Huntmup, The deflection tests I will use are the same as those I did in my early tests with mechanical heads. I used oil soaked 3D targets, thin 1/4" luan board, and this time I will use a fresh deer hide I just happen to have. I can do the test safely as I have around 20 acres to play around on, and no one to get in the way. I will have to agree with Gary, He has sent me heads for testing, and I found the to be excellent heads. I check my records and yours is the first negitive report on the slick tricks. I would feel confident using them myslef, but I will do the tests and compare the results. I will say up front though that I did not find defletction to be a problem with most mechanical heads in my tests, provided the bow was tuned well, and the angle was what one that should be taken on game. I have seen a lot of people take angled shots that were way to steep! I am not saying thats what happend with you, but with tuned equipment and proper shot choices most heads do well.
