Slick Trick, no doubt about it!

I used Thunderheads for the past 20 years or so. Also Muzzy's. Thunderheads flew a tad better. Thunderheads and Muzzys however plane a bit more than most heads. Good form, good tuned bow, it doesn't matter. I got a good price on slicks this year, and will be trying out the slicktrick mags. They seem to plane less than the thunderheads and better constructed. I still like the old thunderheads but hate the weakness of the head. One hit in the shoulder the head usually breaks out at the arrow. But I have never had to worry about razor sharpness of the thunderhead and price is usually right.

I used montecs for the past 2 years, and can say they plane less than any head I ever saw. But I didn't like the sharpness problem. I pride myself that I can sharpen any knife or head, but these were tough. You can only do so much with a 60degree edge. I bet I killed 4 deer with the same montec. Still good and shootable. But they didn't cut as I would like. So I moved to tricks.

Shoot Thunderheads off Easton aluminums, and Montecs off Beman carbons. Both fly outstanding, off the same bow.

Tuned bow is a must. I have had excellent results with THeads, Magnus & Steelforce in the past. I also found Muzzy's to be iffy on flight with fps. I picked up a pack of slick trick mags and man I couldn't be happier with their flight. As a result they are loaded in my quiver for my elk hunt next week.

The Wasp Hammer SST are some great flying heads and you can get 6 of them for less than 3 of some of the other brands.

Lightbulb Size and tune

As long as the bow is tuned well, most any small profile head should shoot very well. The thing I like about Slick Tricks is that they fly well, and also do some serious damage when they hit.
