Default Slick Tricks vs Rage

Which of these two broadheads fly more like a field point? I heard slick tricks fly really close to field points. Are the slick tricks easier to tune than traditional fixed blades?

ive heard the slick tricks fly better than the traditional fixed blade, that being said, idk if that means its easier to tune. i shoot the rage, and i can tell you from experience that they fly exactly like field tips. ive shot them out to sixty yards and they group with my fp's. that being said, with an untuned bow, any setup could not shoot well so make sure it is tuned well.

I have both in my quiver... The slicks group very good, but mine were grouping about 3 inches off from the field tips. Simple sight adjustment and they group dead center, but not exactly as the field tips. I like shooting bheads that group with the fieldtips and the rage do just that. You cant go wrong with either but the rage heads group the exact same spot as the fieldtips. The slicks were a tad off, but grouped just as well.

This may sound stupid, but how do you practice with something like the Rage...or any other expandable for that matter. What I mean is this...with my Muzzy fixed blades I use spare blades that have already been shot as my practice blades and then all I have to do is switch out and put in new blades. But with Rage are the blades "changeable"? I did not think that they were and therefor you'd have to pretty much sacrifice one or more for practice purposes. Those dudes are pretty darn expensive to do that.

I've shot all the Slick Trick models including the New Razor Tricks and the New Grizz Tricks. They all fly right with my fp's.

They all FLY like field points.... but none of them hit in exactly the same spot.... its just that nobody is a good enough shot to be able to tell the difference...

Honestly, having shot the Rage practice heads a lot, and shooting slick tricks (which I hunt with) I can't tell a lick of difference at any reasonable hunting range (which in my part of the world extends all the way out to about 12 yards). But no seriously, if your bow is tuned, your arrows are spined correctly and you know your limitations you will do well with either or both.
