The G5 Monotech broadhead is a one piece cut to the tip 3 blade style head.  It is unique in that the blades, ferule, and threads of the broadhead are all made from one piece of steel. The accuracy is very good, grouping with my field points. In the tire the head got through the first side, with about 4 inches of shaft. In the plywood it busted through without any damage to the head. In the steel drum the head got through the first side, and stuck in the far side with a ¼ of the tip sticking out the back. This is an excellent broadhead. Good accuracy, and plenty strong. I preformed another test with this head shooting it and a Muzzy 4 blade 100 grn into the shoulder bone of a medium size steer. It had died last year on my property, and one shoulder bone was still intact. I cut it in half and shot each head into the halves. I was careful to keep both the same size and thickness. The Muzzy 4 blade busted a good size hole in the shoulder and stuck in the foam behind a good distance. The head was undamaged.  I then shot the Monotech into the other half of the shoulder blade. It split the shoulder in half, and penetrated into the foam about the same distance as the Muzzy. When I pulled it out though, 2 of the 3 blades were broken. They broke dead center half way between the tip and back of the head. Keep in mind though that this was the same head that just went through a tire, ¾” plywood, and a steel drum. I still consider it an excellent head for those looking for a 3 blade, cut to the tip style broadhead of modest cutting diameter.

Please note as more test information becomes available, it will be updated and posted.  Make sure you check back periodically to see if the head you're curious about shows up on the measuring tape.  If you’re interested in donating a head for testing, email ckfitch3@aol.com or visit Huntingforums.com, Bows and Arrows forum and see 5shot.  Thank you and enjoy.
