Title: G5 Montec - Whistling Issues???
Post by: h2ofowlr on September 02, 2009, 06:06:50 PM: I threw on some new G5 Montecs and were practicing with them and noticed some of them had a whistling sound going down range. Has anyone else noticed this or hear of it. Is there any way to get them to quite down or do you have to go with a different broadhead?

I took two elk in 2007 with the same broadhead

Post by: MtnMuley on September 04, 2009, 03:02:05 PM: I shoot 100 grain montecs, and had never noticed the whistling being any different than other broadheads. I stuck my bull last year at 5 yds, so there wasn't much time to hear a whistle, just a thwack!

I never had an issue killin anything with the old ones but i am a big fan of the CS. There is a bear and a buck with little halos floating around that will let you know the CS montecs kill just fine.
