Forgot to post this but we sighted in her crossbow the other day. She shot it out to 50 yards too. Pretty damn accurate and that bolt zips to the target.
Crossbow Broadheads

Still prefer a mechanical for the crossbow for the ease of application, but made the shift to these this year. We'll see how they do soon enough, hopefully.
She now has a list of other heads to look at and those are on there at the top for mechanicals. Thanks for sharing what you are using with your crossbow set up @bowhunter1023
I'm sure you recall my experience with Montecs and I was quick to blame the head, but the Indian should have made sure they were sharp. I picked up some Rages when I stared prepping things for Kaydence and they definitely work, but her buck last year reminded me why holes are better than slits. (That's what she said... 
)
I'm rebuilding her bolts tonight and can share those details, too. Even though we have a cheaper crossbow, I've been pleased with it. Good recommendation by @xbowguy on that. True to his name!

I do recall your experiences, enough that I have taken that into account on that head. There are many others out there who have had similar with that head too, enough to make me think we just need to avoid it if possible. Shooter error, blah blah blah, sometimes you have to have confidence in the equipment too. I'm still thinking she will pass on them and go with a different option, mechanical or fixed I'm not sure though. But in the end I am still leaving it up to her on what she ends up shooting. Definitely share your details on the bolt re-build, it's more to pass on to her and for me to think about.I'm sure you recall my experience with Montecs and I was quick to blame the head, but the Indian should have made sure they were sharp.

+1 for blood and wound - holes are always better than slits. > then 2 blades.

@Big_Holla G5 makes an outstanding sharpener. I got one as a door prize at the ASA State shoot last year. It has impressed me and I highly recommend it for its simplicity and effectiveness.
Boy, had to search to find G5 sharpeners. Their website doesn't even list them. That the hand held one Brock or the flat one for 3 blade Montecs?

I’ll get a pic of it when I get home. It sits on a table or other flat surface. Fits in a pocket. Very small but heavy.

Thanks Brock! Seems like a handy tool to have. Lots of old blades I should revive instead of buying more I think.

For what it's worth I've had good flight with the older 4 bladed Muzzy's. I think they are No. 209's. Blood trails are a bit weak but these only have a 1" cutting diameter.
Jesus!!! And people worry about meat damage from a big bore rifle LOLOLOL!
Gonna need to strap a couple 2x4s on each side to fill that slit
