I work for G5 and there is a reason behind the bending of the blades. With long blades, they will either break or bend. We designed them to bend so that it still cuts as it goes through the animal and doesn’t stop when it hits bone. If you want to use the broadhead for more than one harvest, we have replacement blades to help save money. Thanks for the review and good luck this season!
Good to know, thanks for the information. Looking forward to seeing what they do for me in the woods this year compared to others. Good luck to you as well!
It's not going to cut anything if the blade edge is rolled or not sharp. vitals and the nerves and arteries are kind of elastic. so, if it isn't keeping itself cutting hair sharp it's not gonna be as lethal, not causing a bunch of damage due to the fact it's a blunt object pushing tissue out the way. A cut on contact that stays sharp will hemorrhage and slice and dice what's in its path and cause way more damage than a broadhead that fails to keep a sharp edge. Yall do what you think is best but be a responsible bow hunter, you owe it to the animal to lethally and quickly kill them.
40 years of bow hunting and years of shooting fixed blades. I have learned that accuracy is number 1. Large wound number 2 Yes they get destroyed but I know going in. One shot one kill. I use fixed blade heads for hogs and does. But if I’m going in with a big buck in mind it’s a megameat on my arrow. 20 dollars is nothing in comparison to what I spend hunting so I want to be sure. Accurate and damaging
Could be commented already, but megameat does have replaceable blades for $20 (9 blades for 3 per head). Technically, if you destroy blades its only $6 out instead of the $20/head. Which to me, after being shot, I would just replace the blades even if they looked good after before using again for an animal. Similar to sharpening a fixed.
My son and I just switched from the Montec to Megameat. We were getting a decent blood trail with Montec. After one weekend of the Megameat…we are hooked. Great blood trail…looks like a murder scene…and deer don’t go far. We hunt near a lot of swamps in FL and I prefer a good blood trail and deer to not go far.
I would definitely stick with the montec just to feel more confident going in. I wouldnt be too upset with losing a broadhead to damage as long as the animal was successfully harvested but could get expensive to get tuned in without a practice tip. Good luck to all out there this season!
I was pretty skeptical about mechanicals but I will say I doubled up on 2 pigs, one after the other, and the damage it did to the pigs was unreal and completely changed my mind. It actually anchored the second where it was hit. Yes, I did have to change out the blades but the ferrules were perfectly fine and for me this was acceptable. If you don't want to worry about changing blades after every animal then fixed blades might be better but even they have a finite amount of times they can go through an animal before needing to be replaced. End of the day, placement is always king, the megameat just gives a little more room for error.
Great tests! I like the shots into the ribs as we don't see shots on actual meat and bone as often as we'd like with broadheads. This is important because as hard as we try to miss bone it often happens and some broadheads work better than others when they encounter bone and then must still pentrate additional meat
As a new hunter this is proof enough to confirm my belief that a fixed blade is superior to a mechanical. I also like the idea that a fixed blade is better value if it can be reused and even sharpened easily new out of the package, if you want that extra razor sharp edge
One of the most realistic tests I’ve seen. Thanks for taking time and money to make a video and shooting something other than a brick or ballistic gel.
So first, the “Broadhead “ MM is not destroyed the blades are and can be replaced. What matters is the blades are still in tact. Unlike rage and other mechanicals where blades are ripped off and cannot be replaced a lot of times. Me personally I would shoot the DeadMeat v2. Or the montec
I’d stay away from the v2 unless your getting speeds above 425 ft per second due to having a more robust collar for that reason so if under those speeds might not open 100 percent of the time
I swear by the deadmeat and mega meat broadhead. With approximately 15 deer between the two, I’ve never had blades do that. There straight dirty to deer. I haven’t had one get away from them. What sold me is a few years back a shot a doe and she crashed just out of sight. it was the first one of the year so I wanted to follow the blood trail. Couldn’t find much blood it was there but not out both sides. Get up to her and it took a chunk of her lung and was clogging the exit, right then I was sold.
Thanks for testing. I will stick with G5 fixed blades. As for sound, I could not detect much or any real differences. The fixed blade certainly did not make more noticeable noise for me.
