I have a pack on order should probably hit my door step today. I can't wait to give these a try.

Buckbuster31 · 07-21-2010, 10:32 AM

any reviews on these yet? im still very curious

mudslinger · 07-22-2010, 08:26 AM

Reviews on some site are not very positive. I have not been able tyo test mine yet. This wekend if the wind does not howl.

05_sprcrw · 07-22-2010, 09:05 AM

So far I like them (I have a test coming very very soon) and have not had any issues with them.

One thing that scares me about them is the possibility of someone putting them together wrong at which point the spider clips would hold the blade down and keep it from opening.

I'm ready to see a test. I think I'm going to be giving these a shot this year. I plan on trying them out on a early season doe.

I think I'm gonna try these out. I have shot four whitetails with a rage 3 blade and they have preformed very well but I am just too curious not to give the T3 a look.

I'm anxious. I have heard good, and bad, but I want to find out for myself.

i plan on buying some of these broadheads, hopefully they end up being a winner!

MidMoJeff · 08-04-2010, 10:27 AM

I passed on a pack of them yesterday at the shop. The thing that turns me away is the spider clip. I just dont know much about it and will not take the chance if I'm not confident. I guess I should have bought a pack and sent em down range and posted my findings, but I figured there was plenty of info out there already on them. (shrugs)

BigBuck-A-Roo · 08-05-2010, 10:31 AM

Like alot of the new designs out there alot i like and a few boggle me alot

The one's im not sure of or think wont be great will probably be awsome heads while the one's i think will be great will probably be duds so untill there is a couple years on them with excellent reviews i dont really see the need to try any of these when there's so many proven heads already out. Although im very intrigued by the T3 design im not ready to just chance them or any head not proven in the field

I was looking at some the other day. As I was trying to get one of the blades to deploy, the entire thing fell apart. I didn't like that but don't think it would happen on an arrow.

bowhuntermitch · 08-13-2010, 06:58 PM

I have played with these for awhile now, they seem like a good concept.. i wish ALL if g5's heads were striker sharp though... these heads dont shave out of the package.

HuntingtonsAssassin · 10-09-2010, 12:21 AM

I have heard that the spider clips break, and are not re-usable. Has anyone heard anything similar to this? I am curious.

indianagooseman · 10-17-2010, 12:26 PM

I finally had the chance to put these heads to a real life test. Last night i shot a doe at about 14 yds broadside. The shot was about 4" high of center, due to extreme stand height and shot angle, and just behind the shoulder. It was not a complete pass through but penetrated both sides of the rib cage and stopped between the ribs and hide on the opposite side collecting both lungs. The entrance hole was about a 2-2 1/2 inch hole, the blood trail was non existent due to the high entrance and lack of an exit hole but she only went about 100 yds. The real story came upon field dressing the deer. When i recovered the broadhead it had separated from the arrow shaft and at first i thought it had just unscrewed but thats not the case, the entire threaded portion of the ferrule had broken off and all of the blades were gone. I suspect that they are lodged between the ribs and the hide but have yet to confirm that. I'm going to give these heads another try because i believe in the G5 line of heads but so far I am not sold on the durability of the T3.

Gather what pieces you can of the T3 and call G5. Tell them your experience and they will more than likely want the head back and compensate you some way

G5 is a stand up company and will stand behind their stuff from my experience!
