Rage VS. Slick Trick
 

Okay all you bow hunters out there
I need to know which broad head is better
Rage or Slick Trick
I have heard both get the job done.
But i would like your opinion on the issue.
If you have pix that would be awesome!
Also if you have another broadhead that you use plz tell. :biggrin:

A Slick Trick is cheaper and tougher, and will fly PERFECTLY out of a WELL-TUNED bow. I put the same BH through 2 coyotes and 3 deer last year, and it was still in shootable condition, ready to work. I lost the arrow and BH in Colorado sticking a grouse. 6 animals, ONE BROADHEAD, and the only thing I had to do was re-sharpen the blades. The same ST this year killed both my does as well, and is back on an arrow ready for service right now. The GREAT thing about them is that you almost COULDN'T hurt the ferrule enough that it wouldn't be useable since it's basically a FIELD POINT that has been precision cut to slide blades into!!! Buy a 3 pack of them, you won't regret them. I have several that have hundreds of trips into foam and with a little sharpening, they're READY TO GO!!! Try that with a Rage......:D

go to the rage site , and watch there uncensored video they show gaping bloody messes , but all the deer they shoot the deer runs away with the arrow sticking out of it no pass throughs , so i would say if you wanted peitration go with the slick trick if you want a big entrance hole but possibly no exit hole go with the rage , i have shot niether so , but just watched videos on them . i shoot nap bloodrunners and love them you should check them out , a very good head imo

The ST cuts more tissue going in, through, and out.
It is a hell of a lot tougher.
It fly's every bit as good as any mechanical.
The blades are much sharper and far more durable.
It penetrates better.

So on and so on and so on.

I've shot both and have used the Rage as my primary b-head for the past couple seasons but it ain't no SlickTrick! The ST's are unmatched for pentration and putting blood on the ground!

I like how all the shows show the blood trail most of the time on the rages and say thats why I shoot Rage broadheads. I was watching a show the other night when a rage was used and a well placed shot on an antelope. They didn't mention this time that they were using the rage broadheads because the blood trail was scarce and then just went away. The antelope went a long ways and they never did say how far.

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.

Gospel. Nuf said.

I honestly dont know wich is better, but I picked the rage only because that is what I am using. I have yet to shoot anything with it, but I am hoping to take care of that this season.

Gotta agree 100%

My opinion is based on tons of feedback from my customers as well as my own personal use.

Thanks for the all the info.
I am new to bowhunting but i already love it!
I think i am going to go Slick Trick.
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

Thanks it sounds like you have experience.
That is good advice i think i will try more than 2 broadheads.:s4:

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.

I took this hog with a rage 3-blade,didnt pass through but it ran only 40yds and rolled up.the blade came out in perfect condition,cleaned it up and replaced blades good to go.

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.

I 100% agree! Alot of hunters blame their bad shots on their broadheads:mad: When really if you are accurate enough you could make your kill with a practice tip. Well said wheatly.

Yep could not agree more!
Do you bow hunt?
If so what bow do you have

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.

Barrel Test
 

This has to be a trick question.

Test Drive your Broadheads
 

Both of these are fine, from what I hear, if you have the $$$$$$$$$$

It's all about the benjamins, and lincolns, and washingtons.....

Wow that sorta eliminates the competition i think i am going to go with slick trick or muzzy.:s4:

Go with the Slick Trick, they're TOUGHER, and fly better. Muzzy's were great until about 4-5yrs ago and then batches of them started coming out that 1 in 3 of heads didn't fly true. Looking at the construction of a ST, would sell you for sure, it's literally a field point w/ a chiselled tip, and then it's slotted to allow the blades to be inserted. 4 blades vs. 3 = more cutting, and the blades are considerably thicker than Muzzy as well. Expandables are nice if you like a one and done BH, but if you want one you can practice with and shoot and shoot and shoot, then just sharpen a bit and put through animal after animal after animal, a SLICK TRICK will fit that bill.

sticking with my vortex proved year after year to be a killer with no flaws yet. the slick trick didnt look like it penetrated enough to leave an exit hole in the video the wac em went deep.

Definately the slick tricks overe the rage!IN MY OPINION.
Ive used both.Rage broadheads R a one shot and done deal blades never seem to close right after 1st shot,+they open way to easy.Ive shot deer with both.the slick tricks fly awesome and give u a great entrance and exit hole!Gives u very quick kills cause of the 4 blade cut.Ive shot a deer with the rage.No pass thru?Poor blood trail just little drops here and there I found that deer late next day over 200yrds away!Half arrow and rage broad head still in it 1 blade WAS broke off was gone,The other broke just barely still on broadhead.this shot shouldve exited the animal very easy since NO solid bone was hit!!just rib bone.And any broadhead with a trocar or good steel tip and sharp blades,will go thru game like warm butter and stick in the ground!!!The tip on the rage is rounded bullet like with only a small 2 blade cut tip,but the other 2 sides of point are just rounded?????This is from my experience.All i can recommend after shooting hundreds of different broadheads is if u really want to try a mechanical use the wasp jakhammer.But watchout for quartering shots.Slick tricks fly like field tips.Muzzy 3 blade always worked great,just the blood trails,arnt as good as 4 blade or your 1 3/4"cut of a jakhammer which meens your game will hemorage faster and bleed out/EXPIRE QUICKER.
Sorry for the novel hope some of this helps.
And for those who disagree with this,This is just my opinion,from my experience...Good luck..:s1:

rage all the way






but seriously, with the right shot placement all braodheads work, i just use the rage cause i dont have to change anything from field point to broadhead.

I used a Rage for the first time last year, however, and am pretty happy with the results. I got a complete pass through, and it put a giant hole in him. I've heard great things about the STs, but I'm pretty happy with the Rage for now.

ok , i have used slick tricks for 3 years . but last year i could not find slick tricks anywere near my house so my buddy bought me a pack of rages and here are my thoughts,
2 years ago took 6 deer with the slick tricks all 6 expired within 40 yards with 2 just jumping ten feet or so then looking around not even knowing what happend and all 6 were complete passthroughs,
last year i used rages and took 7 deer 5 were passthrougths and not one deer expired in less then 60 yards.
i believe the slick tricks cut so fast and so clean that the deer dont even know what hit them and they start to bleed out before they can even think.
now the rages take alot of KE to open, and i think they hit the body hard causing the blades to open and inflict a monster whole , but i think the deer feel that massive thumb in the cage and they bolt trigering what i call adranalin running , one doe i took i hit her double lung and she bolted like a bullet and she ran over 80 yards and did not produce good blood until about 20 yards into the trail

well thats just my O , but i know im going back to slick tricks next year for sure