I have personally killed 3 deer with a megameat and I will never use anything else. They deployed everytime, and the blood trails have been absolutely devastating. I have yet to have a deer run more than 30 yards with a megameat
Also loved the target cam, its impressive how much noise an arrow actually makes! I heard a slightly louder dinstinct woosh and a delay of impact on the mechanical. The fixed blade seemed to hit quicker once I heard it and the field tip was the quietest
Shot a doe with the g5 megameat a week ago. Went through the facing lung fine but caught the rear shoulder as the way it was quartered. The broadhead came through that shoulder and the arrow fell out thirty yards away. Absolute destruction, very impressed
ive been using the g5 3 blade deadmeat since they were the t3 back in the day lol and never lost a deer or broke a blade but they r also only meant to be shot once then replace the blades its part of the design but at least it didnt break like the rage blades lol
I quit using the Megameat because of the bent blades! I went to the Magnus Stinger 4 blade 125gr8 and no more bent blades! Since straight blades cut better than bent blades and arrow flight is just as good it was a no brainer! And I can just resharpen the Stingers so I always have a quiver full of exceptionally sharp broadheads.
the tip itself is still good and I believe they sell replacement blades. get 9 blades for 20. I will admit this was an odd video seeing a mathews shooting G5 instead of rage. But if you shot and lost deer because the rage don't open on impact.. we know why you switch to G5. now if we can just get you to throw the mathews out this would be top video.. well don't waste the ribs,, maybe catch and cook video next time!!
the longer the blades the weaker they are that's physics so i get how the megameat got wacked but they are rebuildable that's a plus side , iam trying the deadmeats for the first time in my life this year also first time in my life hunting turkey and deer so crossing fingers the deadmeats hold up otherwise ill be on the search for better broadheads my self
Huge fan of the slick tricks myself. Just took a mule deer using a slick trick viper trick broadhead. Ran 50 yards and fell over. Only thing I’ll say is the blood trail will never be as good using a fixed blade vs mechanical.
Get it all tuned up, ready to go, see a giant buck, get excited, torque the shit out of your bow as you punch that trigger like Rocky Balboa……then what?
To me the broadhead did its job, both of them and anyone that buys mechanical broadheads and expects them to last pass through after pass through and re use is expecting too much. I have made simple Rage hypos last after several deer harvests. But To me they both did what they were supposed to do. I shot Montecs for years before going single bevel, phenomenal head.
Sevr does the same thing they allow the blades to bend so it does not snap. Same way a copper jacket maintains a bullets integrity so it mushrooms and does not disintegrate.
I've shot the Montec's and they are good heads. For mechanicals I shoot Swhacker for just the reason you've illustrated here. The way they are designed only the tip and 1" wing blades cut through the ribs on the entrance side. The main blades open once past the ribs and slice and dice all the insides and leave a huge exit hole if it's a pass through. Plus are a little cheaper than those mega meats. So far 2 for 2 with them and no tracking needed.
Yo bro go with the mega meats I promise you won’t regret it. And as far as the mega meat blades go there meant to be replaced. They literally sell a blade and collar kit for the super cheap price it’s the head that you gotta worry about damaging and as it’s American steel it’s tough as nails o have mega meats that have been thru three different deers same head same blades. After three I replace them so as not to dull. And I am using crossbow so there is a bit of difference in the build of the heads for crossbow and vertical
I’ll take the 2” cutting diameter and buy new blades. Even though your Montec survived the arrow didn’t. Small fixed blades don’t absorb as much energy and I’ve trashed many fixed blade heads on deer because I hit rock or trees on a pass through. Deer die from massive hemorrhage in archery kills. So, I’ve shot mechanical heads since 2008 and never looked back. Good test and content though.
I shoot both the G5 Montec as well as the Mega Meat. The Montecs are extremely durable, fly great, and have always done a great job. The Mega Meats are absolutely devastating! The blood trails are incredible and the holes are absurd! The only down side is the blades need replaced usually after killing a deer, but that is to be expected with most, if not all, mechanicals. I’ve never had the actual ferrule of the Mega Meat be damaged though so the blades are able to be replaced and keep going.
Well said! I shot a doe this year already and for the first time ever I used a mechanical...the Megameat. I agree with your comment 100%. The damage was insane and it was a complete pass through with a 2.5-3" exit hole with more blood than I've seen in years. I was very impressed.
The Sevr broadheads don't get destroyed like most mechanicals. That being said it seems unethical to shoot something that has a higher chance of failure after just passing through ribs. I will stick with one piece cut on contact heads because they never fail.
@KillingStuffWithJosephJackson It is personal preference until you find one mangled or it fails and you lose a deer to it. Speaking from experience, mechanical heads all have the potential to fail, but solid one-piece heads do not. Just 30 years of experience to lean on, but the KISS method works for nearly everything.
