Muzzys or Slick Tricks?
#4
There is a reason that Muzzy copied the slick trick magnum when muzzy made the MX4.
Muzzy - aluminum
Slick Trick - hardened steel
Muzzy - .020 and .025" thick blades
Slick Trick - .035" blades
Muzzy - decently sharp blades
Slick Trick - scary sharp blades

No doubt Slick Tricks have a lot going for them. They're both good heads. Muzzy has been around a long time and been proven. Although I haven't used Slick Tricks I really like the way the blades lock into the ferrule.
I put a lot of stock into this as blade retention is one of my major criteria when looking at heads. The last thing I want is a blade to peel off in an animal and I'm going to have my hands up inside that animal when gutting, wondering how many fingers I'll have left when I pull them out.
So when it comes to the blade retention idea my three top choices are Slick Trick, Muzzy, and InnerLoc. To that end I use InnerLoc, simply because I've had them for 7 years and see no reason to blow more money on something I don't need.

I have been using Slicks since they came out, and they are amazing broadheads. Extremely durable, accurate, excellet flight, and scary sharp. If it is between Muzzy and Slick, there really is no question to be answered, every category the Slick takes it, just like bigbulls points out.

I hunted with Muzzy's for about 6 years. Then I toyed around with Montecs...went back to Muzzy. Then I tried the Slick Tricks. I can't imagine going back to Muzzy. The Slick tricks are crazy sharp out of the package and in my opinion are more durable. While setting up my bow last year, I made a major adjustment poorly and sent my Gold Tip XT arrow tipped with a Slick Trick into the Stainless Steel 3" tubing that holds up my swimming pool diving board. It "punched" a perfect "plus sign" + into the metal. It didn't hurt the arrow or broadhead. It popped my nock off the shaft, the blades were dull, but not broken. If it can do that to steal, then it can do that to a shoulder.
SLICK TRICKS all the way.
