With the 100 grain standard Slick Tricks I shot my best ever black tail deer he ran 15' and crashed dead. When I shot my 5 point bull elk he ran 70 yards at a full sprint then fell dead. These broad heads fly just like a field point out to 90 yards when shot out of my tuned Xforce. Best blood trails I have ever seen and huge holes.
After using the slick trick heads and replacement blades for the second consective season I am more impressed than ever. The first deer this year, large doe, I shot was at 25 yards ducked quite a bit and I hit her in the spine. But the slick trick broadhead bore through the center of the backbone and projected out on the other side. She dropped like a rock and when I retrieved the broadhead it was in perfect condition even though it has went through a solid bone vertibrae. I replaced the blades and later double lunged another doe and it only went 35 yards and left a text book blood trail. I also used the rage broadhead on other deer this hunting season without such solid and impressive results when they struck rib bones. Slick trick broadheads have proven themselves and they will be on the first arrow out of my quiver from now own.
I spent a month testing these broadheads out of two bows - a Bowtech 82nd Airborne, and a PSE Thunderbolt. They are the only two bows I have, and I have done a lot of tuning with both. I have my own bow press, arrow saw, fletcher, and just about anything else to work on compound bows - pretty much an archery shop in my basement. When I bought the Slick Tricks, I was hoping to have broadheads that flew the same as field points, and hit in the same point of impact as my field points. I found that the Slick Tricks do not fly like field points - they fly like a good broadhead. The Slick Tricks grouped on the target where my Muzzys and Bear Super Razorheads hit. I tune my bows so that the broadhead will shoot to the same point of impact as my field points. When the arrow rest (Whisker Biscuit QS) began to wear from a lot of shooting, I noticed two different points of impacts - the Slick Tricks grouped about 3 inches lower than the field points (at 30 yards). I then switched to my Muzzys and my Super Razorhead Lites, and they also grouped 3 inches lower than the field points. I then moved my Whisker Biscuit rest up approximately 1/16" - and all of the broadheads began to group where my field points impacted. I was shooting the Bowtech 82nd at the time. When I shot the PSE bow, I also discovered the same thing occurring with the Slick Tricks - they shot where my other broadheads (same weight - 100 grains) shot. The Slick Tricks are a very aerodynamic broadhead, and they fly as well as the best fixed blade broadheads out there. However, I would not expect them to hit the same place as your field points - unless you do proper broadhead tuning. I also had trouble getting some of the blades to go into the ferrule (main body) of the broadhead. Customer service at Slick Trick was great - they sent me two replacement ferrules for the one that didn't work. That is the way customer service should be. My only disappointment though, was that these broadheads are advertised to fly like field points and they don't.