Nice video... hope to win that bow so i can go bow hunting.. seam to me the fix arrow head works best and the meat grinder 3 blade made the most sound for the deer lol keep up the awsome work
I shoot fixed blades through my Mathews VX3 but tried G5 Megameat's through my Tenpoint and they were absolutely devastating. It shot through the front shoulder and ribs completely passing through and massive blood trail. The blades were destroyed but there was no tracking needed. I only use it for one harvest anyway. Pictures if needed.
I have broken shoulder and upper leg bone multiple times over several years of hunting with wasp jack hammers and killed every single deer hit in the shoulder with them. I've had them go through the shoulder and into the opposite shoulder no problem.
I shoot ravin r10 with a rage crossbow x never had an issue an almost every deer I shoot drops instantly I’ve never had to track more than 20 yards maybe luck?
I've used all kinds of broadheads now. I liked the t3 but lost a nice buck. Switched to the montec no blood trails. Went to a rage chisel tip and yes a broken blade it also cut through 2 ribs on entry and cut off 3 ribs on the off side. I've gone to the striker and montec and I've got 2 tracking dogs now
I put a Montec through an 8.5 year old 300# KS buck it cut through ribs like paper. Straight through, quartering and still stuck in the ground. It was Married to FMJ and 65#'s 25" draw.
💚 from Salford uk , keep up the grate content mate loveing both channels 👌🏾👌🏾 , I’ve only just started using a bow nd instantly love it . Only got a cheep bow off Amazon but seriously hooked on bow and arrows .
No that broadhead ain’t destroyed it’s a mechanical blades are replaceable for a reason long as the body is good that’s the goal but try the regular dead meat I liked them a tad better and still run them today
replace the blades and go, same i do with the rage hypodermic. with the hypodermic i have not had the prob of deflection, it has punched through the bone. again replace the blade and go. i have used the montec as well and once they are tuned they work great as well.
I took a buck today at 29 yards with the mega meat punched right through him. Arrow went 4 inches in ground & broadleaf is fine. Devastating hole on deer ran only 12 yards. Have entry & exit wound pictures. Can send if you'd like. I will stay with mega meat for now on
Had a buddy shoot a doe with the Montec today. Heart shot. Complete pass through and buried in the dirt… found a total of 11 drops of blood. I found the deer without even looking for blood while my buddy was looking for blood. Ran just under 100 yards. In MY opinion, I would much rather shoot the mega meat, have mass blood loss, and a much shorter tracking job and just buy replacement blades than not have a great blood trail. A huge factor is the bow being shot with poundage and tune, but for me personally I would pic the megameat in this battle. Quieter, flies better out of untuned bows, and will definitely take a deer down faster. Shot distances come into play as well, but this is just for my input. I haven’t got to shoot one with a megameat yet but the montec highly disappointed me today.
Ive only used g5 meag meats and i have seen them shatter bones. Deer ribs arent the same either. Ive shot g5s in the dirt from mis calculations on yardage, washed the dirt out and actually killed a deer later with it.
So think about this for a second. That damage received is before it even encounters the vitals. Dull bent blades aren’t going to cut and kill efficiently. Look into quality tool steel broad heads and get a blade that is sharp all the way through the animal. There is no replacement for quality fixed blades if you want something that will reliably preform on bone. Iron will, VPA, Cutthroat, tough head, grizzly stik to name a few.
I've used the megameat and have shot 3 deer with them so far. All 3 made it less the 50 years and were recovered. The devastation and blood trail is amazing. They are amazing mechanical broadheads i def recommend them.
I schawked a deer with the Mega meat last week. I dropped him where he stood. I'll have to replace the blades but the main part of the head is fine. I'm gonna stick with the Mega meat for the foreseeable future
You're absolutely wrong and misleading about the G5 Megamind. I actually shoot the dead meets which are basically the same thing just smaller blades I have busted through shoulder blades and ribs on both sides of several deer the Broadhead is fine had to replace the blades but replacement blades are actually pretty cheap
One of the many pros to a quality fixed head like Iron Will, VAP, Toughhead, Valkyrie, Grizzly Stick and so on is that they can be reused over and over. All steel is not created equally. Simply making the claim that your broadhead is made out of steel isn’t good enough. What kind of steel? How were they heat treated?
