Slick tricks are bad!
Real bad!! I switched from Muzzys to Slick tricks this year. Hunted a deer management area near my house. Saw more deer than you'd believe. Shot four. All died within sight of my stand - no tracking needed. The bad part is the destruction. Wow! They do make a deer bleed. I'm buying more!

They are quite lethal. I have been using them since 07 and have no complaints. The field point like accuracy is unbelieveable. I have had one go about 80 yards even with a good hit. But all the others have went a Max of 60 yards.

While I agree they fly fantastic and do produce a lot of damage. But I tried them last year (Griz trick) and with the light poundage that I shoot (53#) I didn't get a pass thru (did not hit shoulder) at 23 yds. The animal did die within sight which was very fortunate as I had a zero blood trail. I attribute the lack of a pass thru to the 'flatter' design of the blades which produce more of a chopping rather than slicing action. I switched back to my Magnus Stingers and get pass thrus every time with plenty of blood. And the last 5 buck shot with the stingers also died within sight.
Now, if I were to shoot 60+ lbs, I would not hesitate to use the Slick Tricks.

Yeah BB I stand corrected. They were Razor Tricks. I'm not putting them down so don't go getting all offensive. For my lighter weight I do better with a BH with a steeper angle like the Magnus Stinger or Muzzy Phanthom. All of the better fixed blade designs fly great out of a properly tuned bow.
