Been shooting Muzzy broadheads for a couple years and want to switch to something that shoots more like my field points. My buddy recommended Slick Trick. Will go with the 100 Mags I reckon but was wondering if they are a good broadhead? Any feedback would be welcome. Thanks.

Well, you could do a search as there have been 100s of thread on these heads. I use them and they are great. Fly true, cut big holes, and are very durable. This year I shot two deer and one raccoon with the same head. The coon I shot straight down and stuck the head 12" into the ground. On the second deer I broke a rib on entry and exit and the head was none the worse for it. I highly recommend them, as will most others that shoot them. The new blades are also scary sharp.

I haven't used them, but have looked at them. My opinion is that when and if I change from my InnerLoc's I might give them a try. One of the things I like is how the blades lock into the ferrule---very stout.

I will comment about how they or any other broadhead flies. None will fly like field points because they are not field points. However, it's possible to get them to hit the same POI as broadheads and group even better. It depends on how much time and effort you take to align ferrules to your shafts, the straightness of those shafts, and tune the bow/arrow combination.

Arrow spine is one of the most overlooked issues and this comes down to tuning. So the very most overlooked tool for helping with spine is the limb bolts on the bow. Evrybody thinks they have to shoot the bow maxed out and don't want to change the bow weight when sometimes a half turn or a turn up or down with the limbs can makes arrows fly like darts. That's partly how I tune mine and where the bow's weight falls is where it stays.

First year that i have used them....they worked well for me!

I switched from Muzzys to the Slick Trick Mags 100gr!!!!! I'll NEVER switchback! For me there was no sighting in my broadheads because they fly the same as my field tips! I shot a huge Doe at 32 yards busted the opposite shoulder, turned it to jelly. She went about 40 yards and piled up. I could see the entire blood trail from my treestand! Also done some serious damage to a Coyote, ripped the insides if her out thru the exit hole! Go for it!

These heads are incredible. The hole they make are deadly. Best head I've shot so far and I've tried many.

I had the same question about a week or so ago. I went out and did the research myself since I could't get a definite answer here (everyone has their own personal preference here and no professional opinions were posted). I was torn between the Slick's and the Montec's. People are not exxagerating when they say the Slick's fly just like their field points.....they really do. I shot the slicks's the other day and loved'em (I shot the Montecs too). Montecs are no where near as sharp (but youcan sharpen them yourself and they'll be just as good)as the Slick's out of the box. Montec'sreally do whistle as some people have suggested on this site. When the guy told me to get about half way down range and off to the side when he shot. The sound of the Montecs whistling is really there and very apparent. Not saying the noise would affect a shot either way, just didn't want to chance it or have that affect me mentally at the moment of truth. Just adding on as my research is very recent.

"I went out and did the research myself since I couldn't get a definite answer here (everyone has their own personalpreference and no professional opinions were posted)."

I was tempted to give you both a personal preference and a professional opinion but I resisted. But doing the research yourself is a great strategy.

I hope you weren't offended by my above post. I apologize if it sounded as if I were belittling people on this sight. That was not my intention, however, when I posted a similar question to this a week or so ago the responses were few and far between. As a resultfrom the lack of posts I performed the search function and did not find what I was looking for. In turn Iwent to an Archery shop 40 miles away and did the tests myself and got exactly what I wanted. If you have a professional opinon or personal for that matter, by all means,........ post it brother, don't let my comment prevent others from learning from your experiences........ that is another reason for this sight.......collaborative effort and learning from everyone. I have been hunting for close to30 years and by no means do I know everything......just a seasoned hunter.I truly apologize if I offended you.

Hi Guys! I'm using Slicksw/ three xbows. I found that getting the wobble or run out down is crucial to that field point like accuracy. I tend to overdue things having time on my hands, so I converted a defunct arrow straightener to check same, found I had some w/ .012" to .015" differences from one side to the other. Got it down to about .003" by spinning the washers just like Gary says on his site. I just repositioned the dial indicator. Here's a pic if anyone is interested.
