This is my shuttle t-lock after burying into an elks offside rib at 35 yds, didnt do anything to the ferrule and just barely rolled over the sharp parts of the blade! I shot the head just like you see it at 40yds and it still grouped with my other ones. They fly VERY well and if you broadhead tune they meet up with field points very quickly. I recommend them if you like accuracy. I have also heard a lot of good things about slick tricks but have not shot them so I cant comment.

I feel the Shuttle is a good option for almost any setup. I have shot animals in most size category with them from turkeys to Elk @ 70 pounds 29.5" draw.
On the other side, my wife Shannon has shot everything from rock chucks to Zebra with them and has never had a track job over 100 yards. She only shoots 46 pounds with a 25" draw.

I shoot Montec G-5s and they fly great with very little tuning.

+2   I still haven't found a broadhead as accurate out to 50yds. Can't beat a solid 1 piece broadhead for reliability :twocents:

The Shuttle T's have been accurate as far as I can shoot them, or at least as far as I can shoot my field tips without noticing a difference in accuracy.

They're pretty much solid as well.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of these suggestions, the G5 Montecs, the Shuttle T-Locks, and the Slick Tricks.  They all seem to be on the top tier.  :dunno:

Thanks for the input. I am dead nuts at 40 yds with my field tips on a playing card and 3-5 inches left with my broadheads- tried G5 Montecs and Slick Trick Magnums-both 100 grain. Wondering if I should try a 125 grain broadhead to bring the arrow to my field tip- I've tried moving my rest into the bow and my dispersion worsens. I have still yet to try the Shuttle T's. Here's my setup:

Athens Accomplice 34, 70lbs, 29 inch dl, CX Mayhem Hunter 350s.

 :bash:

I have found that a heavier broadhead will help with elevation differences, but I don't think it'll help left or right. On the other hand it never hurts to try.
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.

Going to a 125 will weaken the effective spine of you arrow. From reading your setup I would think you wouldn't want to do that.
I am not familar with the Athens line but it sounds like you have some type of tuning issue. Maybe cam lean or timing? have you shot it through paper or bare shaft tuned it?

You may want to play around with bare shaft tuning a little..
Something is going on there if all broadheads shoot left of your field points
