We know that G5 products do exactly what they say they do as we have the trophies to prove it.         We used G5 broadheads this past season and watched them perform in a way that was nothing short of outstanding. We anchored a bull moose, calf moose, record book whitetail, black bear and a turkey last season all with the Striker, Striker Magnum and Tekan. These broadheads passed completely through every animal we shot them at and left devastating entry and exit holes which resulted in excellent blood trails and short tracking jobs. Not only do these sharp, tough, hard hitting heads do the job on animals but they are the best broadheads we have ever used for field-point accuracy. With short profiles and minimal wind planning, even their fixed blade heads fly like field points. We practice regularly out to 65 yards and these broadheads showed no change in point of impact from our field tips. The Striker was our "go-to" broadhead this year for deer and moose as we feel it is the perfect broadhead for all hunting situations. Strikers boast a 1-1/8" cutting diameter, a cut-on-contact design and proved to be extremely tough. Check out the stories on 6-Pack and the moose to see what we shot this year with Strikers. The Striker Magnum was really of interest to us this year as it bears a 1.5" cutting diameter. While that's nothing special in the world of mechanical broadheads, it's almost unheard of for fixed blades so we were really anxious to try them out. Like everything else G5 makes, we give the Striker Magnum two thumbs up. The Tekan is one mechanical broadhead that doesn't disappoint. The 1-1/2" cutting diameter and superior strength make it a great broadhead for anything from turkeys up to moose. We shot a turkey and a deer with the Tekan this year with perfect results. If mechanical broadheads are your preference, you'll love the Tekan.         We used their premium Optix XR sight on our bows and have no complaints to report whatsoever. The 3 fixed pin and one hybrid floating smart pin design allows long range archers to sight their bow in down range without cluttering up their sight window with a lot of pins. With fibre optic sights and the option for the L.E.D Rheostat light this sight performed in low light and at long ranges like a dream. The fibre-optics gathered so much light that we really never needed to use the L.E.D light except when in tent blinds. We know that G5 products do exactly what they say they do as we have the trophies to prove it.     Check out the hole in this moose from the G5 Striker.     Check out the 2" hole in this deer from the Striker Magnum...very impressive for a fixed blade broadhead!     Another extremely impressive entrance hole from the Striker Magnum ...this time on a bear!     A nice tom from opening morning taken down with the Tekan.     Return to 2008 Hunts Page
