again.

Muley...

My best experiece with my Montecs was the last muley doe I shot. It was a point blank....maybe 15 or 20 feet....straight on shot. I hit her right in the brisket, center punched the heart at a slight angle, went through her left lung, and was hanging out of her by the fletching just past the last rib. She went eight hops with puddles of blood at each landing point. I was shooting a 30ish inch draw Darton at 65lbs. Sorry but I don't remember my arrow lenght or weight. 100gr head. The broadhead could be cleaned up and used again. It looks perfect.
