Muzzy vs slick trick
i see its alot of slick trick fans here.. has anyone shot the 3 or 4 blade muzzy heads on these bows? If so, how do you like? I use to swear by the 3blade muzzy 100's on my compound. But im guessing they would need tuning to fly perfect? Would a 4 blade 100grain muzzy fly better?
orrrrrr would the slick tricks fly the best and work better for deer?
Im not as wasp fan.. i use to use them years ago but I had trouble bleeding deer with them. I know to each his own though;)
either way, whatever I get will be 100grain heads im sure

I have tested Muzzy 115 4 blades and 125 3 blades: with my compound they fly well and I have used them many times with succes in hunt, but with my Exomax with a speed of 320 fps, the trajectory is very different respect field points. So, Muzzy are fine broadheads but for speed less than 260fps.

I dont sharpen mine from the packet. Once used I use a points file, just grip the blade with vice grips (use a folded piece of paper to avoid scratching in the jaws) and file carefully. I dont stone or strop on leather but they still work fine, had a complete pass through from shoulder to exit back leg on deer with a used broad head sharpened this way, heaps of hemorage. Just my way of doing things, depends on how fussy you are. to get broad heads scapal sharp you may need to stone and strop but I am happy with the way mine work with file. fast easy no fuss with results.
If it feels good, DO IT.
I shoot three bladed 125gr Muzzys. They fly great out of my Exocet. And they are super accurate. Head shots on squirrel at 25 yards are possible!!!!

I first bought an exomax, and the slick tricks shot great. I found out it was illegal in my state(pa), because we were not allowed to use anything over 200 lb pull. So check your state's law. I then bought a phoenix. For some reason, it likes the muzzy 100 three blade. I can shoot asprins at 20 yds (benchreasted of course) with the muzzy and 2219 shafts. Well my daughter turned 12, and can hunt, so I gave her the phoenix, and I bought a exocet. I hope it shoots muzzy's. they have been my favorite head, and I have killed 29 whitetails with them. I have also found that even the slick trick out of my max or phoenix, did not fly like field points. Niether did the muzzy's. I would have to spin the inserts, true everything up, then everyting flew good. That is why I don't shoot carbons, once glued in, I don't think you can adjust anything to get them to fly better. I'm going to try 2216's out of the phoenix, and try to gain a few fps, but have killed a deer and a coyote with it. Tried to get a turkey, and came real close sealing the deal, but they saw something wrong. Truth of the matter, I have found nothing that flies exactly like field points, except field points. Muzzy and Slick Tricks are close, but for the price, you can get 6 muzzy's vs 3 slick tricks, and the results I've gotten, Muzzy's are my choice hands down.
