Default RE: Rockey mountain broadheads??

I go back and forth almost daily between using Snypers or Slick Tricks this year. I have yet to shoot a deer with either, but I have been practicing extensively with both.

As long as I am very careful with my form, the Slick Tricks fly well and hit where I aim. However, the least flaw in my form together with the Whisker Bisquit rest results in a shot that sails 3" from the point of aim at 20 yards. This is still close enough for a kill shot and I prefer the simplicity of a fixed blade, but I am concerned that additional factors in a hunting situation may cause even more deviation.

As a result, I will probably go with the Snypers. I have created a few "practice" heads by wrapping several turns of fine wire around the head where the rubber band would be placed EXCEPT threading the wire through the blade slots, then soldering the wire. Using this scheme, I can practice extensively with actual Snypers and I find that they are much more forgiving than the Slick Tricks to bad form, slightly out-of-tune bow, etc.

Since I think that reliable shot placement is the number one criteria for a clean, quick kill, I will probably go with the Snypers this year. Of course, I may change my mind again tomorrow.
