Default Anyone have this issue with slick tricks?

My tricks are wonderful except the fact that the blades are a bit loose even when I tighten them down on the arrow. Problem is, it makes a noise coming through the air when shot. sounds like a bee. The blades are going to come out of the head, but I can't figure out why they won't tighten all the way down.

dang VA--I was really thinking about ordering the Slick Tricks....I am still having problems keeping good groups out to 30 yards with my Muzzy's....they seem to fly well even out to 25 yards, but 30 and beyond, they are not doing well(maybe it is me)....I was hoping the tricks would solve the problem.

Something must be wrong with your assembly, they shouldn't be loose at all. This is the first time using slick tricks for me but hopefully someone on here who has more experience with them will know what your problem is

I believe you are missing the washer that goes on the ferrule beneath the blades to lock them in place. That is the only thing that would cause the problem you describe.

Mine also lock down tight. Do what Bruce said, and check to make sure you didn't forget/drop that little washer during assembly.

I didn't forget the washer, been on there the whole time, plus I use the Broad head Adapter for the Axis arrows. With or without the adapter they are still loose. Like I said, they are not going to come out, they are not that loose, but you can hear them rattle and wiggle them.. I even had Swampcollie look at them and he couldn't really figure it out either.
