I have a September archery elk hunt. I decided to switch from my standard Muzzies and try out the Slick Trick broadheads. Doesn't pay to go shopping for broadheads. I got them, but ended up walking out with a new bow also. But on the bright side they gave me a new hat to go along with the bow. :mrgreen: Hat was free of course :mrgreen: I better get that elk now!!!


 
Very nice! Which model Hoyt is That? You could always say you bought a $1,000 hat and they gave you a free bow. :lol:
 
I started using the Slick Tricks about 3-4 years ago, I didn't have to do any extra tuning to get them to fly right, they hit where my field points do. I shoot 2 different ones, one is called a Slick Trick 'Viper Trick' and the other Trick is a low profile 4 Blade.

I bought the slick trick magnums and the vipers. I really like the Vipers so I plan on using them.
 
That's funny,

Like you sending out some bullets and it leading to a new mountaineer

I always used slick trick standards, dont really have any complaints about them, however, this year im trying the grizz tricks. thought is they should fly closer to a field tip, as ive always slightly had to tune for the slick tricks. I also got a new bow last year, halon 6, I've always shot a hoyt turbohawk, and golt tip hunter x t arrows. killed many deer over the years. not sure why, but this year ive changed everything lol. the halon 6, carbon xpress maxima red arrows, grizz tricks, and I've been trying the gold tip arrow weights.. theory is like a dart to get weight forward of center for flatter arrow flights, and deeper penetration, and supposedly better broadhead flights. I've tried 20 and 40 grains, i really like to 40 grains, they clearly penetrate deeper than non weighted arrows.
 
Ive been working with a new bow sight, I need to shoot a broadhead in the next few days and make sure i am good to go, Sept 6th is CLOSE! Archery elk is a lot of fun if the year is right. I will know shortly
 
Never use Schwackers! Got sold some with initial crossbow set up and was very disappointed. Practice Tip billed as "shoots to same point of impact as field tips" missed entire target by 10" never to be seen again! Bye Bye $30. First shot at deer the mechanical opened on one side at launch sending bolt on a nice parabolic curve away from deer. The rubber band thingy broke. complained to Archery Pro guy about it and he gave me two Spitfire 100gr. Mechanicals that He used.
I took two nice does with those and never looked back.
 
I have used both 100 grain NAP Spitfires and Wasp Jak Hammers for the past 6 seasons with great results. I use the spits out of two different excalibur crossbows and the jak hammers from a scorpyd 150 vent. With the exception of one doe, every deer taken has went down in sight.
 
I realize this thread is getting old, but thought I'd weigh in anyway, lol.
In Idaho we can't use mechanicals of any kind. I've always used 3 blade Muzzy's with the chisel tip and never been disappointed. As long as my bow is tuned properly I don't have any struggles with getting them to fly with my field tips. If my broadheads hit differently than my field tips, then the first thing I do is "walk back" tune my bow. I've always been able to get my broadheads to fly with field tips this way. Makes it nice for carrying a field tipped arrow with an adder point on it for grouse.
 
For Idaho - I use Slick Trick Vipers or Standards in 100 grain. I prefer the Viper slighting over the Standards, but both have done the job when I did my part.
 
Have been shooting the spitfire maxx for several years. Every whitetail shot with them has went down within sight and awesome blood trails.
 
i've used spitfires, nap and satellite fixed 3 blade heads, meat seaker 3 blades, and a few others. i've taken a quite a few w/ the spitfire and meatseeker heads.

i currently shoot a 60# w/ 410gr arrows (a bit light)...i now use 100 gr 1 1/8" steelheads (great expandable head- stocked up on these) and i have also started to use tooth of the arrow 100 gr 1" cut 4 blade heads (machined out of one piece of steel). these are excellent short stout cut on contact fixed heads. the smaller cut diameter is a positive not a negative, especially for my setup. pass through = recovered deer.

one w/ a steelhead, another w/ a meatseaker.
