Ive always shot wood and continue to do so but thought I'd give carbon a try this years as well.  Need some broadhead recommendations.  Looking at 125 gn Muzzy Phantoms and G5 Montecs.  Anybody recommend one over the other?  Easy to sharpen?   Thanks AJ

Lots of good ones out there.  One suggestion I will make is the Cutthroat by RMSG.  I think they are really good, well made heads.

Killed a lot with the Snuffer SS.
Also liked the Wensel Woodsman Elite.
I moved to 175 VPA 3-blade to trial this season.

Vpa broadheads

Zwickeys. Deltas are my go to head . Easy to get, easy to sharpen.

Simmons Sharks

Ditto this ^^^

Deltas are a years-proven, wide cutting head and tough as nails, and fly superb.

Beauty of shooting carbons is the ability to front load the hell out of them, neither of the heads you mentioned are easy to sharpen in my opinion, phantom is probably easier than the G5 though, rmsgear is coming out with a 125gr from what I understand but have heavier heads as well and they are extremely easy to sharpen!

Montecs can be challenging to sharpen. At least for me. I like the phantoms a lot better. In my experience phantoms are sharper out of the package and easier to touch up.

Simmons mako

I am happy with both Simmons and abowyer. There are a lot of good ones out there, but what you are looking at would not be at the top of my list.

My current favorites are Simmons (Tigersharks) and Woodsman Elite in 175 grain.

Grizzly Instinct

Woodsman elite ss

Op not to sound bad but the Muzzy Phantom and G5 Monotec have been the worst performing heads I've killed deer with.  Had multiple failures with Phantoms (blades coming out of the feral). And G5 frankly left poor blood trails.

Cut throats are very nice. I also like kodiaks and deltas.

Pending on the arrow weight that you're looking for, Zwickey 2 blade Deltas or Eskimos. You have everything you need to beef up the weight too, steel bradhead adapters, brass inserts. Zwickey's fly like darts without the audible whistling that some vented broadheads have. Best of luck.

Cut throat

You mentioned Montec G5, I have those and they have worked well. But I usually shoot the same heads as I do with wood arrows, just mounted onto a threaded adapter, although I rarely shoot wood anymore as I can control the weight and balance of a carbon arrow much more effectively. And, carbon is either straight or broken.

If I had to choose between the two the phantoms would be it. I have shot a lot of game with then and was my favorite head till I started shooting simmions. Never had a failure and the 4 blades always made for easy to follow short trails.
