I tried them 2yrs ago on a friends advice. At 13yds the ST just stuck into the shoulder of a large 8-point. We found the broken arrow,only 2" went in. My friend agreed the muzzy's I normally use would have gone right on through. I'm sold on Muzzy!

Dr. Andy, Im a die hard Muzzy fan and have shot them for over 10 years but I will be ADDING the Slick Tricks to the quiver this season. Ive had some Muzzy go thru bone and others that didnt. No two shots are ever the same. Even with Muzzys.

RE: Slick-Tricks - Retooling Until June 1st.
Like many other fanatics on this board, I've tried many fixed & expandables--and have always given an ear/eye to "5 Shot" field testing broadheads.
We all have our likes and dislikes and obviously we're all not the same.To each his own, with all due respect.
Nevertheless, I personally have had excellent results with the Slick Tricks heads. When I first started using themfour years ago I shot a moose @ 42 yardswith a Champion Mustang, 55 # DW, 27.5 DL generating a mere 338 fps &48 pounds kinetic energy. To my surprise, I got a complete pass thru, the moose dropped 46 yards from where it was hit and died in about 45 seconds.
Since then the Tricks have given me many more trophies, on bear, deer and hogs.
As for the sharpness of the blades, I'll say I've seen sharper blades--but my goal is to kill what I'm shooting at and if a braodhead can get this done, then I've accomplished what I've set out to do.
Shoot an animal with a pretty decent braodhead in the vitals, you'll take it home with ya--shoot an animal with a razor sharp blade on a bad shot--the razor blades ain't going to be worth nothing.
All said, I am a believer in the 'Tricks'--and I'll be standing in line to get the new 2006 version--even though I still have about 6-sets, brand new, still in the old square packaging

Something doesn't sounds right to me.

RE: Slick-Tricks - Retooling Until June 1st.
Sorry guys--I stand corrected--that should have been a mere 238 fps, shooting a GT Hunter 3555, weighing 378 grains.
My mistake----certainly wouldn't be a 'mere' 338 fps--I can't even get that speed from my new Tribute, and backthen I was shooting a old Champion single cam Mustang, which I later switched for the ETS Scorpion.
