I kind of understand what can and cannot be used for hunting. No, no I don't. I want either Rage or Muzzy. Not sure I understand what is said by DEC in regards to illegal heads. Help me out if you please. Best if you can tell me EXACTLY what to buy. ThanksI have used G5 Montecs, Trocar and currently running through my supply of Rage knockoffs. I really like the montec as long as it passthrough trough and doesn't hit a rock they sharpen right back up to use again.
I bought some G5 clones and have to test them first.
As they stated don't assume broadheads will fly true without testing them. I tried CE pile drives and the spine was way too low for my crossbow and the arrows planed badly with broadheads. Changed to a stiffer arrows and it tightened my flight up Top-Rated Broadheads for Crossbow Hunters
The cheap online broadheads I have used have all worked just fine ---it just pains me to use a $15 broadhead and get one use out of it---I think some of them just come out the backdoor of the same factories in ChinaFixed I prefer Montec G5, thinking of going to Rage Hypodermic mechanical for the crossbow. Have not heard anything good regarding the cheap online available BH’s. Your dime and time applies.
I've stayed with the Muzzy HBX as it is tough as nail. Shot one into mulch for flight testing, then through a doe into the ground, then spined a buck and just slightly bent one expanding blade. It is still useable. Just over 10 each and resharpen after use. .The cheap online broadheads I have used have all worked just fine ---it just pains me to use a $15 broadhead and get one use out of it---I think some of them just come out the backdoor of the same factories in China
Every deer I shot with my xbow was with a G5 and bled profusely. Double lung every time. I found them pretty rugged. I think I reused one 4 times before it went through and hit a tree stump.+1 on this.
I been variably using fixed blade 100gr and 125gr Montec G5s over the last few years. Have absolutely no complaints on performance. Clean pass through every time.
Interestingly enough, last year I switched over to G5 Megameats (mechanicals). They were ridiculously more devastating than the G5 Montecs, which is not surprising given the 2" deployed diameter, but they're a good bit less durable (not likely getting 4 shots on one). Blood trails were heavier and the tracking was a lot shorter compared to comparable shots.Every deer I shot with my xbow was with a G5 and bled profusely. Double lung every time.

I had a bad season and a half with the original Rages, including two really nice bucks. The shots were good shots too. The only deer I recovered was a doe that I spined.I've had no problem using Rage. If you catch them on sale, the 3 packs are as low as $20-25.
I should clarify, I use the rage extremes, with the little blade on the tip. And use the crossbow collar.I had a bad season and a half with the original Rages, including two really nice bucks. The shots were good shots too. The only deer I recovered was a doe that I spined.
I know they've been improved since those early days and are fine now. I'll never be able to trust them though, and I love Shwackers. Almost every deer I've shot with them has died within my eye-sight. A true testament to their lethality.I should clarify, I use the rage extremes, with the little blade on the tip. And use the crossbow collar.
I also take them apart and clean everything after a shot, and replace the blades if they're bent. I've shot about 10-12 deer with these, no issues with any.

It would help to know what exactly DEC is, and then what they said.I kind of understand what can and cannot be used for hunting. No, no I don't. I want either Rage or Muzzy.
