Slick trick Broadheads

[smokeless77]

I'm thinking about trying the Slick Trick Razortrick broadheads out.
Just wondering if any one is using them, and how they shoot.
Currently using G5 Montec.


Thanks John

IMO, very hard to beat what you are using Smokey. What are the features/benefits?

[smokeless77]

wilmsmeyer,

They G5s are hard to beat, I have been using them since they came out.
Slick Trick's have a bit wider cutting diameter 1 1/8".
Heard a lot of good things about them.
I guess I'm just looking for something better.

Never tried the Slick Tricks they do look similar to the Montec. I like the G5 myself, i find the fly very well. i have consistant groups of 3 to 4 inches at 60 yards anything closer is a cake walk. Plus they are so easy to resharpen. I did just purchase the CS and I will give those a try. they should be the same as the G5 just sharper.

[wilmsmeyer]

Making any of the good heads real sharp is the best asset you can have. And yes, it is sooo easy to sharpen the montecs. A cave man would have loved them

[tdillinger]

I have been shooting the new CS today. they are lighter in wieght to the G5. CS are 102 g average and the G5 are 104 g average. At sixty yards i was grouping 3 to 4 inches. 69 lb at 29 inch draw at 282 ft ps. Im using the 100 g head

tdillinger, when I tested the 100 grain G5 Montec CS, the average weight of six of them, measured on a digital scale, was 98.5 grains.

I have been shooting the G5 T-3 mechanicals and they fly very true head to head. Hopefully will be able to report on terminal performance soon although much of the performance is in the archer's hands.

I dont know what to tell you. I have a Very nice scale and that is what it weighed out. Oh and that was for an average of 6 as well.

I'm used the 175g X-bow Tricks. Very accurate and same point of impact as the supplied 175g field points. Killed a bear on Oct 1, 2010 with one of these. Went 30 -40 yds. There are so many really great broadheads. Good hits and sharp blades seems most important to me. JMO.

I looked at the 175s that you shoot they look like a good sturdy head, and lots of cutting.

Below 60 yds it makes little difference with Red Hot arrows with 125g and 175g Slick Tricks, but from 60-100 yds the groups stay really small with the 175g points vs the 125g points. The blades seem the same but the point is much larger on the 175g point. I get field point accuracy and point of impact. Incidentally, the bear went only 30-40 yds.

[russkull]

I am a big fan of the Montec G5 CS. My point of impact did not change from feildpoint to broadhead. Cant argue w the terminal performance and undamaged when i pulled it from the ground(passthrough shot).

[stubblejumper]

I shoot the slicktricks and find they fly very well for me. Same POI as my field points but if your Montecs group well and hit where you aim the deer wont care which ones you use.

Congrats Steve on the bear but where are the pics???

Computer illiterate Steve will get them up sometime. Harley, will you post my e-mailed picture, please.

[smokeless77]

"Yeah, where is that bear.
Congrats on the bear Steve.

The original slicktricks have a more durable tip than the razortricks. I helped the cousin drag a doe out that he shot last year with the razortricks and it did its job but the tip of the point was bent over like a small hook. The originals wont do that
Last year I shot several dear 4 or 5 i think with the G5 strykers and they were very good performers.
This year I shot a doe on opening day with the Phoenix broadhead by Red Feather Archery. Check them out. They are similar to the montec style but with a single bevel design. They seem to be really well made too.

:)Another Slick Trick kill: an actual #250, tall tined, 4 1/2 year old Arkansas 8-Pt killed about 500 yds behind my back door, after work on Tues evening. Went about 100 yds. Hit lungs and heart - massive wound. The processing plant has scales and weigh the field dressed deer and have a chart to show what the pre-gutted weight should be. They said this is the largest deer they have gotten in some time.
I'll get pictures of both bear and deer up very soon. These are x-bow kills: Strykeforce/HHA Optimizer/50mm WCE/Red Hot arrows/175g Slick Tricks. Yes, life is good!

Congratulations SW, looking forward to the pics, Rusty

Failures and successes...........it's what makes bow hunting so fun.

[tdillinger]

The bear/deer pictures are on the bow hunting success stories section. Finally.

I changed from G5 Striker 100gr to Slick trick 100gr. Had no other reason to change other than I repeatedly kepy hearing they shot just like field points and I liked the 2" of total cutting surface. Got back home from Fort Campbell muzzleloader hunting just in time to equip 5 VAP arrows with them and head off in touch the woods to get supper. 30mins later I was sure they flew just like my field points as the four blades and 33grI Penetrator insert bust through ribs and lungs with ease. Hind sight proves my choice to listen to the 5 or so archery experts and not take time to practice with them first quiet irresponsible thankfully they were right and the tunnel cut out of the bucks lungs made for a quick ethical kill. My new favorite broadhead.

[jaspervtec]

I have shot quite a few deer with both head. Slick trick is by far the sharpest broadhead out off a package you can buy. The montecs are not super sharp because they are forged which leaves them very porous. They are sharp enough to kill, but maybe not enough to shave if you forget your razor for camp.

[sw]

I shoot to 100 yds with my SZ 380 x-bow. I have, over the years found that extreme long range x-bow shooting requires extreme FOC. Red Hot arrows start opening up beyond the following max ranges for the following wt points with my SF
and SZ x-bows: 100g good accuracy to 50-60 yds, 125g to about 70, 145g is slightly more, and 175g to 100yds +. Very small fletching(mine have 2" Fusion) helps x-wind problems. A 4" vaned Thunderhead tipped arrow has more than twice the deflection of a 2" vaned Spitfire tipped arrow. X-bow arrows don't need much for stabilization. Note: I stated that I shoot, on the range to 100yds and actually beyond, but didn't state that this is my maximum hunting range. My personal range is just that - personal. If I were to kill an animal at longer than "accepted" ranges, I wouldn't mention the yardage nor would I have taken a risky shot. Just as in muzzleloading , homework extends ranges.
Back to a previous question: there are many great broadheads and the Slick Trick is just one of them. I'v found that, with my x-bows, that having the "v" at 12 o'clock helps keep the arrow flying closer to the field point than any other orientation. whatever, indexing broad heads is important to consistency.
