Slick Tricks have given me a complete passthrough every single time (9 for 9). Usually the arrow sticks in the ground 3 or 4 inches after passing through. That's a good thing, right?

That's also why I'm thinking about switching to a bigger broadhead. The way I see it, putting a broadhead 4 inches into the dirt after a passthrough means I've got plenty of extra kinetic energy that I'm wasting. I could be shooting a bigger broadhead and cutting more of the vitals, and getting better even blood trails and even shorter tracking jobs.

I've got around 74-75 ft-lbs of KE, and I shoot a 500 grain arrow at 260 fps so that's plenty of momentum too. I'm thinking about going to a 2" cut mechanical. The Rage 2 blade looks good, but I also liked the looks of the 2" Rocket Stricknine the Drury and Primos boys shoot (or used to shoot).

Nothing wrong with slick tricks. I LOVE them. But why not take advantage of my kinetic energy and shoot the biggest broadhead that will still give me a passthrough? I'd rather have a 2" hole sticking 1" into the dirt than a 1" hole sticking 4" into the dirt. Make sense to anybody else, or am I smoking something?
