Default slick tricks not so good

My slick tricks shoot down and to the right 5 inches at 20 yards. Theres no wobble. I tired different arrows and different broadheads but it made no difference. Anyone else have this problem?

Is it consistent, like maybe you just need to re sight your CB for B-Heads? Also, are you using the same grain B-head asyour field tips? Sounds bad, but I have seen guys practice with 100 and then switch to 125 and wonder why they are low. Last year when I tried the Tekan II they where just a tad to the right compared to field tips so I just adjusted the scope and called it good. But they where consistent on the 20, 30 and 40 like that.

yeah there 125's. It is very consistent. The company says guaranteed to shoot like field points so I was disapointed.

What weight are your field points? Are they 100 or 125? Tip weight affects arrow spine and stiffness which affect POI. I am curious if they shoot would shoot just like 125? If you say your field tips are 125 then you need to talk to the other guys on here that like them, can't remember who, but a few guys love them, Dan may be one of them, maybe Mike is, not sure who, but they like them.

Can't help ya bud. I've shot Slick Tricks out of a slew of Excaliburs, they shot great, as long as you got all the wobble out. Set up a Horton HD 175 for a pal last fall, complete kit and Slicks shot 10" low right from field tips at 30 yds,didn't try Hortons low profile b-heads included in package, when I called Horton, they told me to use mechanicals, a answer, but not the one I wanted, still no idea what was up there.

My 100 gr SS shoot to the same point as 100 gr FT on Carbon Express bolts from Parker Terminator too> Try the SS on the same bolts as the field tips.

I shoot 95gr. Bear Bruin Lites, have half a dz. pks. of them. When i go thru them i will switch over to my Rocket Steelheads. My Bruins have to be sighted in as they don't fly to the field pt.area. Now my Rockets do go where the field pts. are.
