Favorite Broadhead
I am new to this forum so forgive me if this thread has been on before. But I was wondering what you gentlemen consider your favorite broadhead. I have been archery hunting for a long time now (over 40 years) - long before compounds were invented, and have used many different types and have taken deer and other game with them. Some of you old timers may remember the Hilbre. (took my first deer with one of those things). I've also used Bear razorheads, Rothaar Snuffers, Wasps, Thunderhead, Muzzy 4 blade and 3 blade and lately I have been using the Magnus Stingers. Except for the Stingers, every broadhead I used required some minor sight adjustment when switching from field tips. But the Stingers did not. They hit the same POI as my field tips out to 50 yds. Although not the strongest broadhead, like the G5, they were strong enough to pass through a bull bison and wild boar.
Now I personally have no desire to use a mechanical broadhead. Nothing against them, I just prefer not to use them.
So what do you guys consider the best out there?

You should check out Slick Tricks. I used to be a Thunderhead man and had good luck with them, but always had to tweak the sights a little after using field tips. Not so with the Slick Tricks, they fly as advertised like field points. Slick Tricks 100 magnums are 4 bladed, extremely sharp and durable, they did a number on the 2 bucks that I took with them, 1 of them straight down through the spine and through the heart and the blades still looked great.

Slick Tricks, is there really anything else!? All steel construction, how many heads can say that? Replaceable blades, but thick enough (.035) that blades can be resharpened. Four blades that interlock with each other, that unless you put them in a vise and hit them with a hammer, the blades will not come out, or move. A three pack is less money than most out there. I have shot these through dozens of bows that I set up and get great flight out of all of them. I do not have the worry when shooting at any animal whether the blades will deploy or not. The blades are german Solenger mfged, so they are razor sharp out of the package. I could go on but you get the picture, now get some st.
