Default Slick Tricks arrive (First impressions....)

Hey there....

I got my 3 pack of 125gr Slick Tricks this afternoon. I couldn't wait to open them up and assemble them.

First impressions:
- These things are teeny!!!
- They look kind of like a small scaled down Muzzy 4 blade.
- The blades are DULL! [:'(]I mean, when assembling them, I could actually put my fingers DIRECTLY ON THE BLADE and I didn't get cut!! (If I tried that with my Magnus Stingers, you'd hear me screaming all the way from Richmond, VA as I would be amputating my finger tips!!!)
- Assembly is straightforward and pretty easy. One blade goes this way, the other goes that way, and they sort of snap together and held tight with a washer/metal bushing.

Flight:
They fly great right out of the package, and yes, they do fly just like field tips. From 30 yards away, they flew right smack into the bullseye of my "Black Hole" target just like my 125gr field tips. Penetration was not anything to rave about (due to the blades being dull). They penetrated out the other side of the Black Hole, with only about 4" or so of arrow/broadhead sticking out. Since the blades were already dull, I figured "what the heck" and shot all 3 Slick Tricks from 30 yards and they gave me 3" groups (left, right, and bottom of the 6" bullseye). To me that is fantastic flight without any tuning issues or anything!!

See the images below and you'll see what the 125gr Slick Tricks look like on an XX75 2315 Easton Camo Hunter aluminum arrow...

Edit:
Final thoughts.... Thank you. Slick Trick.... But, I will be sticking with my Magnus Stingers. Those things also fly beautifully just like field tips, but they penetrate and slice so much, they have actually scared me... The Magnus Stingers penetrated the Black Hole target so hard, the fletchings were starting to penetrate through the front!!! [&:]
