I'm a fan of the Shuttle-T's. . . Haven't tried the slick tricks but I understand they're similar in that they deviate very little from where your field tips shoot.

G5 Montecs are what I shoot. Easy to sharpen and tough as hell.

Magnus stingers are what I have been using for the last few years. The lifetime warranty in true. I recently sent back 9 dull,used, or bent heads and promptly recieved 9 new ones. No questions asked.

I shoot a lot of diffrent heads. I could trow out my favorite broadheads "which are g5 montecs" But I would rather ask what is your setup? Are you shooting 50lb 60lb 70lb 80lbs? I like to see shooters shooting 60lbs and under shoot a 2 blade broad head. They take less energy when going into the animal "not as much surface area. Most shooters are around the 65-70lb mark pretty much any head will be great for them. Then you get into the big bows 75+ and I like a solid head that does not use replaceable blades. Like the montec or you can go to the solid 2 blade and  punch threw any animal in the world :IBCOOL: If you are in the 60 or lower range buzz cut,then shuttle t in the 65-70, then montec in the 75+.

G5 Strikers.  Montecs work, too.  Depends on whether or not you want replaceable blades.  Don't get cheap and buy a pack of cheesy "Allen" brand broadheads and you'll probably have pretty good luck.  Everyone has their preference.

Lots of good broadheads out there.  I thought the old Thunderheads were harder to tune up right but I bet they've killed as many, or more, deer and elk than just about any broadhead out there.

 :yeah: I've been pretty impressed with the Shuttle-T's .. on a couple pass-thru shots they ended up in rocks and nasty stuff without hardly a scratch on them :) Not to mention they shoot almost exactly like my field points for getting sighted in :)

This is my shuttle t-lock after burying into an elks offside rib at 35 yds, didnt do anything to the ferrule and just barely rolled over the sharp parts of the blade! I shot the head just like you see it at 40yds and it still grouped with my other ones. They fly VERY well and if you broadhead tune they meet up with field points very quickly. I recommend them if you like accuracy. I have also heard a lot of good things about slick tricks but have not shot them so I cant comment.
