PotashRLS Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 A person's archery setup has to be matched based on certain criteria. To know what would work well for you, we'd have to know your equipment. What bow, draw weight, arrow type and length, and rest type. All these things combine to work in harmony together.

RangerClay Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) SLICK TRICKS!!! If your Muzzy's shoot good, then keep it. I shoot the Slick Tricks. They are all steel, one piece and are tough as nails. They'll shoot the same as Field tips to 50 because I've done it. Here are the facts: The blades are thicker than most other broadheads: .035" The steel in the blades is the best steel from Lutz. They are using there Mercedes Grade steel. They are going from knife grade steel to custom knife grade steel. 25% stronger and better edge retention. The blades come from Solingen and have a Rockwell hardness of 54, I believe, which is harder than all others except the Silver Flames. There are four blades, with a combined cutting surface of 2" on the smaller, Standard head, and even more on the Magnums. The Alcatraz locking system causes the blades to be interlocked within the ferrule. They cannot pop out. The new ferrules are constructed of a steel that is stronger than titanium. They fly extremely well and are guaranteed to fly like a field point, or you get your money back. $10-$15 dollars less than the companies like G5 that copy Slick Tricks. The owner of the company will quickly and faithfully reply to all your inquiries. Lastly, Chuck Norris is afraid of Slick Tricks!

Leo Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I am very impressed with Slicktricks as well. The Slicktrick Standards penetrate like drills from my setup. They proved very effective for me in Africa last August! They are very tough heads. Buy the Standards or the Magnums. Magnum blades and Standard blades fit the same ferrels. If you want the larger cutting diameter put the Magnum blades in. If you want better penetration put the Standard blades in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearClaw Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Shoot G5 Strikers and they shoot good for my set up. Shot Slick Tricks but didn't quite match my set up but they are very good broadheads. Post your set up and that will help determine what might work best for you. You can also go to your local bow shop and talk to them. They might have some demos on hand that you can try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 125gr G5 Strikers and 125gr Slicktrick Standards fly the same in both of my setups. My two setups are pretty different. One is set at 80lbs the other at 67.5 lbs. That's a pretty good spread. Until I read your post I would have considered them interchangeable. Apparently that's not true for everyone. Which Slicktrick head did you try?

BearClaw Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 The standard 100 gr. They shot well, just the Strikers seemed to shoot a little better. Could have been me and not the broadheads. I wouldn't discount them as not interchangeable just yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintlock1776 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Magnus 4 Blade Fixed on Bow or Crossbow. Deer drop dead in their tracks. Longest one ran off was about 20 yards. The rest, dropped where I hit them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 what broadheads do you shoot? Muzzy 3 blade 100 grain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I've shot Crimson Talons for about the past 6 or so seasons. They're a good head....do a ton of damage and leave good blood trails. The only down side is they are a pain to remove from a target and the aluminum ferrules are a little weak. Other than that I've got no complaints. I'm planning on switching over to Slick Tricks for next season though. I've heard nothing but good about them and am looking for a little more durable head.

Jeramie Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Muzzy 3 blade 100 grain. Same here. Price wise they are low end but overall they are a great BH. Solid, dependable, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I have been shooting NAP thunderheads for a couple seasons now. They are not real expensive, fly good out of my set up, and the they are tough. Sharp too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3seasons Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 RamCats. Awesome heads. I also shoot Muzzy MX-3's Both fly like darts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not real expensive, fly good out of my set up, and the they are tough. Sharp too. I use to be a huge fan of thunderheads. IMHO they are likely the sharpest on the market. I did however, switch to Muzzy a few years back. I dont regret it. They are about the same price but the muzzy are a LOT tougher. They arent as sharp but they are deadly and hold together better than the thunderheads. You may want to check them out. I personally still like the thunderheads but the Muzzy is a lot more solid of a broadhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right the muzzy heads are tough, but I havent had any issues with the thunderheads. The thing I didnt like about my Muzzy heads, was that it took alot more tuning to get them to fly well out of my set up. The thunderheads were easier to shoot, so I stuck with them and havent had any reason to change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 shot muzzy mx-4's, then wasp fixed blades, and not rage 2-blades. i was having troubles with my current setup shooting the fixed blades and ran out of time before the season started so i switched to Rages. they shot exactly how they were supposed to. i get a 3" diameter hole in game with them so i haven't switched. those two fixed blades were tough though! i shot the mx-4 into a blow down after a branch deflected my arrow. i unscrewed the arrow from it and kicked it loose from the log. i looked at it and it looked good. touched the blades up a little and then shot my first deer and predator with that same arrow and head/blades!

Tecumseh Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I shot Thunderhead's for many years and switched to Muzzy a few years ago, The only reason I switched was because they shot better with the arrows I'm using. I'm fletching up some new arrows and will use the one that shoot's the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Been shooting muzzy 100gr 4 blades for a long time and don't plan on changing any time soon unless it's to the muzzy phantoms. Have never had any problems out of the and I like the replacement blades,if you hit something bad you can pull and switch blades to put in new ones and your good to go.

ChrisSeb53 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I purchased some wasp broadheads after last season.. I havent broadhead tuned my bow with them yet, but i am impressed with their construction... they are VERY sharp and look well built.. the trocar tips line up with the blades every time which in theory should give me better flight than my muzzys.. we'lll see...

swohiodave Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Anyone remember Rocky Mountain heads? i used to use those when i was younger and switched to thunderheads, i have strayed a few times but always end up coming back. My crossbow pushed a 100gr thunderhead longways throught a doe last year and lodged all of the way in the rump, and she only went about 20 yards. The ferrule is sitting in a drawer next to me waiting for new blades ( i replace them after any kill). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
