Slick Trick Broadheads

[DrenalinHunter]

Im thinking about picking up some Slick Tricks to shoot hogs with and deer next season also...with deer season almost over im looking to add some tricks to my quiver along side my Montecs (putting the Rage up untile deer season) im looking at the Grizztricks, Mags, or the Razortricks...I was wondering if anyone has some pictures of damage (hopefully hogs but deer or other game will work also...the good? Bad? anything yall wanna say about them let me hear it!

Oh yea just incase my bows are

GTO- 28.5" draw and 66lbs

get the RAZORTRICKS.. the cut on contact really do great on the shields

[bowhunter]

I used the Magnums this last fall,and shot a small doe. The hole was huge. Clean pass thru, and was stuck in the ground behind her. Sorry no pics.

Sorry.. forgot the pic.. I have shot quite a few deer and hogs with SlickTricks and have gone to the RazorTricks because of the cut on contact head and hogs.. I didn't get a lot of pass throughs on HOGS with the 125 magnums but I do with the razors, always get pass throughs on deer. No hog pics but this is a little doe a couple weeks ago with the razors
Elite ENVY 70# 29.5"

Was not able to put them to the test on a deer this year, but I will say they fly better for me than any broadhead I tried this year in getting ready for the season. I was using the standard 100 grain. Good luck.

[archer58inPA]

I use the 100 Mags. I've never taken pics of the holes , but they clear out a big hole about an 1 1/2" in diameter. Every deer I shot fell within 30 yards. Dead!

[Daniel Boone]

Make such an impressive hole and knock on wood. In two years I have not lost any deer that were hit.

Good blood trails.

I believe the standards shoot better than newer heads.

This years buck 30yrds and down

[TX...Bow]

I use the 100gr. mags. I've shot deer and hogs. With pass thrus . They make an awesome hole.

[Rev. Juan]

I shoot the ST & Grizz. You need to have some good KE to push all the way through with the Grizz. I shot 3 this year with the Grizz all dropped with in sight.

[Bruce Leslie]

Can't believe I finally got a picture on here. No idea how I did it.
ST 100 quartering hit.
Silver Flames may be better but can't bring myself to drop $30 for a head.

It just a red X in a box! LOL!
I found the Standards fly much better to DB.

[pilot107]

I've been using the STD 100gr Slick Tricks for the last 2 years replacing my Tekan II BH--- awsome BH is the Slick.Fly true as my field points and deadly in the field -- This year I spined a nice 130 class 5 point(10 point in your neck of the woods) at 28m (30yds) and shattered the vertibrea and had a complete pass through dropping that buck right where he stood.Great performance, strong as h*** ,only 1 blade had a slight wrinkle in it after all of that and the ferral was straight and true as new.

[eweese18]

Would never shoot these again. Many people rave how great they are, but from my experience they left the worst blood trails (if you can even call it a blood trail). I assume they would be alright if you have open wooded areas where you can watch the actual game go down, but where we hunt its rock/cactus/medium-tall grasses and everything just blends in on the ground. I shot a hog earlier this season and the trail (tiny specs) lasted about 25 yards then stopped. I had a complete pass through and my arrow was just soaked. Lost the hog. My father shot a buck complete pass through double lung and once again just tiny specs for a trail that almost needed a magnifying glass to see the specs. Good thing I have good eyes. I guess you can't win with everyone, but I wont be shooting these heads again. They were the Magnums. Im sticking to my Crimson Talons/Magnus buzzcuts. Might try the T3 this next season as well.

I like the design of the Crimson Talons but I have herd they dont fly good? I think ill be useing the T3s next season also...probably just for deer unless an unlucky hog or coyote walks past my deer stand

I shoot a 63 lb. GTO and I killed 4 deer this season with Slick Tricks. Recovered all in a reasonable distance. I spine shot one so it was an immidiate recovery, the other three went anywhere from 25 to 80 yards. All shots were in the lungs.They fly as good or better than any broadhead I've ever used, and they are tough as nails. Good penetration too. I will admit that I did not get the best bloodtrails. Good enough to follow and recover every animal, but the Thunderheads that I've used for the last three seasons left better blood trails. I don't know why.

I had the same experience with the blood trail except it didn't start for about 20 yards then it was tiny specs and never a deer. That was last year. This year the G5 Strikers left a great blood trail and recovery was never over 20 yards.

Decent sale on Slick Tricks at National Archery Supply going on right now if interested.

