Fullfan Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Re: slick trick broadheads I started with them last year. Fly just like my target points, 4 blade with a awsome cut. The furrul is solid steel and hard as a rock. Great customes service also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallone Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Re: slick trick broadheads I've been using them for two years and love them. fly just like field points and leave big exit holes! I would definitley recomend them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAbowhunter4life Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Re: slick trick broadheads www.slicktrick.net They fly EXACTLY like field points, are made of solid steel and have 4 .035" thick stainless steel blades which makes these things virtually indestructable. Best part, aside from flying like mechanicals, they offer a 1 1/8" x 1 1/8" cut which equals 2 1/4" of cutting surface, so they will do just as much damage as a large mechanical head will. IMO, there's not a better head on the market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhunter91 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Re: slick trick broadheads I just recently ordered a pack of them in 100 grain in the 1 1/8" magnum size. I can't wait to get them. Should be getting them this week. I will shoot them and see how the fly. Depending on how they fly, it will determine if I use them this turkey season.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Re: slick trick broadheads Joe, I have heard that for Turkeys you want to use a Mechanical and not a fixed broadhead. You want the broadhead to stay in the bird and not a pass through. I could be wrong but that is what I heard, anyone else hear the same when hunting turkeys to use a Mechanical broadhead instead of a fixed?

hutchies Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Re: slick trick broadheads Never hear that but I think it you put a good shot on one you won't have to worry about it. The one thing Brooks Johnson (co owner of Double bull) says it that you can't ever hit a turkey to high. You hit a high shot and you take out a wingbone or spine and they can't fly off.

I've heard nothing but good things about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigbuckmiddaugh Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Re: slick trick broadheads I've shot them, good head, seemed too loud during flight. You could here them going thru the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use mech. heads for turkeys just because they have a larger cutting diameter and allow for some off placement, but accuracy is everything.

Washi Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Re: slick trick broadheads I'd like to try the Slick Tricks for deer. Now for turkey I'd like to try the Rocket Sledgehammer 3-1/2" cutting diameter. I don't want to chase after a turkey in my wheelchair. If I chop it into three seperate pieces I won't have to chase it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I know lots of people that have made good shots on turkey and had the bird fly off or run off and never recover the bird (me for one). There sure isn't alot of blood to track on a turkey. I've killed turkey both with mech. and fixed blade broadheads (muzzy) sure it can be done, but your odds of finding that bird after your "perfect shot" with a larger cutting diam are much better. The more trauma you cause the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: slick trick broadheads Well... my slick trick broadheads arrived today in the mail!! But unfortunately, I cannot shoot them just yet. The wind outside is gusting up to 50 mph. I really don't wanna be caught flinging arrows in that!

[/ QUOTE ] In no way did I try to discourage people, sorry if it came off that way. The new April issue of Bowhunting talks about bowhunting turkeys. Great advice in it. I suggest others to read it. They suggest not chasing them down as I suggested. Most shows on TV do show the hunter running down the bird but that is not advised. Read the magazine as it has some great tips. Getting a bird with a stick and string is a major accomplishment as only a small percentage do it in my state. Good luck to those who do!

Squirrelhunter91 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Re: slick trick broadheads I shot the slick-tricks today and let me say, these things fly exactly like field points. I think I found the only broadhead that I will ever shoot again. It doesn't look very likely of me ever changing now. I just can't wait to see what these bad boys do to a groundhog/deer/turkey...
