ORIGINAL: Handles

I used to shoot the rage, and had two dissapointing results at 27 and 30 yards broadside. Neither had a pass through and the entry hole was as small as a closed head, ie I don't believe they opened. Switched to slick tricks and all worries about a head not performing have gone out the window.
Was it the 2 or 3 blade?

Youwill be fine with 54lbs. I recommend using the 2 blade. Good luck!

I shoot Slick Tricksmyself but I have heard nothing but good from the Rage 2-blades. I would pass on the 3-blades though.

I shot the two blades. Of the three deer that I shot with them, only one was a pass through (doe, 17 yards quartering away) and even on that hit, the entry wound was less thanan inch across. After shooting several types/brands of expandibles over the last 10 years, I've found that my slick tricks will shoot just as well and I only have to worry about my shot, not if the heads will work the way they should.

I'm probably going to be going afield this fall with a few Rage 2 blades as well as a couple of Slick Tricks in my quiver. I need a fixed head to shoot through the mesh of the ASAT ground blind. And I think the Slick Trick may be a little better penetrator for larger game like elk and bison. But those Rage 2 blades are the real deal!

Also, these graphic photos of what the hole through the ribs looks like after the animal is skinned and hung in your garage . . . . . not sure how representative this is of how well the broadhead kills. What matters here is the size of the hole in the first ten seconds after the arrow hits. After the animal is dead, the flesh starts to shrink up around the wound channel and makes it look larger. I'm more concerned with how quickly the broadhead puts the animal on the ground.

iknow we got in a pissing match on apples to apples ( katera/ general) but we will agree on one thing the SLICK TRICK is the best head on the market!!! I seen several deer shot with them yes great holes bbuutt very weak head most had broken beyond use. we also test some and they won't open on cardboard. ther was also a recall on some of the rages in 2007. slicktrick.net is the website

arrowum, you may be lookin for a pissin contest but you didn't find it over there and you won't find it here.[8D] The reputation of the Slick Trick stands on it's own, and the ferrules are tougher than Titanium. Blades made in Soligen Germany (same plant the Striker blades are made at)

Go fish some where else

Dan - has Slicktrick always used the Solingen blades? There is a thread over on the AT forum that shows a Slicktrick head that appears to have soft blades. The blades are really torn up from allegedly justgoing partway througha deer. Could this be an older generation head?
