RE: Slick Trick broadhead deflection tests completed
Oldhootowl,
Thanx for the post. That really helped me. Now that we have more feedback (concider the source...yeah, but I trust you) we can can look at a larger sampling.
MY fear was that I heard VERY little about these heads from people that actually USED them. Then the only reports were the same as mine. I honestly beleive that my animal could have, or was turning AS the head hit him...a no win for ANY head.
Like I said, your heads have outpenetrated ANY head I have tried (including steel force, and Shockwave and Muzzy).
To be honest though, I am looking at going to a slightly heavier head next year (going from CX 200 to 300, and from 60-65 lbs...need a little more head weight for proper spine). I would LOVE to see a SLIGHTLY longer Slick Trick....but then again, 32 degrees IS a pretty steep shot.
I can't say a slick trick is LESS likely to deflect....but can say ALL heads CAN deflect. making it a TOUCH longer would make me feel better. And if you have read many of my posts, you know that I think CONFIDENCE is more important than anything else when it comes to accuracy.
Thanx for making an inovative head!!!
I have re-concidered, and WILL try the head again for our late Wisconsin bow season...wish me luck!
