Slick Trick or Muzzy
 

Hello again. Just wondering which BH I should get. Stuck between the slick trick 100 magnums and the muzzy mx4. Now already considering that my bow is tuned properly, which BH with your reasoning do you prefer? Do slick tricks really fly like field points? Would greatly appreciate any input! Thank you

Rich

You will find some that like both, some that don't like both or some who may not like either. Personally I have never shot a Slicktrick and I have shot the MX-4. Just my opinion but I'd rather shoot the new Muzzy MX-3 than the MX-4. I found inconsistentcy with 3 different packs of MX-4s. In all honesty I will be trying neither this fall. I am completely satisfied with the Rocky Mtn. Turbos.......a head you hear little about, but in my opinion is a great head.

This "fly like field points" business is something that I would want to verify on a target - even if your bow is tuned properly. For instance, some bows will indeed shoot broadheads and field points to the same spot when paper tuned to a perfect tear. Some will shoot certain broadheads the same, and others will be not the same. In some instances, you can move the rest and/or nocking point to get the broadhead and field point impacts to coincide. This may result in a less than perfect paper tear, but as long as the arrow is still flying straight, the same impact point with the two types of heads may be the better option. This latter scenario is the case with my Hoyt Pro Tec. My Fred Bear shoots everything the same from a perfect paper tune.

The other solution is to paper tune the bow perfectly and, if the broadheads and field points don't hit the same spot, just move the sight so the bow is zeroed for the broadheads.

Based on the design of the broadhead, I would expect the Slicktrick to shoot a little closer to field points than a Muzzy. But you never know . . . .

Coug got it right... (of course ;)).

Slick Tricks are good heads, and I shot them last year. I'll be shooting the MX-3s this year...

RE: Slick Trick or Muzzy
 

Greg - I haven't seen any of the MX-3's. What's the difference between that head and the regular Muzzy 3 blade?

RE: Slick Trick or Muzzy
 

Roskoe, it's the newest addition to the "MX" series after the MX-4... Basically, same "shorty" profile with the steep blades, but with a 3-blade configuration as opposed to the 4. It also comes in an extremely wide 1.25" cutting diameter, which I really like.

I've talked with some of the Muzzy Pro-Staffers, and everyone is saying this head is flying like a dart... and they didn't necessarily say that with the MX-4, which is why I said Coug "got it right." :)

RE: Slick Trick or Muzzy
 

Forgot to mention... it's also got thicker blades than the other Muzzys (except the MX-4) as well... .025 to be exact.

RE: Slick Trick or Muzzy
 

Thanks. These sound worth trying. Amazing how heads are getting shorter and blades are getting thicker. Basic evolution, I guess.

RE: Slick Trick or Muzzy
 

If I had to choose between the 2... I'd go w/ the ST's. They are very good little broadheads.

muzzy shooter here, im shooting the regular old three blade 100 grains for now, but after i burn these up on does, misses, and hopefully a buck, im getting the mx3. they seem like a beefier version of mine, but at the same weight some how, lol.

I was a muzzy guy but I will be hunting with the new Maniac from AfterShock Archery

The muzzy look with a super thick COC blade just awesome.

I wasn't lucky enough to harvest a deer with my Slick Tricks last season, but I was very impressed by their flight from my bow. I have more confidence in them right now than any other broadhead I've shot. However, dedicated muzzy guys will say the same. Buy a pack of each and see which one you and your bow like the best.

RE: Slick Trick or Muzzy
 

Slick Tricks all the way. Muzzy has an immitation slick trick for a reason. THEY ROCK

RE: Slick Trick or Muzzy
 

im a muzzy shooter. shot the 3blade 100gr head last year. this year i got 125gr 3blade heads to shoot.

the one thing i dont get about the steeper blades is you would think they would add more resistance...the blades have to cut more, faster...i dont know...hard to explain...but some of them are close to FLAT razor blades...opposed to traditional style heads that slowly widen the cutting diameter...i dont know..dead is dead...

i like the muzzys...havent shot the STs though..probably never will. if i switch to anything it will be 4blade stingers or snuffer SSs..

RE: Slick Trick or Muzzy
 

Mauser 06 - I have had the same thoughts. Some of the original hunting broadheads, like the Bear Razorhead and the Wenzel Woodsman, were long heads with a shallow blade angle. The new generation broadheads are all shorter and have a steeper blade angle. My guess is that they fly better,in terms of shooting close to the same as field points. But they certainly have more resistance going through the animal. Maybe this is a moot point in the world of IBO 340 bows . . . .

I have shot a pile of elk, deer, turkeys and all matter of small critters with the Slick Tricks. They are the most consistantly accurate head I have ever shot. I haven't shot a head that kills quicker or leaves a larger bloodtrail either. Being short andCNC machined from steel, they are a great head. I am not an aluminum broadhead fan, especially when hunting elk, but the muzzy rates right there with the Innerlock, which I have also killed a lot of critters with.Here is a picture of a Titanium broadhead that I engineered and will be on the market very soon. It flies extremely well, is the toughest head onthe market in my opinion and bleeds critters likecrazy. Uggg.....I can't get the picture small enough to fit on here. You will have to see it on the web site at www.flinchoutdoorgear.com Flinch

Well, I finally made a decision and went with the slick tricks!! They do fly awesome and very, very close to my field tips!! Can't wait to use them in the field!!

Good choice. You will not be disappointed.
