Smoke: I went w/ the slicks because they shot better for me, closer to field points, and better groups. I'll take accuracy and confidence over anything else, and these have a reputation for great performance. Without getting too graphic here, this went REAL quick. I'm looking forward to similar results on deer. These were 4 blade 100 gr. on a GT LII total weight 442 gr. I got some "tarted up" shafts w/ orange wrap and fletch for hunting, hence the extra 10 gr [wrap] from my as you know, beloved D. Miller 431 gr.