I just shot my first g5 and it bent all the blades so I’m not sure if I’m a fan of them are not definitely a good looking blade but for 60 bucks I would hoped for more than one shot.
I’ve always heard the deadmeat is stronger because it’s milled rather than molded like these two. The montec and megameat I believe are both molded so the durability isn’t great. Shooting one time through a rib with a 20 dollar broadhead isn’t ideal to have it explode on you
Just bought a pack of Megameats and havent shot them yet, but im curious to know how different those Montec’s shoot compared to the Megameats, same accuracy/grouping between the 2 heads?
I used to buy whatever arrow off the shelf and would put the nastiest looking expandable on it I could fine. Terrible penetration and the deer would take off like a bat out of hell with a 50/50 recovery rate. I snorted the fairy dust, built a heavy arrow, switched to Magnus black hornets, and now they don’t know they were hit and I watch them tip over.
The megameat is a one and done. It’s gonna leave a huge nasty hole. Then you have to replace the blades or toss it. For me 20 bucks to replace 3 sets of blades isn’t that bad. Also the shoulder blade on a deer isn’t hard to punch through it’s the humerus that’s the problem. In all smack a doe with a megameat and I bet you’ll shoot them again.
Shot a doe last year went threw a few ribs and the blades were destroyed!! Heck of a wound Chanel tho 🤷♂️ if you don’t mind to pay for them they are amazing!!!!
with the megameat you can atleast change the blades, i would recommend running the deadmeat v2, i got a deer with it and it put a really good hole in it , deer only went like 30 yds before dropping, i had a complete pass through and honestly really happy with the results
Bro let me tell you, I switched to Magnus stinger biz cut 150 grain and holy f*** are they devastating!! It went threw the hardest spot of the shoulder paddle out the chest and into the neck!! I had a failure at my insert so my arrow stopped and my broadhead did not so idk what it looks like but let me tell you when you pin wheel a deer I guess it really dosnt matter 🤷🏼♂️ my arrow is still okay though. I’ve shot one into the ground from 20’ up and it came out completely unscathed so I can resharpen it or get repayment blades for $25
I've never seen a Montec come out of the package that was even remotely sharp... I love the head but if they would just sharpen them more people would run them.
ribs are not very tuff, that megameat has some weak ass blades.i recommend a swhacker 1.75 if you want to use a mechanical. all mine have been reusable after passing through deer, no wobbles and just touch up the blades and they are ready to kill again.
I don't really know much about bow hunting just now getting interested in it but I would go with the montec no damage was done to the broad head if anyone could possibly point me in the right direction for a bow for a beginner on a fixed income it would be much appreciated
I would go with the bear legend xr rth it's already ready to hunt other than you need to buy arrows and it's $500 which you can't beat it but if you want to spend the money I'd recommend a mathews v3x that's what I have and I love it but my first bow was a bear archery apprentice 3
I have watched lots and lots and lots of videos on the mega meat, and it's not going to hold up. The blades are too long, it makes them weak and they will bend or they will break. In my opinion, you would be better off to shoot the new dead meat is One and a half inch cut Because the mega meat a 2 inch cut, the blades are to long and there too weak. The dead meat blades will hold up a lot better.
Uhhhhhmmmm your a little off alot of us are capable of putting it through the shoulders lmao I've just been using the nap kill zones for the last 2 years and it punches through the shoulders anytime it hits them but my total arrow weight is about 500grains
I work for G5 and there is a reason behind the bending of the blades. With long blades, they will either break or bend. We designed them to bend so that it still cuts as it goes through the animal and doesn’t stop when it hits bone. If you want to use the broadhead for more than one harvest, we have replacement blades to help save money. Thanks for the review and good luck this season!

The reason for the bending is because it's cheap, paper thin steel. But hey they look cool 😎

One shot, one kill. I don't expect Expendables to be reusable. Love the Sever heads!
I’ve heard multiple people say good thing about Sever’s, never tried them. Maybe I’ll have to order a few.
Huge fan of the slick tricks myself. Just took a mule deer using a slick trick viper trick broadhead. Ran 50 yards and fell over. Only thing I’ll say is the blood trail will never be as good using a fixed blade vs mechanical.
And penetration will never be as good as a fixed blade - depends what you want?
If you can group a fixed blade with your field tips, stick with it. Always better than relying on a mechanical IMO

Great vid man. Love the comparrissons.
Thanks!
