Slick trick broadheads

[Johnb317]

I shoot slick trick magnums, no problems on elk.

Magnums for me over the standards every day. Extra cutting diameter and surface

[JPhelps]

I am a huge slick trick fan but consider the following:

A bull is standing quartering away at a 30 degree angle.  The blades on the magnum are close to 35 degrees.  The arrow enters the hide and the leading blade hits a rib square.  That only leaves 25 degrees of angle between the blade edge being flat against the rib.  Will the arrow penetrate or deflect?

This is the one thing that concerns me with wide cutting micro heads.  Who knows it may deflect with a standard, it might not deflect with a magnum just food for thought.  Broadside, either one will be lights out if hit in the right spot.

Agree ...I could careless how big a hole I put in an animal...What is important to me is ARROW PLACEMENT AND SHARPNESS ...Those Little Wasp Boss broadheads leave a serious blood trail everytime

Hey bowhunter45, does wasp pay you for each post? Or is it a monthly amount with a required number of.posts each month? 


Just giving you hell man!

[BOWHUNTER45]

No .... My point is this ....If you never tried them then there is no need to bad mouth them ....Why Wasp has never taken off like other companies is beyond me ... I have shot wasp since I was a youngster.... They are so deadly I have to try and help them out .....Muzzy sucks compared to wasp and pretty much copied their design ....I let my kid shoot muzzy a couple times and everytime the blades fall out or break ... Not happening with Wasp .... toughest steel blades known to man .....I wish someone would just go buy some ( 100 gr Wasp BOSS ) and kill something with them besides me ...and please aim dead center on the shoulder and watch some sheet happen  Not that I highly recommend shoulder shots with a bow but the few I have shot there were dead in seconds and complete pass threws .... The low profile blades and sharpness and the chiseled tip is no match for any big game animal the way I see it .... I am just sharing what I learned while bowhunting 32 yrs ... thats all ... nothen ment and lots of good broadheads out there ...just practice and shoot straight

Well I haven't tried wasp heads... I am just entertained by all your posts about them!  and you are right there are plenty of.good heads out there.

I've become a wimp and have to shoot a lower poundage bow and thus, need a cut on contact head.  Anyone try the Razor Trick?

Never used those Wasp Boss broadheads they do look cool, But I love my standard Slick Tricks they do the job and fly true....

I shoot ST 100 Mags AND LOVE THEM! I started shooting them 2 yrs ago and have taken 2 deer with them. Both have punched threw bone with not a ding on furrel, the blades had some dings, did not break though. Last years deer had an exit wound 4" in diameter.

[BOWHUNTER45]

In all reality if your broadhead is sharp ....I mean razor sharp and you place that arrow in the kill zone then it should be game over ... But the problem is when blades fall out or break when hitting bone is the biggest problem ... What gets me is when I hear guys say I just nailed a deer or elk dead center threw the lungs or heart and then come and say I lost it  knock on wood I never ever shot an animal threw the lungs or heart and lost it ....how can this be possible ? Unless you chase after something as soon as you hit it , then I can see maybe something getting away .... I shoot #70 with a 100 gr wasp and it pretty much has zipped threw everything I have shot with them and a couple shots were 60 yrds or more .... thats why I brag about them so much ... I remember shooting the 125 gr wasp many years ago and then came the Wasp Boss and man I am here to say it is night and day ...they fly great , they hold together and very sharp ....tHIS IS JUST MY OPINION and I respect everyones opinion ... most of us older bowhunters have tried many many different broadheads and we are here just to share knowledge ... Of course mine does not mean much

Look at the new Vipertrick.

[D-Rock425]

The price is good. They fly good and haven't had one come apart thats all i need.  The rest would be up to the shooter.

another thing is cost ....I used to get 6 wasps for $ 39.00 now its 3 for $ 39.00    bowhunting is such a cheap sport 

[BOWHUNTER45]

have you guys shot those slick Tricks threw a sheet of 3/4 inch plywood ?  or a cinder block ! that will tell ya how tough they are ....
