It sounds like a good BroadHead Overall
But really do you guys have any Pix?
I love seeing whole holes in a deer made by a broad head

PS when i said i am new to bowhunting that does not mean i am new to hunting.
Well first off Welcome new Bowhunting Friend!!! I can't really comment on which BH is better bewtween the two because I don't hunt with either. But I did want to say that, thats the best part about bowhunting to me. There are so many options!!! Don't limit yourself to deciding between two BH's because you hear and read alot of hype about them. Sure they are both excellent heads and you may be please with either one. However go and shoot as much as can, you never know what you might find that works with you and your set-up!!! Just my two cents- good luck to you and have fun with it

Default broadhead

I must admit that once I tried Slick Tricks I was totally sold on them compared to anything I had previously tried. I haven't tried Rage and see no need to as ST's have always shot right with field points for aboutfive of us and they are deadly. I wouldn't want to try a mechanical when a fixed head works so well.

Slick Trick Entry holes on a couple of deer....




Wasp Jak-Hammer Entry holes....




Now the BIG difference is....... The Slick Tricks were able to be sharpened and used again without blade changes or anything after going through those 2 Big old does and both BH's HAD been through at least one other animal before those two does picture. While both Jak-Hammer BH's were in need of at least one blade needing replaced, after going through those deer. Blood trails were 50 and 70yds for the ST's, while they were 70 and 130yds for the Jak-Hammers!!! And 3 of those deer had their heart hit while the 3 had her Aorta severed. All of the blood trails were sufficient, actually,the first doe pictured was "tracked" by my 5yr old just to let her get out in the woods, and she followed the 70yd trail in a matter of a couple minutes walking me right to the deer!!!

Here is HER "Hero Picture......"


Hope that gives you something to think about in your decision making process.

The point being that any broadhead out there will do the job and there is no telling when or when not you will have a great blood trail. Put the shot in the place it needs to be and you are set. I would shoot either or but I prefer a fixed blade head.
I 100% agree! Alot of hunters blame their bad shots on their broadheads When really if you are accurate enough you could make your kill with a practice tip. Well said wheatly.

I didn't vote because I don't shoot either of them...Muzzy's here. Tough as nails, and replaceable blades are SHARP! There is a reason that they have been around as long as they have. I have only bow hunted one year, and only took one doe, but am definitely hooked! The muzzy definitely did it's job. 50-60 yards track job.

Now, between the two you mentioned, I would vote the Slick Tricks...never have to worry about the performance on a fixed blade. More power to you mechanical head guys though...just my .02

I agree with the others, the slick trick does the job! I have taken 16 deer with one head, all pas thru's. I would still be shooting it but after going through the buck it stuck deep into a tree root and I couldn't get it out. The one I am using now has taken 4 does and 5 bucks, and still ready for more. I just clean and sharpen. If the blades go bad you can get replacements. I don't take picture of the gore, but one of the bucks shot this year went 10yds with blood everywhere. I have had complete pas thru in a spine shot.
