simply put, this is the truth and really the final word of it...if you take care of your bow and make sure it's shooting right so it'll go where you put it, and then you take good shots and make them...the cheapest broadhead from Wal-Mart will be as effective as the rest...truthfully, the engineering of better performing broadheads is to mitigate the inevitable less than desirable shots and situations that occur in hunting, it's the marketing of them that make you think it's really ok to broaden the perspective of what you can/can't or should/shouldn't shoot, which is why people become unhappy with broadheads because they make bad shots and expect explosion and mass destruction on any impact b/c they bought the "latest and greatest" broadhead...

The crap I used to hear from people in the store (in Baton Rouge nonetheless, imagine the clientele) in October about what they shot and shot at and their reasons why they didn't get the deer, it blows your mind. The greatest is the story about how the hit the deer perfect, double-lung pass through, and it ran off and hardly no blood trail and they followed it for miles and never found it...so of course their perception of a perfect shot then gets blamed on their equipment not performing cause they just know how perfect their shot was or what shoulda happened...you just shake your head and walk away

SlickTrick GrizzTrick 100's. Absolutely frighteningly sharp! Solid steel (not flimsy aluminum like Muzzy's) with replaceable blades. They smash through shoulders and are as good as new when you put new blades on them. They fly like field tips to boot.

I have done the whole trying a new broadhead each year, and have never been as impressed as I am with the SlickTrick's. Rages were good but if you hit bone, they are useless. You alsocan't reuse them, no matter what they say (which sucks for a broadhead that costs an arm and a leg). Muzzy's are the best for the money, but lose their tune so easily it drove me nuts, and they are not very strong. Used the G5 Montecs one season. Great out of the box, but not very durable. Grim Reaper's and good ole Spitfires were quite good, but again, reusing them is a challenge.

I guarantee I won't be trying anything else anytime soon. I LOVE the Slicktricks. Make sure you get the GrizzTricks though. 1 1/4" cutting diameter vs the 1 1/8" of the regular ones.

Plus they just look mean:

Rage 2 blade of course! I resharpen my blades all the time. Never had a problem.

+1 Been bow hunting since the 60s and never seen anything do the damage the rage does....first head I can truly say shoots just like a field point.

I try and help people as much as I can, and changing to the rage head has aided in the recovery of more poorly shot deer than anything I can think of. I track alot of deer for people that just cant shoot and its the medecine I recomend.

I'm shooting the 2 blade Rage this year... But only because i got a free 3 pack of 100gr heads. I plan to keep my Muzzy's in the quiver on standby though.

I'm shooting the SlickTrick GrizzTricks this year, but not too impressed. They are extremely sharp but at four yards- it should go straight through a deer. The tip was just barely poking out his other side.

I've shot them all. Went off the wall a bought strikers this year. Shot a doe at 17 yards Sat. morning and hit her a little up front in the shoulder, zipped straight through both shoulders and went half way in the ground. Watch her face plant 30 yards from my tree. First time i've shot these and I was impressed. I grew up shooting muzzy's and i've shot rage, hell razors, and blood runners. They'll get the job done if you hit them in the right spot.

I like to shoot mechanicals because I can practice every day then screw on broadheads and go hunt. I will say if you get the spintight fletchings and are shooting fixed blades, make sure you check your sights before you go hunt. I was shooting regular blazer vanes and my Phathead Sob's were hitting with my field tips. I changed to the spin tight blazer vanes two days before the season and now those same heads are hitting 9 inches to the right at 30 yards. Thank God for the femoral artery or I would have been tracking a gut shot deer for a couple days. I'm going back to Grim Reapers so I don't have that problem any more.

been shooting muzzy since I started...if it works why change it....plus they are under $20 a pack compared to one an done rage at $40 a pack....set your sights an hit em where it matters.

This is my 34th bow season to hunt and I have to agree with you on this. I shoot the 2 blade 100gr.

Im shooting 3 blade Rage, but thinking hard about going back to 100gr Thunderhead. Shot a doe last year at 10yds and tracked her 100 yds and then crossed creek and blood stopped never to be found again. Yesterday morning I shot a huge hog at 25yds just 10 minute after day light, waited until 8:15 before I started to track found my arrow covered in bright red blood and blood trailed her about 250-300 yds on my hands and knees in a thicket but never found her.
