Broad heads

[Bcwn]

I'm looking at lots of broad heads, and have my eye on slick tricks. I also own rage kore. However I have very limited practical experiance with crossbow broad heads, well hell lets call it what it is, I have zero practical experience with crossbow broad heads. I've bow hunted since the young age of 13, just picked up a cross bow and I must say its a whole different beast.

There are so many good fixed heads to choose from, and yes, all of the Slick Tricks get good results. You'll get several answers here on that topic!

Most stay around 1" cut with fixed heads , Slicks fly great and are very accurate .

Check out the carbon express quad pro 100 grain 1" fixed. These are sharp, accurate and trust me, they will go through deer. No need to spend a fortune on highly advertised brands, these work and cost less than $15 for 3. You can buy online from Walmart and pick up at a local store, free shipping.

when it comes to broad heads you will get as many answers as there are broad heads. you asked about slick tricks. I shoot them and won't shoot any other for hunting deer, I shoot the grizzly 2, 1 1/4 " cut out of my 355 and my 380 . they work good . very accurate and deadly. any one you choose will work for a cross bow . they have ones for the cross bow but they all will work .

W.M. don't skimp when it comes to broad heads they do all the work.

They ALL work when put where they belong, however some work better than others on different game, POI/anatomy, angles and impact speeds.
Some like big cut's with lot's of damage in case they hit paunch etc, Some like small cuts to ensure they penetrate fully, and some place the most emphasis on how well they group for long range shots.
Just depends on what your priority is and what you want to put your emphasis upon.

I personally like small mechanicals because they fly the closest to field points and assure full penetration in the slowest bows. The tradeoff is they usually goa bit further before they die than with the large cut 2 blades. I like to use the same BH for all my bows includuing kids etc so that eliminates the big 2 blade mechs when you are shooting 40# (250fps)compounds and 150# Hortons(244fps)

I've found the steelhead 100 to be one of the best mechs ever created which works equally well in ALL bows.

I'm sold on RamCats (125gr) after I put one through a bison at 30 yds with my Micro. Blood trail was ridiculous - and you generally don't get much if any blood on the ground due to their hide. It went down in about 20 to 30 seconds.. Double lunged.

These are the best flying fixed I have shot out of Montecs, Slick Tricks, Muzzy, Thunderheads, ABC Sonics, and Magnus Stinger 2 blades. It was really close between these and any Slicks but IMO these fly just a hair better.

Try slick tricks, what model bow do you shoot?
