Rage 40KE or Slick Trick?
after not having a good year with my G5 Strikers I am looking to change broad heads. I have never shot mechanical and am not sure about them. I have heard a lot of good, but also some bad about both of these. Which would you choose and why? any pics would be helpful. Thanks.

I've shot all the b-heads you mentioned but I have to say that IF you think you've had problems or issues with the G5 Strikers (one of the best fixed blade b-heads in the industry), then I would seriously suggest you steer well away from ANY mech b-head. Why lose incredible penetration and sharpness by switching to a mech like the 40KE Rage?!?

Ditto. If you are having problems with Strykers then switching broadheads isn't going to help... especially a mechanical.
Having said that, IMO the Slick Ticks are the best broadheads currently made.
BTW, what problems are you having with the strykers?

I have a Fred Bear Obsession, Draw 31" set at 70Lbs. I am not getting good flight out of the G5 broadheads. I am consistent all day with my field points but am all over the place with the G5s I had no problems when I shot wac'em fixed blade the last 3 years but I can no longer find them. I shoot easton Epic arrows with 2' Blazer veins.

You don't think a 340 spine would be enough? I am shooting 30" at 72# and get a much better flight with a 340 spine than a 300 spine. Shooting 125 gr bh's now. Previously shot 100 gr but went up and much prefer it. I suppose it all depends on the bow...could be the same exact specs and shoot differently I suppose.
