checkin out some new broadheads

A.Gun

So I tried expandables this past season, and I can't lie, they didn't let me down. I missed twice but also killed two deer. On my second deer I even made a poor shot and still recovered him about 100 yards away. Here's the dilemna, I get into these hunting shows on tv and they swear up and down on the new slick tricks. Anyone used them? I am going with those or rage expandables this year...anyone got reviews on either of them for 100g. ?

Slick tricks are the best fixed blade i've ever shot. I shot both slick trick and rage last year. The rage leave an unbeleivable hole, but will open up while in or taking them out of your quiver sometimes. I have also heard of them opening in flight if they are not secure in place. My money goes towards the slick tricks over any other.

Tricks are nice heads. I have also shot the Rage, good results there too. This year I am shooting a G5 Striker. We shall see how that does. I still do not know why I keep switching. The old 3 blade Muzzy killed deer just as dead as anything else.

I agree I used them for years but the slicktricks get more pass-thrus for me fly superb... the rage I diddent like. heard the g-5's are excellent too along with shuttle t locs.. all good heads.

Used the Rage great hole but the set screw takes the brunt of the force and you can't get it out to replace the blades..Having said that I read on AT that they are using a pin now and not a set screw. I have 2 packs of Slick Tricks I'll be trying this year. Haven't shot them yet so I can't give ya my input on those.

So I went to a sproting goods store and they had deals on archery products...safe to say I made my decision after shooting the practice head this afternoon at 35 yards, DEAD ON! (Don't even use a pin after 30 lol) Here's what I got...http://www.ragebroadheads.com/rage3blade.html


-Would they of had slick tricks at all i would've been stumped on what to do. But considering these were marked to 25 bucks, I took em'. Now if only september could get here faster....

Since you went with the Rage I have a bit of advice for you. Remove the foam block from your quiver head and put in something 1/4" thick just so the tips are held in place or you will be wanting to throw the Rage heads away. Some quivers (like the Alpine Bearpaw) have a 2nd foam block that works great with these heads.

25 bucks is a steal! They usually run closer to 40

My quiver doesn't use foam, but rather just holds the arrow in place, the arrow heads never enter anything just get covered. but thanks dcso, I appreciate it man.
