Slick tricks fly good. How well your bow is tuned will affect fixed blades a lot more.

I like drt dirt nap heads. And stinger buzz cuts if I'm using fixed. I usually have 3 mech heads and 3 fixed when I go out in the field. And a field point or 2 in my pocket.

I've been shooting Muzzy's for years, and they always perform. But from what I've read, Slick Tricks are supposed to be really good as well. I plan to give them a try this deer season?! In reality, if you stick with a reputable company, I think you'll be fine! just my $2cents

The best thing is to have a well tuned bow. The the rest is easy.


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

Amen! It is really too bad that the majority of people out there have no idea what a properly tuned bow shoots like.

Bow is freshly paper tuned and grouping awesome with field tips so not worried about the tuning

Then it becomes a personal choice. The G5 is a great flying, tough as hell head. But the compactness that makes it fly well also is a small cutting diameter which sometimes affects how good of a blood trail you will get. I suggest trying more than one brand.

Well if your fixed heads don't fly to same point of impact as your field tips its probably not the heads. Broadhead or walkback tuning will likely be needed for perfect flight unless you got real lucky with the paper tune. Just letting you know so you don't scrap some perfectly good heads thinking its their fault. YouTube has some good videos that can explain the different tuning methods.

Anything single beveled, anything else is essentially like putting reversed fletchings on the front of your arrow...just make sure the bevel coincides with your fletchings (right or left)


Why is it that every time I push #1 for english, I cannot understand the person on the other end???

With my bow freshly tuned, I shot Magnus Stingers (my personal favorite BH), slick tricks, and even Steel Force Premiums practically all to the same POI as field points. The difference between stingers and field points was undetectable out to 80 yards. Probably opening a can of worms and ranting my personal bias, but with accuracy differences being a non-issue, and yet penetration and reliability issues being present with mechanicals, I just can't see why anyone consistently favors mechanicals over fixed blades...
