That's why I couldn't kill something!

The three other times I went without my lucky charm! Brought him along and it all came together perfectly!





I'm done with the G5 Havoc broadheads though. They work, but they are a pain. While tracking the blood trail I found the arrow without a broadhead. I thought the broadhead had unscrewed itself but the threaded part actually broke off inside the arrow. The broadhead was just poking out the other side, with no threaded stem. While elk hunting every time I pulled one from my quiver the blades weren't locked in. No Thanks.

Kids are a lucky charm in every way! Good job Dad

Stick with the Montec G5 you just sharpen them and keep on using them.

Good times. I agree go with the Montec G5 instead. I've had no problems with those.

I shot a sweet ten point in kansas on public land with a G5, ten yard shot clean pass through ZERO blood. Buck ran into about 500 acre section of CRP, gone forever. Arrow was solid blood!

Congrats! Fixed blade all the way for me too! The blades are always locked in, no expansion necessary. I like Montec G5 and Muzzy.

Thank you all for your comments. There's something so much more meaningful about hunting when you're doing it with your kids.

Im opposite. Ive had nothing but great luck with the Havocs. Ive shot 4 deer with them and had all 4 fall in sight. All 4 have been complete pass through, double lung shots. Pinwheeled em! One was a 300lb Kansas buck that struggled to make it 50yds after a 42 yard shot. I cant say enough good things about the Havoc.

I do understand your frustration.

Glad you got the doe with your boy. Sounds like fun. If I were you, I'd jump on over to the G5 Montec as suggested earlier but be ready for a blood trail that is far smaller than what the Havoc left. I still use the Montecs from time to time and I love those too but blood trails are sparse at time, especially on marginal shots. I double lunged a KS doe this yr with a Montec and watched her fall after 25yds and there wasn't a drop of blood on the ground. Weird and glad she didn't run out of sight.
