I agree, having played with a few of the M2 Antennas on VHF they are very solid and well built antennas.
The CVARC used a couple M2 yagi's on a repeater site up in the sierra to target a heard to reach area, and they had to be rugged.
I visited the manufacturer when I first got into playing SSB on VHF.
They do built nice stuff but in the end I decided stacking two 14 elements for less money was the way to go with my budget, and I had no bad weather to deal with at that time.
If that is the 11M5 you have it is a big antenna, surprised it bent a element.
Got any 20 lb turkeys flying around your place?
Wouldn't be the first turkey I seen sitting on a antenna.
Or turkey vultures.
