Ohh I agree with the last statement about stalking and having to check your equipment frequently. If youre using mechanicals and you are doing any stalking at all, or walking through brush it wont take much to jar a mechanical. I dont do any stalking so I shouldnt have that problem. And I rarely have an arrow nocked while walking to and from my stand, so chances of me bumping one before it leaves or reaches my rest are going to be slim, not sayign it cant happen and it wont happen, just saying my chanced of that happening are slim to none.

You can justify your decision to yourself all you want, and it really makes no difference to me at all, but it still will not change the fact that the slick tricks I choose to use, as well as many other fixed blade heads, will not have a blade come loose simply by removing it from the quiver or bumping it against a twig or blade of grass. There are no o-rings to break or rot. No rubber bands. There are no micro screws or roll pins to shear or work loose. The blades are supported at the front and the rear through out their entire length where as mechanicals are heald in place at one small point and get weaker as they get longer.
Did you watch the video I psoted? If so you will realize that there is no question why I shoot Slick Tricks above all others.
I agree 100%. Every one should check their equipment befor they head to the woods.
What I am talking about is having to constantly check them if I am stalking. Checking them every time I put them into or pull them out of a quiver. Checking them if I bump a twig. Etc... Etc...
