Broadhead choice

[Swamp Rat]

Slick Trick.... magnum or regular. Not ribbed.

You can tell them Slick tricks until you are blue in the face.

They just will not listen. I think some just enjoy failure.

i tried slick tricks, i dont trust em on that big buck that might walk out(unless im shooting the magnums, which i havent tried yet). but does yes.

Maybe seeing is believing.

Don't Trust Them On Big Bucks? Well I can tell you now, that if I had the chance to hunt the next world record with any weapon of choice, I would be hanging on a limb holding my bow with a slick trick as my broadhead. I made the switch a little over 2 yrs ago and I have stuck 9, recovered all 9, and had 4 of the 9 not make it out of sight (40yds or less), and that's no spine shots. I have made a few poor shots and still have had very little problem finding them. Choose what you want to choose, but my advice is to give them a chance.

Slick tricks

I have found one thing with them though, do not shoot a deer with them straight out the pack, damn things is so sharp they wont leave a blood trail for the first 20 yards.

I've shot alot of bucks with them and all but one actually ran, the rest of them hopped up, looked around and started walking only to fall in site.

This year the new blades are even sharper and stronger................. Mercedes steel.

grim reapers or blood runners?

Bear with me a minute as I try to help you think this through. Let's assume you are of reasonable mechanical comprehension. Therefore, if you were going to push an arrow through the vitals of a deer with a broadhead on the end, what would require more effort?

A head design with dull blades or sharp blades?

A head design with more blades or less blades?

A head design with a big angled point, or head design with a small angled point?

A head design with a steep angle of attack on the blades, or a shallow angle of attack?

A head with a large diameter cut, or smaller diameter cut?

In case you are not of reasonable mechanical ability, there are any number of independent tests on the Internet that will find the answers to each of these questions is indeed supported by those 3 pesky rules Issac Newton gave us all those years ago.

Now, assuming you got those questions right, ask yourself these remaining questions?

Would a set of blades mounted in such a way as to provide movement be more rigid, or would a set of blades securely anchored with a maximum of surface area be more rigid?

When one of the blades on your broadhead contacts bone (and it will) is a short thin blade more likely to break off, or a thick long blade?

Does it mean anything to you that a product you are considering has survived in a drastically evolving industry without significant modification for 20-25-30 years?

Finally does it mean anything to you that the product you are considering not only has survived for so long in this industry, but is based on the same principles people have been using since somewhere around 25,000 BC?

After answering these questions, look at the two broadheads you asked about and look at the broadheads available today and then ask yourself these questions again.

Archery tackle is broadly divided into two categories...the shit that works...and the shit that will bring some poor sucker back to the shop with his wallet.

Likewise, bowhunters who are not in the woods on a Saturday in October are broadly divided into two categories...the ones backed up to the skinning rack...and the ones pulled in the bow shop digging for their wallets again.

Now, having gone through all that, notice I have made no mention of any make or model of broadhead.

What you have hopefully gained is the ability to think critically and logically for yourself and without regard for advertising campaigns or technological improvements aimed at your wallet instead of the ribs of an unsuspecting critter.

slick trick magnums fly like dick for me after 30yds. regulars are rad tho. giving the grim reapers a whirl now but will prob fall back to the slick tricks. bought the grims for turkeys and now have them so figured id shoot them. did crush a pig with one last night and i didnt go far at all. dont care for the blood runners

[walt4dun]

Slick Tricks won't leave you wanting. I have been shooting them since they came out.

I don't believe in mech heads. Their only advantage for years were they flew like field points. Now with Slick Tricks available they are obsolete. I can honestly say the Slicks fly like my field points every single time - zero planing.

These little ones didn't like the tricks at all. I'm not sure how the would work on a big one.

I can't think of one logical reason to use a mechanical broadhead on a large animal. Squirrels? Yea, I can see a mechanical there but I have too much respect for squirrels to use something that may or may not work.

[b.t.guardian07]

dont get me wrong skrimp, ive shot bucks with them, just kinda want to try a new broadhead out

[Catdaddy]

Nice bucks SCswitchback

I'll be the dissenting voice here. I shoot Rage 2 blades. They make an enormous entry wound and exit wound. I kill eight deer with them last year. Some left trails that looked like a horror movie. Some dropped in their tracks. Never had a broadhead malfunction in four years. I don't recommend them, I'm only saying that I shoot them.
