Default RE: most accurate fixed broadhead.

I would have to vote for the Slick Tricks as well, though I haven't tried all of the alternatives. Last summer, I was tuning my bow which had a drop away rest. At first I had the nock point set up exactly level, 90 deg. Field points were grouping well, but Muzzy 100 4 blades (with practice blades) were hitting just a bit high (1-1.5") at 20 and a little over 2" high at 30. Phantom heads hit even higher by 1-1.5". The Slick Tricks were still hitting with field points - at most 1/2
1" high at 30, but I'm not perfect enough to tell exactly. This was with the bow slightly out of tune. I lowered the rest some, and it helped, but to tune the Phantoms, I also had to put one twist in the control cable. After that, all 3 brands of heads flew very well, and grouped spot on with field points out to 40 yards. The point I'm making is that the Slick Tricks shot much better than the others before the bow was tuned really right. I would think they would be more stable and reliable in windy conditions, or if you were shooting much faster than my 265 fps. arrows. They still cut a pretty nice sized hole when they hit. With really sharp blades, they perform very well.
