G5 t3 broadhead|Bowhunting Talk|Forum|Bow Hunters of Alabama

Just thought I’d give my review/opinion of the t3 broadhead. I have used the grim reaper for the past couple of years with good results, but the aluminum ferrule was on my mind as a weak point, so i ended up buying a couple of packs of the g5 t3’s. The t3’s have a stainless steel body as well as incredibly easy to replace stainless steel blades. The blades slide into a slot once a washer and spider clip is removed. Replace the spider clip and washer and screw it back onto your arrow and your back in business. The practice blades do not deploy but replicate roughly the same area sticking out of the side of the ferrule. They shoot right with my field points. I decided to give the actual cutting blades a try today. At 20 yards I shot 3 arrows, one with a field tip, one with the practice blades, and one with the cutting blades in place. I wasn’t nessisarily trying to go for accuracy as much as I was trying to see how the broadhead would work and hold up. With that said they all hit within a half inch or so of where i was aiming. all 3 shots were with 100 grain broadheads, on gold tip 5575 arrows, shot out of a bowtech insanity set at 70 lbs with a 30 inch draw. The test was conducted with a yellow jacket broadhead target. The blades did not immediately deploy on entry to the target. The outer covering of the target is kinda spongy and the blades did deploy once inside the target as is evident with the spider clips being bent backwards. The target stopped the arrow before it exited the back so I didn’t get to see an exit hole, but the package says that it’ll give a inch and a half diameter hole. The spider clips go beneath the blade pressing up on the non sharpened side of the blades, thus locking them in place. None of them broke off but I don’t know if I can bend them back to their original position and use them again. If I can great, if not, no big deal because they come with replacements. I think they can be adjusted to make them deploy easier too, I just haven’t messed with them that much. None of the blades broke, or bent and were still sharp enough to hunt with after the shot. Videos of this test can be see on Calhoun county bowhunters Facebook page, go check it out and “like” the page.
