I like having the newest and greatest products, so last year, after seriously considering Slick Trick Mags, and using Strikers instead, this year, I opted to order the new Grizztricks....boy am I glad I did.
First impressions...
Very, very razor sharp blades, as sharp as anything from G5. Easily shaved arm hair right out of the package, and with a little more pressure, still shaving sharp after about 20 shots into my Yellowjacket broadhead target.
Big cutting diameter for a fixed blade. Cut a full 1 1/4" hole in my target so I am very eager to see the blood trails they produce.
They fly great. Spot on with my field points, G5 Strikers, Muzzys, but, in all fairness, I have spent countless hours broadhead tuning my 300+ fps Tribute over the previous years and this summer.
The one and only possible negative I've found, is that there is a very subtle increase in noise as compared to my Strikers, which is to be expected as the cutting diameter is increased by an 1/8th of an inch, as well as the addition of a 4th blade. HOWEVER, a little noise should be expected when the dang thing's being propelled through the air at over 300 fps!
There has been some concern expressed with regard to how well they penetrate. So far (just shooting through foam) they penetrate the entire way through my yellowjacket target, just as my Strikers do. It's not a true penetration test, and I haven't shot them side-by-side, but I don't foresee penetration being an issue anymore than any other fixed blade broadhead on the market. I just foresee more blood being spilled more quickly, resulting in a shorter tracking job, and more venison being cooked on the grill........:wink: Good luck fellas and post pictures of those Grizztricked deer when you get 'em!:darkbeer:
