Sonic 125gr flies like a field tip for me.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

When everything is right there are a lot that fly with field points.

I have been shooting the G5 Montec the last few years and once my bow is tuned with field points I haven't had to change anything for the Montecs.  Super tough head also!

True. Like Magnus stingers, Montec's, thunderheads. All fly well when bow is tuned

I use woodsmen elites... fly perfect.  However as said before any broadhead should fly the same as your field points if tuned properly.

I didn't make any adjustments from field tips to broadheads shooting standard 100 grain slick tricks.
I think as long as your bow is dialed in, you should find the same results with any good quality head.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

As long as your bow is property tuned and set up, they all should. I've used Montecs and Muzzy 3-blades and both flew just like field points.

Slick tricks and G5 Strikers.  I have to spend a little extra time to tune Muzzy's and Innerlocs but can usually get them close.

for the most part, all of them do if your bow is tuned correctly.   Muzzy's have worked for me for many years.

I've used Wasp, Montecs, Thunderheads, SteelForce, and now SlickTricks.  All flew well when properly tuned to the bow. 

Currently the SlickTricks were shooting about 1 1/2" out of the bull, but were all grouping nicely in the same spot.  A little sight adjustment and shootin' out the center consistently! 

I had issues with the Montecs attempting to get them to fly straight.  I couldn't get them to group consistently at all at first.  A lot of messing around with the bow and arrows got them to fly right, but what a pain in the A**!  They worked well, killed a deer, and an impala and a couple monkeys, when I went to Africa. 

I'm not impressed with their SS one piece heads though.  They don't resharpen worth a hoot, and if you get a nick or bend the point they're never the same.  They were never sharp enough for my liking though.  Also I had one break after making a bad shot on a deer, shot him in the spine.  I know, spine shots are hard on broadheads, but testing all my new broadheads on 3/4 plywood, this is the first that broke on me.  Maybe just a fluke though...

That said, replaceable blades are sooooo nice ;D Easy to re-sharpen!  ;)