No that broadhead ain’t destroyed it’s a mechanical blades are replaceable for a reason long as the body is good that’s the goal but try the regular dead meat I liked them a tad better and still run them today
You need the legend Paul Harrell meat target!!!! Lol
replace the blades and go, same i do with the rage hypodermic. with the hypodermic i have not had the prob of deflection, it has punched through the bone. again replace the blade and go. i have used the montec as well and once they are tuned they work great as well.
@Giveaway_accounnt sweet. What info do you need
Who cares if the mechanical is trash after the shot. Who cares if your arrow is broken after your shoot. If you recover the deer it’s worth it imo.
I used megas blood trail is amazing I don’t reuse them though
I took a buck today at 29 yards with the mega meat punched right through him. Arrow went 4 inches in ground & broadleaf is fine. Devastating hole on deer ran only 12 yards. Have entry & exit wound pictures. Can send if you'd like. I will stay with mega meat for now on
Had a buddy shoot a doe with the Montec today. Heart shot. Complete pass through and buried in the dirt… found a total of 11 drops of blood. I found the deer without even looking for blood while my buddy was looking for blood. Ran just under 100 yards. In MY opinion, I would much rather shoot the mega meat, have mass blood loss, and a much shorter tracking job and just buy replacement blades than not have a great blood trail. A huge factor is the bow being shot with poundage and tune, but for me personally I would pic the megameat in this battle. Quieter, flies better out of untuned bows, and will definitely take a deer down faster. Shot distances come into play as well, but this is just for my input. I haven’t got to shoot one with a megameat yet but the montec highly disappointed me today.
Ive only used g5 meag meats and i have seen them shatter bones. Deer ribs arent the same either. Ive shot g5s in the dirt from mis calculations on yardage, washed the dirt out and actually killed a deer later with it.
So think about this for a second. That damage received is before it even encounters the vitals. Dull bent blades aren’t going to cut and kill efficiently. Look into quality tool steel broad heads and get a blade that is sharp all the way through the animal. There is no replacement for quality fixed blades if you want something that will reliably preform on bone. Iron will, VPA, Cutthroat, tough head, grizzly stik to name a few.
These people don't wanna hear that. They want cheap, paper thin mechanicals that look cool
I've used the megameat and have shot 3 deer with them so far. All 3 made it less the 50 years and were recovered. The devastation and blood trail is amazing. They are amazing mechanical broadheads i def recommend them.
me too I used them till one of the red clips failed then i switched to Grim Reapers
They have replaceable blades for the mega meat I’ve killed many of bucks with the same one just changed blades
I schawked a deer with the Mega meat last week. I dropped him where he stood. I'll have to replace the blades but the main part of the head is fine. I'm gonna stick with the Mega meat for the foreseeable future
They make replacements blades so the thing wouldn’t have to be thrown away
Great Video!
You're absolutely wrong and misleading about the G5 Megamind. I actually shoot the dead meets which are basically the same thing just smaller blades I have busted through shoulder blades and ribs on both sides of several deer the Broadhead is fine had to replace the blades but replacement blades are actually pretty cheap
One of the many pros to a quality fixed head like Iron Will, VAP, Toughhead, Valkyrie, Grizzly Stick and so on is that they can be reused over and over. All steel is not created equally. Simply making the claim that your broadhead is made out of steel isn’t good enough. What kind of steel? How were they heat treated?
I just shot my first g5 and it bent all the blades so I’m not sure if I’m a fan of them are not definitely a good looking blade but for 60 bucks I would hoped for more than one shot.
I’ve always heard the deadmeat is stronger because it’s milled rather than molded like these two. The montec and megameat I believe are both molded so the durability isn’t great. Shooting one time through a rib with a 20 dollar broadhead isn’t ideal to have it explode on you
The montec and m3 are molded. shoot the striker v2
If you like the Montec, you will LOVE the QAD Exodus. It's like the Montec on steroids, strong steroids! 1 1/4" cut and super tough.
I've shot G5 montec for years and will continue to shoot them, never failed me
Just bought a pack of Megameats and havent shot them yet, but im curious to know how different those Montec’s shoot compared to the Megameats, same accuracy/grouping between the 2 heads?
I used to buy whatever arrow off the shelf and would put the nastiest looking expandable on it I could fine. Terrible penetration and the deer would take off like a bat out of hell with a 50/50 recovery rate. I snorted the fairy dust, built a heavy arrow, switched to Magnus black hornets, and now they don’t know they were hit and I watch them tip over.
