From: YZF-88
06-Aug-20
Shot them this year for the first time tonight. Got a little too close for comfort at 50 yards and shaved off a couple vanes.
Been happy with them since my first deer in 2005.

You know it! Been shooting slicks now for the last 5 years. Don’t see myself changing anytime soon unless the company takes a tumble in the wrong direction as far as quality goes.

@Grubby.... “ Show everyone what the entry wounds look like Brad”

From: spike78

Never a bad blood trail with the standards. Probably the sharpest replaceable bladed heads on the market.

Been shooting them for about 11 years, no complaints! I prefer the 125 magnum out of my set-up.
From: bowaddict
07-Aug-20
Just about since they came out, standards for me and vipers for son. Constantly searching before that, won't change unless they do! Accurate, strong, good penetration and good blood trails!

@DC,
I shoot an old slow bow, and I've seen where SlickTricks due to the steep angles don't always penetrate the way my other heads do.
Before anyone gets all bent out of shape, I think I've shot maybe 6-7 elk with them, countless deer and antelope and bears. They are great heads, but out of my bow, shooting 230ish FPS, they don't penetrate that great on big critters such as elk.
From: HDE
09-Aug-20
Magnums have more of a "blunt" angle compared to the standards. I've always preferred a steeper blade angle and smaller cut diameters because of that.
No issues with complete pass thru using standards in the past on elk.

How did you stick one that deep in your hand?Was it a hold my beer and watch this?100 grain mags only way to go
From: cnelk
10-Aug-20
I didn’t stick a BH in my hand. It just ‘looks’ like a SlickTrick entry. Lol!
That’s what happens when a breaker bar slips when removing a wheel.

Still sending 125 razor tricks down range after all these years. For the most part it's been pass-thru's and pile ups when I do my job.

Viper 125s have been in my quiver the last 5 years and I can’t find a reason to change. 3 dead elk and a few whitetails. Pass through on 2 different elk at 50+. Love em!

Slick Trick Magnum 100's and Razor Trick 100's this year for me.....might toss an Exodus 100 or two in there as well......but the Tricks have never failed me!
From: Big Joe

80% of all my animals shot, were killed SlickTrick 125gr Magnums. I have about 8 different heads in my bow case, but I can't seem to get myself to shoot anything else. They fly great and I have the utmost confidence in them and only had one that broke 3 blades on a 400 pound European wildboars shield. They are easy to sharpen on a Lansky.
I shot a springbuck this season at 69 yards and recovered him 40 yards further. I also shot a blue wildebeest with a pass through and it only went 12 yards after the shot. The only problem for me is the lack of blood on the trial, but when you see them going down it isn't a problem.

Being a Mech Eng/Machinist the Slick Trick lineup is the most accurate manufactured BH made. The concentricity, straightness is superb. When you start screwing on steel tips to an aluminum ferrule then adding collars all you get is a build up of unwanted tolerances. Resulting in a BH that has run-out and straightness issues. An off center BH will wobble like crazy when its spinning at 350 fps, Tricks never wobble.
My point is why use anything else, Slick Tricks are my favorite. Aluminum is made for Beer Cans, not broadheads.

the 1 1/8 wide ST Magnums have worked nicely on hogs and deer. Always have 2 holes for better blood trails. My buddy uses the 1.25" wide GrizzTrick 2 broadheads, he get huge entry and exit holes.

I shoot Tricks, but have been enamored with their "Raptor Tricks" for whitetails. Any of you guys (gals) used the Raptors? I bought a pack, and they are darts at 50, haven't shot further, just curious of real life experience.

My 11 year old daughter sent a slick trick magnum through a doe yesterday evening. I could see blood gushing as the doe turned to run and there was a 100 yard trail that was one of the best I’ve seen, even with just one hole and an arrow plugging it.
