g5 striker 100gr

For me, I agree. They fly good, kill good, and look good.

So being a new bow hunter, a tree stand a good idea for elk/deer???

 Its a mind f$%k for sure but it can pay off if you do it right and have the paitence for it. Its the only way I hunt elk in Sept.
it can be effective But there's something about sneaking in on a group or calling them to you on the ground adds a little more excitement.

For me, I agree. They fly good, kill good, and look good.

Their slot tolerances in the ferrule could be tighter, but if I were to shoot a commercially available head...G5 Stryker would probably be at the top of my list.   First class blade, first class product, first class company!  Would be a tough decision between it and WASP.  However, I would support the good guys every time.  So that puts G5 at the top!

I love the giant hole my Steel Force sabertooth's leave.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

I tried the G5 montec 100s last Season and put one diagonally through my bulls shoulder and out the hind qtr last season. I was pretty impressed,  but I'm sure some lucky placement and the Vector Turbo had a little to do with it aswell.

Just curious why the Wasp people are the bad guys?  I shoot the Boss and love it; can you fill me in on it?

Not so much that WASP guys are bad, though I have a few personal experiences, it's more a case of the Grace family (G5) just being outstanding people.

Hard to cover ground hunting elk in a tree stand.  Deer works well and how well depends on how good your set up location is.
It's a TIKKA thing..., you may not understand.

  treestands can be very productive for elk.  All about location.

It does suk!  However, after tooling up for a similar project I've found modern machining techniques are far more expensive than I had ever imagined.  The new guys increased quality, but at a cost to the consumer.  At least they are delivering...more than I can say for myself at this time >:(

I have had good luck (3 Bulls) with 100gr. Hellrazors

And yes tree stands are effective but it is all about location.
