Crimson cut-on-contact Viper Venom....I know alot of people bash their durability but have they tried the cut-on-contact Venoms?...NOT the talons....at ranges from 20-40 they are great , stable and keep alot of their speed . Spin like bastids....very stable....

RE: most accurate fixed broadhead.
I would have to vote for the Slick Tricks as well, though I haven't tried all of the alternatives. Last summer, I was tuning my bow which had a drop away rest. At first I had the nock point set up exactly level, 90 deg. Field points were grouping well, but Muzzy 100 4 blades (with practice blades) were hitting just a bit high (1-1.5") at 20 and a little over 2" high at 30. Phantom heads hit even higher by 1-1.5". The Slick Tricks were still hitting with field points - at most 1/2
1" high at 30, but I'm not perfect enough to tell exactly. This was with the bow slightly out of tune. I lowered the rest some, and it helped, but to tune the Phantoms, I also had to put one twist in the control cable. After that, all 3 brands of heads flew very well, and grouped spot on with field points out to 40 yards. The point I'm making is that the Slick Tricks shot much better than the others before the bow was tuned really right. I would think they would be more stable and reliable in windy conditions, or if you were shooting much faster than my 265 fps. arrows. They still cut a pretty nice sized hole when they hit. With really sharp blades, they perform very well.

You need to remember guy's it's most important to have a properly tuned bow in order to get good broadhead flight and accuracy ,that's priority and then find the best broadhead that match's your tune . I'm pretty partial to the Montac's 100gr and have found that they shoot the best for me .

So far the most accurate fixed blade I've shot are the Wac'em Tritons. Next to that are the Gold Tip Centurions. The Wac'ems are more accurate and have an all steel ferul, but the Centurions are WAY sharper out of the box.

RE: most accurate fixed broadhead.
I have been using mechanicals for the past 6 years. I decided this past year to come back to fixed blades. I chose the Muzzy 4 blade and did have to adjust my pins slightly. My choice was between the Slick Trick & Muzzy 4 blade. I wanted to do a lot of shooting with the broadheads. Muzzy offers practice blades & the Slick Tricks seemed a bit expensive to shoot full broadheads into the target (especially when I am not very good at sharpening). I would love to see Slick Trick to come out with practice blades. The Muzzy 4 blade did shoot exactly like its practice blades, but a bit different from my fieldpoints.
