I used them on deer, turkeys and some African animals. They worked great. That was 10 years ago. They’re good BHs.

 

My new favorite broadhead. The past seven years I shot Rage Hypodermics, but last October 2021 I went on a Greenland muskox hunt that did not allow the use of mechanical broadheads. They performed great, so great that I now use them for all my hunting.

 

Ive been using them for along time. Great broadhead

 

I killed probably 35 deer with them, and then for a unknown reason I went on this road of trying different heads, but I will be going back to them, I remember one time on this board the owner of slick trick posted to keep them good and sharp to keep them covered in a light oil, but I can’t remember what oil!

 

I spray a little fogging oil on them

 

This is my first year shooting the slick trick magnums, they shoot like my field points and are super sharp. I cut my finger pretty bad while trying to take one off an arrow. I rub some gun oil on mine after they had gotten wet while hunting and no rust so far.

 

I am switching back to them. Best blood trails I have ever had. Even better than some mechanicals heads.

There used to be no other head as far as I was concerned. Then they changed hands , and the quality went to pot. Out of a 4 pack you might get 2 good ones after trying every conceivable option with blades and ferrules.

When they went to the 4 packs is when it happened. Went from zero headaches with them to nothing but frustration.

 

I wish they still came in a ten pack,like they use to be available in !

 

Love me some Slick Tricks! They do a heck of a job when placed well.

 

I have a bunch of the original ones, I just resharpen them back to scary sharp and have one of the best heads ever made. Both standard and mags, I love them. I haven't tried any of the newer ones, but I hear there's some tolerance issues.

 

Been using Slick Trick Mags for years.
I have experimented with some different mechanicals, however, I’ll always have a quiver full of the Magnums.

 

what is your choice of vanes for these magnums, 3 or 4 fletched and brand, size etc !

 

standard blazers

 

They have flown great for me with blazers both straight and helical, aae max stealth straight and helical and vanetec vmax 3.0 straight and helical, just to name a few.

 

Any advice on 3 or 4 fletched

 

I've only ever shot 3 fletch.

 

They are one of the best broadhead designs ever. I used the standard and mags for years.
The only negatives are the mags are a little noisy in flight (not a big deal) and the quality of steel they use in the blades is not the best.
After going through an animal they were as dull as a butter knife and the blade edge was usually chattered and wavy.
If they went to better quality blades I’d go back to them.
I had some non existent blood trails with them at times and my guess is I hit a rib going in and they were dull all the way through.

Wow I shot a small doe on Friday took a rib going in and out and buried deep in the frozen ground blades are almost sharp enough to use again.
no chatter or damage
125gr magnum stainless steel

 

My favorite broadheads. Crazy bloodtrails. Fly just like my field tips. I've had some from years ago but haven't had to buy any recently. Are they still having quality issues?

 

I have had some issues with the SS Viper tricks just not being to spec on the blades and ferrule. They won't screw flush, they are tight, but the blades are a little long and it leaves a little gap. They still work alright and spin okay surprisingly. I don't think you would have a problem with the regulars, I just doubt because of the way the standards are made they would make that mistake. I have some of the old models I have had for years and never lost one or damaged it so bad I had to throw it away, so still using them. I emailed them one time and had them send me a bunch of washers and blades so good to go....

They actually sent me some replacements for the 125 grain Vipers with the little defect, I sent them pictures. But they sent me 100 grain back, which still exhibited the problem a little but not as bad. I am using all the heads. The biggest issue with the Vipers is the tip, while designed for maximum penetration, is a little thin and can bend on a hard impact, but can usually be straightened.

I think they are still using the German Lutz blades, which I think are okay , but I always thought they lost their real keen edge easy.

When machinery is changed and or crews, and QC does not really watch close ,stuff can get out the door.

 

They still perform well on angled shots!!! And if you see the video from Lusk archery they punch a huge hole in the steel!!!

 

I like the old 3 packs, they don't take up much space at all to keep a spare new pack handy in bow case or door pocket etc ,
they're also really easy to assemble in low light etc if you or someone hunting with you have the need to screw on a new broadhead quickly
I had a old one I carried in my quiver for practice a couple years that was stuck in the insert.
I shot that thing dozens of times for practice shots in the field into dirt and ditch banks, surprisingly still spun pretty good thru all it had been thru.

 

I think the new blades are just as sharp as the older ones they are still German lutz blades, they have a sharpness rating of 175 on lusk”s review which is way better than most fixed blades that he has tested on his sharpness machine!

 

Not the Magnums but I did shoot a nice buck this year using the Grizz Trick 2. Huge holes and the buck literally died on his feet and went maybe 40 yards? I get great flight out of them and out of the package sharpness is amazing. I plan on using them next year for sure.

 

I heard a rumor they are coming out with a new head but haven’t seen it yet maybe at ata show ?

 

I got a pack of 150g Xbow heads, they didn’t even put the ferrules in the package lol. Long story short I switched to Iron Wills

 

Still love them. Shoot the mags and standards. Found a one inch diameter chunk of meat with hair from the exit wound on a buck shot this year. They just plain work and punch big holes. Still have some mags from 10 years ago, will have to have a look and compare them to some of the newer batches I have bought this year. So far haven't noticed any difference in flight, always been kind of a set it and forget it part of my set up.
