Slick trick broadheads
« on: July 08, 2012, 06:19:40 PM »
I am thinking about using 100 grain slick trick broadheads this season. Does anyone have any experience with these broadheads or pictures of the wound it causes. Any advice at all would be helpful.Thanks.

62 yard lung shot, the broadhead lodged in the other shoulder and he snapped the arrow in half. He went 10 yards and hit the dirt. There was blood everywhere. I was shooting 125's but am probably going with 100 grain this season. I was really happy with them! They do fly great too.

love the slicks, they had a problem 3 years ago with the blade tolerances, the blades flattened out. they fixed them the same year and sent me 10   3 packs for writing them a letter explaining the problem. as for flight they fly better than any head i have ever shot. i shoot the standards 100gr.

I shoot the 100 gr. standards and they have worked awesome.  Fly great and are scary sharp :yike:

Thinking of trying the viper tricks but why fix it if it isn't broke? :dunno:

I think they are great broadheads for the price.

Broke a blade completely off going thru my bull last year. :twocents: that said I think I got a bunk one as its the only bad thing I've heard about them. Still I won't be shooting them again.

Shot him at 20yds. Busted through a rib on the way in. Quartered up through both lungs, punched through the offside shoulder blade and lodged in the hide. As he ran off it looked like he had a garden hose shooting blood out the side. Very impressive blood trail.

These are from three different management deer I took the last year I was stationed in Connecticut.  As you've already heard, they are sharp, fly well, and durable as a broadhead can come.  I never had a problem bloodtrailing any deer I took with a slick trick.  I shoot the 100gr magnum, and am thinking of getting the 125gr to bring up my arrows FOC.  They have my vote for sure! :tup:

I'm sold!!!; it's SlickTrick for me, this year. 

The hardest thing, for me, now, is deciding on which one to get, for all-around.  I will be hunting bear, elk, and deer and don't want to have a lot of different models in my arsenal.  I like to get one and stick with it until it lets me down. 

The Grizz2 looks to be the one, but I am afraid it might be an overkill for BT.  The Magnum looks good, as well, and I am leaning that direction.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.  :bash: :bash:

Wildsau,

I would lean towards the standard or vipertrick.  My reasoning is blade angle and the potential for deflection on quartering shots with the magnums (never had It happen just thinking of the physics).

There is no such thing as overkill when it comes to broadheads. :tup:

The standards will do it all.
