Use the 100 gr. Magnum. POI is same as field point. Short recovery.

Been using the standard 100gr Slicks since damn near when they were first introduced. I've used them with Excal's, TenPoints, BowTec, Horton and Barnett. The shot/shoot to within 1/2" of same point of impact as 100gr field tips, (IF the arrows have 100gr brass inserts),with every bow except the P.O.S. Barnett Commando! But nothing shoots good from a Barnett! :mrgreen:

The doe that I killed a week age was the 4th deer that has fallen to that exact same goldtip lazer ll and 100gr. slick trick. It may be time to retire that combo and start with a "fresh" one. Sooooo, yea, I like em :D .

I tried the 175 g CB Tricks on some Firebolts last year. I haven't had the opportunity to shoot them at anything except my target, but they do seem to have the same POI as the the field points that come with them do.

Same point of impact out to 40 yards,out of my Nox,Have not tested them any farther than that,but im sure they would do the job at 50 if the conditions were Perfect.

I shoot the 175 gr slick tricks out of a Equinox and they hit 2 in low at 30 yards but I sight in with the B.H. in fall and only practice with hunting heads until spring then I will adjust for the field tip .
The 175 gr group great and preformed very well on two deer last year I am sticking with the slick tricks this season.

My 125 gr magnums are shooting the same as the field points. You won't be disappointed. Hopefully the blood trail is as good as they shoot.

I have taken three deer with the Slick Trick 125 Magnums. They do in fact hit to the same point of impact for me, (Exocet 225+Firebolts) as the filed points. All three have fallen withing sight, so trailing has been a moot point.

This is my third year with the xbow, so I am using the same broad heads.

I don't think I'd use anything else... anything that I have connected, I've collected. I kind of like they are smaller (I use the orig. 1" - 100 grain), the blast holes right through shoulder blades or bone if need be. I don't think they leave the blood trails that some of my buddies are getting with Rage and FOC, etc., but like someone said up above... quick recoveries.

I liked them so much, I went ahead and bought enough that I thought would be 20 years of shooting for me! Hopefully that tells you what I think of them. I wish I knew of a way to sharpen the blades back to razor edge, so I don't have to keep using up my blade refill packs. I'd be all ears if someone had a good sharpening tool...
