RE: SlickTrick Broadhead failure? (pics & long)
NOTE: For those that feel huntmup and I had fluke experiances, I WILL say this. In MY tests (No quartering test was done) The slick trick heads were AWESOME! I have some tests for simulating bone, and the slick tricks beat Muzzy tips. Also a quick easy way to test a heads durability, is to shoot a coconut. The Slick Tricks won that test going away. They are pretty much as accurate as field pooints (I wouldn't say BETTER than FP...let's be real here) and after using the SAME head on coconuts, AND my simulated shoulder blade the head STILL looked new after a change of blades.
If your NOT worried about these heads deflecting...BUY them!!! I have not tested a better head!
I will also say that it COULD be some odd coincidence that huntmup and I had...maybe the animals DID spin JUST as the arrow hit them...only slo-mo replay can tell us for sure.
But for me (let me repeat...for <u>ME</u>) the stories are just TOO similar. I knew the shot was perfect, and was in dis-belief when I saw the result. Again, it COULD be the animal turning...who knows. But for now...I am going to use a different head...one that performed VERY well on a quartering shot. I am not going to "test" heads on deer or any other living animal. <u>I</u> simply do not have the confidence in these heads. that is the ONLY reason I am not shooting them until I see some credible, realistic tests on quartering shots with these AND OTHER heads.
I wish Slick Trick the best, and I am VERY confident they will gets GREAT results from lots of people....just not me for now.
