I'm glad Gary is responding. I've talked to him on the phone (as I know many of you have), and his knowledge impressed me. The Slick Trick head flies awesome. As good or better than field point flight. I started shooting them this year, and quickly realized, without making any adjustments from field point use, that I better start shooting a five-spot target. I ruined several arrows at all distances from them smacking each other.

That, to me, means everything. Accuracy is king, and I feel very confident with these heads in my quiver. I know that if I do my part, the head will find it's mark. I've only taken one deer with them, a 175-lb. Missouri buck. I hit it twice, because I spined it with my first shot. I did not estimate distance properly. The deer dropped at that shot, and the second shot took him through the shoulder. Both of the Slick Tricks were driven down into the Beman shaft, and broke. However, with one shot being through the spine, and the second through heavy shoulder, I'm not sure that wasn't acceptable. The deer died seconds after the number two arrow.

I'll admit that the blades aren't as sharp as I'd like, but I think this is due in large part to the blade thickness. I like the thickness of the blades, so I'm willing to touch the heads up slightly. I simply used a fine stone, and after about 5 strokes per side, I can shave my arm hair. Works for me.
