I'm not going to argue, all I stated was the results I had when shooting the slick trick through a steel barrel.

All I know is that my guardian maxed out at 73.8 lbs on a 31" draw length.  All I was stating was the number that Lucky Shot's chrono read.  Three shots (299,297,300).  I really don't care if it is the right number or not.  I'm pretty sure the last couple bulls I shot with this exact setup didn't really care if the arrow was really going 290 or 300 or what the IBO of my bow was. :tup:

I have shot Deer and Elk with Muzzy's, Savora's, Thunderheads, Wac Ems and Slick Tricks. The 100gn Slick Trick Standards are whats in my quiver right now. Muzzys were probably the weakest of them all. .20 blades. Thunderheads had blades come out. Savoras were good when I was shooting maybe 265fps. WacEms are a good head also. I have a back bone I boiled from a deer I shot a few years ago at 70 yards (shooting up hill and hit in the spine) that has my Slick Trick still embedded in it. I also shot a cow elk 2 years ago that the first shot was back after the arrow nicked a branch, I tracked it for a few hrs before getting another shot (facing me straight on loosing daylight and pulling out that day) at 67 yards and I drilled her right between the eyes! Arrow penetrated about 4inches and she flopped over and was DEAD on impact. I have the broadhead and whats left of the arrow still. I really wanted to boil the skull and leave the broadhead and arrow in it but just didnt have the time. ST still looks great tho.

i bet a zillion dollars you shoot axis arrows.  cause thats the only reason your blades fell out of the thunderhead.  the hidden knock system is junk.  yea yea, that system has killed animals, but so have wooden arrows with stone tips.  if you like the axis, put regular inserts in them and stay away from the hidden knock. :twocents:

With axis you're supposed to use adapter rings for any broadhead with an o-ring. And yes, thunderheads have been known to lose blades easily.  Great broadhead, there are just stronger ones on the market.

I have seen videos of slick trick shot into cinder blocks, microwaves, 1/2 plywood, steel drums, steer shoulders, I put one through an elk shoulder and the result is the same. The head still looks good the blades are dulled but not bent and definately reusable. They hold as tight of a group as my field points and are the sharpest blades ive felt. And cost about $10 less than most. Couldn't ask for more which is why I use them.  :twocents:

How far did the barrel go before it dropped?  :chuckle:
Blood trail?

That's the only thing I don't like about the slick trick. When you shoot a steel barrel it doesn't drop at all. In fact it just stands there. And as far as a blood trail on that barrel there wasn't a drop. If it wasn't for tue fact the barrel just stood there I never would have found it.  :chuckle:

I've taken several deer with my bow, and as far as I'm concerned just about any well sharpened broadhead will do the job just fine with a well placed shot.  Right now I'm shooting Shuttle-T's but they're a real pain to sharpen with the odd shaped blade. When I sink some more $$ into my next batch of broad heads I plan to try out the slick tricks.  The Shuttle-T's shoot great in comparison to field tips, which is the same thing I've heard about the slick tricks. 

Well placed shot, nothing to worry about with pretty much any broad head out there.  :twocents:
