well, you aren't comparing apples to apples, but i like the slick trick better. The Rage will give you a MUCH bigger entry hole, but the slick trick is FAR more durable. And, it doesn't look like a 4 blade head made the hole, rather......a 1 1/8" drill bit...it's amazing. I've witnessed deer killed w/ both this year (by me) and I'll be shooting tricks next year.

I personaly havent shot the slick tricks but from what I know about them you cant even compair them to the rage. Not even close as far as durability goes. Penetration should be better.

I killed deer with both heads this year. I killed 2 deer with the ST's and have to replace the blades on both(1 passthru), Killed one with the Rage 2 Blade(passthru) all I had to do is re-sharpen the blades and put it back in the quiver! I like both heads but I'm leaning towards the rage at this point, they both fly excellent from my Bow!
Rgae 2 Blade hole, notice the busted rib!

I've shot Slick Tricks since 03. I can't imagine not having Tricks in my quiver
How's this for a Hole?
You think 4 blades doesn't make a difference?Tricks don't open on impact, They Cut![8D]

You actually get more inches of cut w/ the slick trick. Yes, the cutting DIAMETER of the Rage is bigger. Hear me out here....
2 blade Rage = 2" of cutting surface. 2 blades, 1" each.
Slick Trick Magnum, 4 blade = 4 blades @ .5625" each = 2.25
Where does the .5625 come from? Simple. 1.125/2. But the ST has 4 blades, not 2?? Yes, but the cutting DIAMETER is figured from 2 opposing blades.....You've got 2 sets of 2 blades at 1.125 each......1.125 x 2 = 2.25.....So you actually have MORE cutting surface with the Slick Trick. Diameter isn't as big, but it cuts more.
IMPO, you can't go wrong with either head. Like I said, I've seen the damage inflicted by both of these heads this year, and both are simply awesome.

Slick Trick all the way, never have to worry about it cutting/opening. I've shot three der with them, all devastating holes. I'd MUCH rather have a big exit for tracking than a big entry.

just curious, but, wouldnt cutting surface be determined by the angle of the sharpened edge of the blade in relation to the cutting diameter of minus the diameter of the part of the broadhead you attach the blades to?
or to make it easier to determine, just measure the length of the sharpend edge ofone blade and multiply it by the number of blades......
