I shot my first few archery deer with G5 Montecs and got great penetration but poor blood trails. I will say that they probably were not as sharp as they should have been, so that was partly my own fault. I never could get them to fly very well, so when Rage became all the rage
I started using them with mixed results. I had several very impressive blood trails, the classic "rage" type trails that you could follow at a fast walk, but I also hit a rib on a big bodied 3.5 year old buck that made my broadhead looked like this.

I switched to Slick Tricks and have had good luck with them, blood trails have been pretty decent, no bent blades or anything, but I havn't hit any heavy bone with them.
I decided to try single bevels this year so I got a pack of Aerohunter One heads from Crafted Archery. They're not much more than Rage or Slick Tricks, solid one piece head, easy to sharpen freehand. I havn't shot them yet, but if they fly good I'll likely have them and Slick Tricks both in my quiver.
I will say also that I noticed a difference in the deer's reaction after the shot when I started using a heavier arrow and Slick Tricks. The arrow zips right through and they don't know what happened. That hasn't happened every time, but enough for me to notice it.
