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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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 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.
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 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.
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
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
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
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
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
i have been using g5 deadmeat broadheads on deer since they came out without any complaints,taking quite a few deer--as far as the blades you will get some to bend,just use replacement blades,but when it comes to larger animals such as bear or elk i switch to g5 striker with outstanding success--i have tried the montec and they are tough but have trouble getting them sharp enough
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.
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.
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.
To touch on what you said in the beginning about losing your deer if you hit the shoulder with a mechanical thats not necessarily true. My setup ive yet to lose a deer because of penetration! Hell ive yet to lose a deer period with my current set up main reason being the big 2in cut has made up for shots that were my fault. Im shooting 30in easton fmj 5mm 300 spine out of my V3 31 29.5in draw @ 72-73lbs and ive shot throigh the shoulder blades etc with zero issues! im truly impressed with how well this setup performs!! hell last season it blew my mind. I needed last minute broadheads best i could get was some nap killzones 2in 2 blade mechanicals. I shot a doe that night almost a straight disn quartering away shot on exit it literally cut her front left leg in half just ledt it hanging by a piece of skin didnt think it was possible. Even with the other 2in mechanicals I use ive out them through the shoulderes etc EVERYWHERE the "Ranch Fairy" and "THP" says you cant shoot a deer with a mechanical and almost always got a full pass through and if i didnt it was almost so the deer would pull the arrow within a few yards anyways
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!!
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?
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.
The megameat is not destroyed. The blades need to be replaced. It's not a great head, it's an incredible head that results in super quick kills and easy blood trailing. I could care less if the blades survive. I want recovery rate.
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.
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?
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?
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
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 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.
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
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.
💚 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 .
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
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.
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
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'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
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 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.
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 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
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 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 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.
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?
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.
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!!!!
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
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 shoot magnus stingers but Idc if a 15$ broadhead gets destroyed as long as the deer is down, y’all crazy as hell expecting to use broadheads multiple times on game that are 60$ for a three pack 😂😂
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’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
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
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.
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.
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 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.

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.
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.

Use grim reaper hybrid micro against the mega meat in a test
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 lost to many deer using mechanical broadheads
I've since switched to exodus heads and have been very impressed by there performance 🦌🦌🦌✌️
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.
Stay with the montec or something similar. That megameat is just brittle throw away crap.
The megameat is not destroyed. The blades need to be replaced.
It's not a great head, it's an incredible head that results in super quick kills and easy blood trailing. I could care less if the blades survive. I want recovery rate.
I’d also like to add, that’s some really big ribs. And did the Montec squeeze between two?
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.
Great content, but sadly I cannot like this video... GO BLUE!!
If you can group a fixed blade with your field tips, stick with it. Always better than relying on a mechanical IMO
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?
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?

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.
I've shot G5 montec for years and will continue to shoot them, never failed me
Is the give away from the comments or do week enter
💚 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 .
Just switch to SEVR and be happy! lol
Love the mega meat used them last season deer didn't go 45 yards
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
They have replaceable blades for the mega meat I’ve killed many of bucks with the same one just changed blades
I'm shooting the montec myself. It rips through alot of stuff. Also ur able to resharpin it so that's a plus
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.
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
I love my mega meats.. the blood trail is like no other
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.
Nice vid! Now I want some damn ribs!!!😂😂😂
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.
You need the legend Paul Harrell meat target!!!! Lol
Mega meats killed plenty of deer. Wouldn't be scared to shot it at all. New blades and ready to go Again
Mega meats destroys everything in its path
You should try the Swhacker...
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
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 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.
you dont reuse a bullet after shooting so I'm fine with the blades needing to be replaced.
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
Cooked ribs?
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.
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 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
If you want, my honest opinion, here’s what you should try this year Black flag archery hemorrhage, Broadhead .
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
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 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.
@@tray22 they both work! Just personal preference.
@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.
The mega meat is not toast you can replace the blades
You should always replace or sharpen your blades anyway no matter the head
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?
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
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!!!!
Only need 1 shot and rebuild kit is only 20 bucks.
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
They are made to replace the blades. Read it. These people. Nothing wrong with it
They make replacements blades so the thing wouldn’t have to be thrown away
Great Video!
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
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 😆
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.
I shoot magnus stingers but Idc if a 15$ broadhead gets destroyed as long as the deer is down, y’all crazy as hell expecting to use broadheads multiple times on game that are 60$ for a three pack 😂😂
“…shoot a mechanical into a shoulder and you’re going to lose your deer….” Ummm, no.
Hahahaha
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’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
I used megas blood trail is amazing I don’t reuse them though
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
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
Megameat all day I don’t care about reusing the head again
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.
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.
try using a sevr broadhead
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
If the ribs were cooked the bone is a lot harder try it with a raw rack of 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
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.
