Actually Davidmil, the guy who asked the question had never used a Trick. He was asking because the popular brand he used wasn't as sharp as he would like, and wondered why sharpness is a challenge for many companies. He simply noted that I shoot straight and am known to be candid, and politely asked me for some enlightenment on the broadhead industry, which I attempted to provide.

I certainly had a choice not to respond at all.

And if you read posts many guys have been pleased with the sharpness, but, as you note, some haven't. Thats why I am working on sharpness consistency.

I do appreciate your praise of the PR team. That would be me. LOL
And all I do is waste a little time on forums.

And its not because of the media blitz, had 3 or 4 ads out last year, I think the first since I began the "super short" revolution in 2000. For a head thats just another broadhead the other manufacturers seem to have taken notice with the heads that followed Tricks.

I do enjoy the field reports guys are nice enough to share. Heres one you might find interesting.

Jason Peterson here, owner of Peterson Outdoors and Executive producer of Hunting Canada and Beyond TV and DVD series. I am sold on your product. Currently I have another Broadhead company on board with a product only sponsorship of the show. However one of my pro-staffers came to Bear camp last week with your 100 gr heads, 2 hours later he killed a 300+ lb brown phase black bear and your head passed through the off shoulder. Simply amazing, I have guided bear hunters and have hunted them myself for 18+ years and have not seen a pass-through on the shoulder of that big of a bear. We hunt and will be hunting and filming everything from Moose to coyotes for this upcoming season of Hunting Canada and Beyond and would like to know if you would be interested in becoming a sponsor of the show?? You have a great product and I truly hope to work with you in the future."

I have on occasion noted that Tricks were a favorite of Bear hunters up north. Usually don't take the time to specifically respond, but I have with that one in case there were doubters.

I do find your "Slick Trick Hype" comment interesting. Considering they have almost no promotion, would wonder what you attribute that to? I can assure you it isn't my good looks.

As the guy who asked the question noted, consistent sharpness is wrestled with by other broadhead companies.

But,performance levels because of design limitationscan't be overcome.On the other hand,blade manufacturing, with enough work, can be. And I assure you I am determined to have consistent sharpness to match the Trick design before season.

Thanks for listening, carry on.
