I have been shooting montecs for about 4 years now. They have been a super broadhead. First deer I took, I shot through both shoulders. I decided to try the cs this past year. I could definitely a difference in how sharp they were right out of the pack. I killed two deer with them last year with great blood trails. My problem with the cs is that they are prone to rust once wet. After a few damp and wet mornings in the stand I began to see rust form on the blades edge. To me, they just aren't as durable as the original montecs. Will probably switch back. I may try strikers as well.