:noidea:Unless I made a heart shot with the slick trick this year, I don't know how the shot could have been any better. As my son mentioned, it was a complete pass through of both lungs. We waited two hours before even beginning the search. The arrow was coated with blood but very little at the original impact site. Blood spots/specks were very scarce and spaced very far apart. The tiny minute size of the specks and distance between them made the tracking extremely difficult. After three hours of searching and not finding any more blood, we called it off at midnight. We resumed the search the following morning and finally found it just by luck approximately 20 yards from where we quit. Unfortunately the weather was warm that night and the coyotes had started working on the back end of it. The buck was just a typical 8 point and not that big but it sure ran a long way after being hit. There was a nice entry and exit hole on both sides that should have produced a lot more blood and dropped him sooner. This has been my only experience with the slick tricks but I think I will just use them on hogs now.

[ArcheryHunter]

I've used the 100 mag's for a few years now and love them. Good penetration, big holes, and the heads are tough.

Thats a good price!:thumb: I usually get mine from seller 'JohnnyDeerman' for $19.99 tmd...but if I cant contact him, I might scoop some of those up.

Anyhow, Ive used a bunch of mech and fixed blade heads over the years but the only head that consistently gives me a kill on a good hit is my tried n true 100gr ST Mags...but id like to bump up to 125gr'ers.

Ive posted bunches of ST holes and damage but here's da latest. Check out this paddle bone:

...it went thru the thickest part of the paddle, broke the leg on the other side, and struck in the ground.

Ya...even a shot up front shoulder cooked in the crock pot for 24hrs, the meat comes out fine and slides right off the bone. Great for BBQ!:)

Anyhow, I love my STs cus I like to aim forward in the front shoulder right where all the good stuff is...makes for quick kills. FYI- Im shooting killer KE...71.9# w/ a 473gr FMJ. Im fairly confident I could shoot an elephant in da :censored2: face and kill it.:thumb:

The crimson talons tend to shoot a bit to the right for me, so I just sight in my sight to shoot my broadheads. When in hunting season I don't need to have my bow setup for field tips anyways so I just adjust my sight to my broadheads and leave it. You want to talk about blood, these broadheads just flood the inside of a deer with blood. I had imeediate blood gushing out the side of the deer I shot last year and went about 50 yards and expired. Opening it up when cleaning it is too graffic to mention.

Just a follow-up regarding my experience with the slick tricks - on the positive side they are made very well and priced right. In my case it killed the deer, however, it didn't cause anywhere near the bleeding compared to the crimson talons I've used. This may have been an isolated case as many others have had nothing but good results with them and I just wanted to try them. It is extremely difficult tracking a wounded deer where we hunt without a decent blood trail.

[Daniel Boone]

I have had such good success with these heads. First deer I ever saw shot was this one with a 40lb bow pictured in first picture.

They make such huge holes. I cant imigine why they would not bleed well. Most of my buddies have witnessed and use these as well with good success. There a good reason ST dont advertise and there very popular. They do exatly what there suppose to do. Make a big hole.

Often times a high hit can cause little blood trail if no vitals are not hit. Deer in ottom picture didnt bleed as good but the shot was a little back with deer qaurtering. He went less than 30yrds and down. Slick Trick did its job quickly.

[DrenalinHunter]

For deer nothing bleeds them out like my Rage! but for hogs shooting a 60lb bow I just need some nice fixed blades...I guess ill see what the Montecs do for me and if they dont give me the results im looking for ill be testing some Slick Tricks either the Razortip or the Mags!

[cottonfish]

I went to the standard 100gr Tricks from my old standby 100gr 3-blade Muzzys two years ago, they fly just as straight and leave much better blood trails. I still have to do my part and position at least one hole below centerline of the chest for something to leak out of. I use the Tricks on deer, and use the Muzzys for hogs and other critters ('cause I have more Muzzys, and Tricks ain't exactly cheap).

[BAD007]

I am not arguing with a couple of you that say the blood trails are bad but i do need one question answered. How can a four blade razor sharp head get a complete pass thru on an animal and then not bleed? My answer is a very simple one for any head that passes thru an animal. It was NOT a good shot and vitals were not hit. That is the only answer that is possible. You simply can NOT pass thru lungs or heart and then not have the animal bleed with a broadhead that is sharp or dull. I also know a high lung hit may not bleed as well because of the exit being too high. There is way more that goes into blood trails than the broadhead. Angle,height,exit location and overall animal health before shot can all be major factors in blood trails. Slick Tricks are second to none in quality and performance. And no i am not saying they are the only heads that will kill.

[DrenalinHunter]

They are only $25 for a three pack? alittle more then Muzzys but thats still pretty cheap
