Slick Tricks passed the steel drum test.  Out of my Bowtech Guardian shooting a 510 grain arrow at 300 fps.  It ended up in the center of the barrel unscathed. :tup:  The tip got bent over slightly.
Yeah I know ... if a broadhead holds up then it should do the job ....but many fall apart ...go to Wasp archery and read up on what I am saying .... :tup:

I don't have pictures but I shot a deer with a slick trick and it went straight through the shoulder and it stuck in the dirt. All the blades were curled but none broken and left one heck of a hole in the deer!

I've shot wasp boss bullets for the last 6 years, did fine with them, have broke blades, bent ferrels etc...switching to shuttle t locks this year, since they have changed their sharpening process. Started shooting them tonight and fly like darts and hit the same as my field tips...I cant wait to let the air outa a Moose this year with them!

That doesn't look like a slick trick head I have seen before.  None of the ones I have seen have blades like that or a radiused ferrule.

Steel Drum Test. Fast forward to 4:55 for the start of the fixed blades. Got to 6:03 for the Slick Trick.

BOWHNTR you told me to visit Wasps site so I visited their website. This is what I learned. They did not mention what the tip or ferrule is made of. This leads me to belive that the Wasp uses an aluminum ferrule otherwise they would brag about their ferrule being steal just like everyother company does that uses a steal ferrule. Wasp claims the Boss is a cut on contact head which it clearly is not. (What other false claims do they make)  :dunno:

So after researching Wasp broadheads this is why I won't switch from Slick Tricks.

Slick Tricks have a larger cutting surface 2" compared to Boss 1.5"
Have a steal ferrule so its tougher.
Slick Tricks have thicker tougher blades .035" compared to Boss's .027".
The Slick Trick costs $5 a pack less than the Boss.

As far as penetration in one test the only head that out did the Slick Trick was the 150 grain German Kinetic Silver flame. But that costs $70 for 3.

I have seen videos where people shot Slick Tricks into a cinder block, steel plate, plywood, steer shoulders, steel drum and the head and ferrule were undamaged. Blades didnt break or bend. I shot 3 animals with the same head, busted through an elk shoulder and its ready to go again. I have not seen people do these things with other heads and have them survive as well.

Colockum ...never said you had to quit shooting the broadhead  :dunno: just because a blade is thicker does not mean it is tougher ....take that slicktrick and use 2 pair of pliars and try to snap it into 2 pieces ..( put safety glasses on first  :chuckle:) I am sure the ferrule on a wasp is steel ... not 100% sure but pretty sure ...as far as the tip goes it is TROCAR ... A CHISELED TIP WITH SHARP EDGES which means it is cutting on impact ..I have killed a few elk and they have all been pass threws ... straight threw the shoulders and all flopped over in front of my eyes ...I do not want to sound like mister know it all but last year I posted a sheet load of arrows I killed things with and all have flawless Wasp Broadheads on them ... I can kill more than one animal with the same arrow but I save all my kill shoots ...perfct arrow or not .. thats just my way of remembering the animals I have taken ... I will post my next move  :chuckle: :chuckle: 8) AND SOMEONE please send me a slick trick so I can test it with a wasp .... No I will not go buy one ... :dunno: :chuckle: :chuckle:

The ultimate volunteer broadhead test.  It is not yet completed, but 2/3 done.

check it out, but it is 28 pages long so far and growing. Some very cool information.

BOWHNTR wasn't busting your balls or nothin. I did what you asked and checked them out and just posted why I wouldn't pick them over the Slick Trick. And we will have to disagree on what is considered a cut on contact head. By WASPs and your definition the Slick Trick is also a cut on contact head. (Which it is not.) Again just my opinion.
