I got outside and shot a couple dozen arrows tipped with my newly acquired 100 grain Slick Trick Magnums yesterday.

Wow. For a fixed blade broadhead and given that my Muzzy’s were flying approximately 5-6 inches left of my field tips and mechanical broadheads, Slick Tricks are the real deal.
I had them dancing around my field tip arrow for a couple shots before I decided that continuing on like that was going to shave a few fletchings off. Not only was I impressed with their flight, but the penetration was great. Now, I know a 3d target isn’t exactly a white-tailed deer, but – my field tips penetrate 5-6 inches. Slick Tricks = coming out the other side of the 3d target. Comparing that to my Muzzy broadheads which basically mimic the field tip penetration.
So, with the practice session passed with flying colors, I just have to wait until bowseason arrives to put them to the real test. As of right now though, I would recommend anyone who is having trouble to get their fixed blades to fly right and don’t want to purchase a mechanical broadhead – visit Slick Trick’s website or find some at your local dealer and give them a try.
I will update this field test when Slick Trick meets meat.
