Default Mecanical or Slick Tricks

O.K. so I'm going to try something besides my Muzzys this year. I'm just too lazy to sight in field points only to have to go back and do it again for blades. What would you fellas suggest? I'm either going to get some Mechanicals for which I could use some suggestions or Slick Tricks (which I've heard good things about). The biggest thing is I don't want to have to move my pins between practice and going in the field. Thanks for any replies.

I have seen the Slick Tricks first hand shoot very close to the point of impact of field points on an untuned bow. We tune our bows and have very good luck with Slick Tricks, good thick sharp blades, solid ferrule, reasonably priced as well. We use the 100 grain Magnums.

I have been shooting 100 gr field points since May and this week I switched to 100 gr Standard Slick Tricks and never had to move my sight. They flew exactly like my field points.

Not to get on your case but why wouldn't you want to take the time to tune you bow properly? A well tuned bow will shot field points and fix blades with very close impact points. You owe it to the game you are hunting to have a well tuned bow!

Shuttle t tight points fly like a field point. Also N.A.P. Nitron broadheads fly like field points to and they don't cost a whole lot either!

Slik Trick standards have flow great from a paper tuned bow.
I never move the sight for broadheads.
An arrow that is porposing or fishtailing in flight is not going to penetrate as well as one that's flying straight.

Slick Tricks are:
1. Tough
2. Super Sharp
3. Fly and group like field points
4. Do considerable tissue damage which leaves excellent Blood trails

I really don't know what else you could ask of a Broadhead.
