My opinion is sometimes they fail. Is it worth the chance?

Wolf Dog, have you or they ever shot the slick tricks against the hypershocks? If you have I would love to see the results.

When you compare feature to feature the slick trick is a much superior head then the hypershock will ever be.

I have to admit that many of the new "super small" replacement style broadheads are just as accurate, out of my bow, as many of the expandable style heads...with very little additional tuning. I shot the Ultimate Steels last year and they flew as accurately as my steelheads.

I first used Spitfires but changed to Rocky Mountain Snypers a couple of years ago. Both of my brothers use them, so I figured I might as well just in case one of us needs one, someone's bound to have an extra.

I don`t use mechanicals and althoughthere are some good ones I hate hearing comments like "their more accurate than fixed blades". Maybe they are out of a poorly tuned bow in the hands of a mediocre shot but I can assure you fixed blade broadheads came shoot just aswell as expandables. Tune your bow and learn good form and you`ll get just as good of accuracy out of a good fixed blade.

Wolf Dog, have you or they ever shot the slick tricks against the HyperShocks? If you have I would love to see the results.

When you compare feature to feature the slick trick is a much superior head then the HyperShock will ever be.
Big bulls yes I have and as for superior I think you are way far off.
A slick trick is a normal head nothing special about it a 20-year-old design.
Please tell me how technology of today has influenced the Slick Trick to be superior.

A round piece of steel with flat sides on the tip and 4 blades that is space age.
Have you seen a compound bow?

I would list all the features that puts the HyperShock above all others in design and engineering and quality but you wont read it with any confidences. You think it is all BS.
Most people do then they try it just like a whisker biscuit- Drop always- single cams- inline muzzleloaders time will tell.

Any person can make an old broadhead. Sell me new stuff that works!

If you would like to read buy an Aug/Sept Bowhunter Mag.
Page 84 My Biggest Buck
Hunter Bob Ameen 4 page not to long he is an AfterShock Archery Pro Staffer.
Look at his pictures on www.aftershockarchery.com

Hunter like him looks for superior product and hunt hard all over the World.

Now all that said I know Slick Tricks work good just like the heads designed 20 years ago. AfterShock is not selling a 20-year-old design it is modern and advanced for extremely high-speed bow and or crossbows of TODAY. Old gear will work just fine but why would anyone design broadheads for old technology?

Thanks

This is not a slam on the people from Slick Trick or the Broadhead
They fly good and work just fine+ stong.

Big Bulls not to harp:
But the Winner of the FITA National Junior Championship. Eric Mamo
Is also part of the ProStaff. I think people like Eric Mamo look for accuracy 1st.

I'd like to try them, but last time I checked Idaho didn't allow them.
