Is it worth the switch to Slick Tricks?
 
Hey sorry Im sure this question has been redundant but I couldnt find any past posts on this. I tried for one season the Sonic heads and shot one deer with them. Thought they flew good and everything, but I noticed that I didnt like how the blades fit together. Seemed like it was really hard for the blades to fit in perfect. And I also noticed that the blades werent razor sharp like I heard they were supposed to be. Ive heard nothing but good things on Slick Tricks. Should I switch to them? How sharp are they and are they easy to assemble? Thanks for the info.

I've shot a ton of heads out there and the ST's are my absolute favorites. They are extremely easy to assemble and produce awesome results. The blades are definitely sharp and they are extremely durable as well. No question, it's worth the switch.

Those things work slick! thus the name slick tricks. they produce a excelent blood trail and are really sharp and a breeze to assemble

Absolutely worth it to go them. The blades can be a bit of a trick to get in, but they are rock solid once they are, and they fit nearly perfect when they are screwed on to an arrow. The new blades are scary sharp as well. I reallylike mine, very tough, very sharp, fly great.

Couldn't have said it better. They are sharp, tough, and fly great.

True but they whistle like a white bellied blue bird with vulture sized vocals

No whistle from mine. Nothing but short, heavy blood trails and dead deer from my slick tricks. They fly just like my field points too.

I can't say that any of the last 8 deer, 2 coyotes, or 9 pigs have heard the whistle. But then again I can't ask them because they are, well... dead.;)

No whistle here...Most likely your arrows or you didnt install something right...

I won't shoot anything else and have heard no whistle from mine or any of my friends. If you aren't happy with them in any way they will efund your $ with no argument if you return them.

Well a few random reviews I found on the internet someone stated that they werent the sharpest and needed to be sharpened out of the box. Is this true? Cuz everyone else says they are really sharp. I hate broadheads that feel like butterknifes

There were a lot of complaints about sharpness early on. Gary switched suppliers and started obtaining German Lutz blades, and all reports have been good since. I used them last season with good results, and they fly as touted.

Having said that, I'll be shooting Muzzy MX-3s this season. I like the 1 1/4" cutting diameter and the .025 blades on the Muzzys... I've already talked to several people who've shot them, and all reports are that they're flying as well as anything out there on the market. I also like the fact that Muzzy throws in a free set of practice blades with each package.

I guess the older heads, had some sharpness issues. The "new" blades are very sharp. I haven't had any sharpness issues.

Now hurry up and stop reading replies and get out there and buy a package!!!:D

So basically and package of Slick Tricks no matter where I buy them are not going to have the sharpness issue because theyve been dealt with? Thanks for the help by the way

There are a lot of broadheads out there that I'm sure will work well - not too many bad ones. But in this part of the world, the Muzzy three blade is considered the "Remington 870" of hunting broadheads.
