Slick Trick and G5 Striker Question
Alright, so my broadheads, mentioned in title are flying excellent. Can not complain. I do have an issue with both brands though. I am shooting Easton Axis 500's and the ends are square where the base of the broadhead sits. My issue though is that after a couple shots (sometimes 1 shot) the blades are buzzing because they are not tight in the ferrule. I am not using any kind of ring between the broadhead and shaft. I really do not see the point. The rings that come with the Slick Tricks are for alignment only. Correct? Or do they have to have a ring between the shaft and broadhead? Same scenario with the G5 Striker. Do you have to use these rings(washers) to keep the blades from getting loose in the ferrules? Help please.
Thanks, LT

G5's Strikers,yes you have to use the washer!! It's the only thing holding them in place!!
No exp on Slick tricks but would make the same assumption.

I always use the ring on my Slicks, not sure why you wouldn't. Put it back on and you should be ok, or tighten them a little more so they don't come loose after 1 shot.

Put a little wax on the threads of the BH and they won't come loose after being shot a few times. I lost a couple of BH's while they were in my quiver because they just came loose and fell out. Since I have started putting a little wax on them they stay nice and tight.

Yeah man, if you hit probably even a rib without that washer behind the striker your possibly going to loose blades and have them rip right through the end of your arrow. Those washers are designed to prevent the blades from coming loose or coming out of the head. The strikers come with two per head and I use both.