Megameat all day I don’t care about reusing the head again
I'm shooting the montec myself. It rips through alot of stuff. Also ur able to resharpin it so that's a plus
Mega meats destroys everything in its path
The megameat is a one and done. It’s gonna leave a huge nasty hole. Then you have to replace the blades or toss it. For me 20 bucks to replace 3 sets of blades isn’t that bad. Also the shoulder blade on a deer isn’t hard to punch through it’s the humerus that’s the problem. In all smack a doe with a megameat and I bet you’ll shoot them again.
I'm willing to sacrifice a broadhead per deer with the amount of damage they do you should see what they do on deer it's nuts
you dont reuse a bullet after shooting so I'm fine with the blades needing to be replaced.
You should try the Swhacker...
Shot a doe last year went threw a few ribs and the blades were destroyed!! Heck of a wound Chanel tho 🤷♂️ if you don’t mind to pay for them they are amazing!!!!
If the ribs were cooked the bone is a lot harder try it with a raw rack of ribs
with the megameat you can atleast change the blades, i would recommend running the deadmeat v2, i got a deer with it and it put a really good hole in it , deer only went like 30 yds before dropping, i had a complete pass through and honestly really happy with the results
The deadmeat is the best of both worlds in my opinion! Great flight and more penetration than the megameat.
G5 Fixed blade
I have killed 6 bucks with the same meat head. I just put new bladed in it that came with the pack I bought. And I bought extra blades.
Probably used the megameat he practiced with earlier to shoot the ribs. Also some people need to go see how Paul Harrels meat target is made
The mega meat is not toast you can replace the blades
Mega meats killed plenty of deer. Wouldn't be scared to shot it at all. New blades and ready to go Again
Bro let me tell you, I switched to Magnus stinger biz cut 150 grain and holy f*** are they devastating!! It went threw the hardest spot of the shoulder paddle out the chest and into the neck!! I had a failure at my insert so my arrow stopped and my broadhead did not so idk what it looks like but let me tell you when you pin wheel a deer I guess it really dosnt matter 🤷🏼♂️ my arrow is still okay though. I’ve shot one into the ground from 20’ up and it came out completely unscathed so I can resharpen it or get repayment blades for $25
If you want, my honest opinion, here’s what you should try this year Black flag archery hemorrhage, Broadhead .
They are made to replace the blades. Read it. These people. Nothing wrong with it
I’d also like to add, that’s some really big ribs. And did the Montec squeeze between two?
I don’t listen to a guy who drives a 6 blow 😂
At least I don’t drive a prius 🤷♂️
@@kcoutdoorsofficial I mean u got me there 😆
Only need 1 shot and rebuild kit is only 20 bucks.
I've never seen a Montec come out of the package that was even remotely sharp... I love the head but if they would just sharpen them more people would run them.
ribs are not very tuff, that megameat has some weak ass blades.i recommend a swhacker 1.75 if you want to use a mechanical. all mine have been reusable after passing through deer, no wobbles and just touch up the blades and they are ready to kill again.
“…shoot a mechanical into a shoulder and you’re going to lose your deer….” Ummm, no.
Hahahaha
i've never had a problem with mechanical, i only need them for one kill, just buy new ones after
Cooked ribs?
You cant use cooked ribs. You need raw. Deer arent pre cooked. The cooked bones in the cooked ribs are like rocks. Raw bones are way softer
If it ain't broken... don't fix it.
I don't really know much about bow hunting just now getting interested in it but I would go with the montec no damage was done to the broad head if anyone could possibly point me in the right direction for a bow for a beginner on a fixed income it would be much appreciated
I would go with the bear legend xr rth it's already ready to hunt other than you need to buy arrows and it's $500 which you can't beat it but if you want to spend the money I'd recommend a mathews v3x that's what I have and I love it but my first bow was a bear archery apprentice 3
I have watched lots and lots and lots of videos on the mega meat, and it's not going to hold up. The blades are too long, it makes them weak and they will bend or they will break. In my opinion, you would be better off to shoot the new dead meat is One and a half inch cut Because the mega meat a 2 inch cut, the blades are to long and there too weak. The dead meat blades will hold up a lot better.
Uhhhhhmmmm your a little off alot of us are capable of putting it through the shoulders lmao I've just been using the nap kill zones for the last 2 years and it punches through the shoulders anytime it hits them but my total arrow weight is about 500grains
I think the g5 explain
Mechanical are almost always one an done. Work okay
