I shoot the ST's and have not had any problems with them. I don't have the hissing noise either (that I can tell). So far I'm 2 for 2 kill ratio.

it's a common complaint on here....but mine don't hiss any more than any other fixed blade

Slick tricks hiss outta my fast bow, but are relatively quiet outta my slow backup. They still put things down. The shuttles on the other hand are the quietest BH's I've ever shot. They put things down, too.

Its not a big deal. Mine hiss a little, but still kill animals very well!

Mine hiss too. The important point is that they are hitting where you want them to. I've heard the hiss described on this forum as, "The hiss of death." :wink: If they bother you, you can change heads.....IMO the hissing doesn't hinder in the field performance.

Mine hiss also...I shot my first deer with them this past week. At 30 yards, he didn't hear it coming - he didn't move until the arrow hit him.

I shot a buddy's 100 gr. Magnums this year.. They hissed.

I bought the Muzzy Mx4 heads instead of the ST's. No noise. Perfect flight.

I had some. They hissed.

First time Slick Tricker

I ordered my first Slick Tricks and shot them for the first time on Monday. I ordered the new 1 1/4" cutting diameter Grizztricks. Shooting them side-by-side with field points, yes they are a little noisy, but only a bit noisier than my G5 Strikers. It's the vented blades that create the added "turbulence" if you will, thus creating noise.

The Shuttle T-Locks, among other heads, are solid blades (no vents) which would explain them lacking the "Hiss of Death." Chances are, if they're flying fast enough to create this hiss, then they'll get to the target before the noise that they're making:wink:

I have been told that my Slick Trick Magnums have a hiss but my old, sound damaged, ears can not hear any hiss. I'm assuming that they do but it has not made any difference to the 13 Whitetail Deer and one Black Bear that have fallen to my Slick Tricks.

As has been said the Hiss of Death!

 

[Jwillman6]

I have the Slick Trick standards and if it is dead quiet I can hear them hiss and I' deaf, so they must hiss.

Never had a deer duck a trick in 5 years of using them. Great head the kill very effectively. I find I get more noise from fletching than BH's

 

[Martin_Cheetah]

Mine hiss as well, but i dont think it really matters. I dont have much experience with long shots, but i shot a deer at 22 yards last year and it didnt flinch. I guess it would only matter if you were taking really long 40-60 yard shots. I wouldnt worry about it

 

[altman]

Never heard mine hiss; I doubt the deer will either...:darkbeer:

 

[vichris]

Mine have a mild hiss too. It was the last sound these two heard. They thought it was a breeze. :tongue:

 

[ghost1]

My gun makes a bang when I shoot and they never hear it either
Dont worry they will never hear your arrow coming:wink:
