Slick Trick broadheads have set out to defy the myth ...
Slick Trick broadheads have set out to defy the myth that 4 blade fixed broadheads are less accurate than three blade fixed or 2 or 3 blade expandables. And so far they have accomplished it very well. Their designs are based on a shorter broadhead stature, giving them field point accuracy with most bows, but holding a 4 blade cutting edge that often exceeds the next size larger 3 blade design. With 4 blades
, you get more cutting surface, opening the target on entry and exit with massive hemorrhaging for great blood trails and quick, ethical kills. The matching 4 edge tip gives excellent bone breaking penetration for pass through shots, even with lower weight bows. It comes on four of the five models of Slick Trick. The RazorTrick has a cut-on-contact style tip based on an Indian arrowhead design, but still holds the penetrating characteristics of the 4 edge tip.

TalkHunting Pro Staffer Duane "Duane72" Taylor was born in western NY. As the son of a pastor, he spent several childhood years in Wisconsin, then West Virginia where he graduated high school before landing in Rhode Island. Moving out on his own, Duane spent a few years in Texas before enlisting in the US Air Force where he served for four years, stationed in Germany and South Carolina, and took part in Operation Desert Shield. After, he returned to RI where he served an additional year in the Air National Guard and married his fiancé Desiree. He now works full-time as the Facility Manager of his church, as well as volunteer serves on the board of Deacons. Duane cherishes his life with Desiree and is the proud father of two boys.
Growing up in a family that, even though they were not opposed to it, had minimal interest in hunting, Duane had few, if no, opportunities to experience the world of hunting for himself. He has always had an enjoyment of fishing and holds fond memories of fishing the ponds and lakes of Wisconsin with his dad and siblings. Always having a deep interest in hunting though, he took it upon himself to get started the year after settling home in Rhode Island. Armed with nothing more than an ancient recurve given to him by an old man in his church when he was in his teens, and decked out in his Air Force BDUs, he plunged into what would soon become a passion, hobby, and lifestyle.
It was several years before Duane would arrow his first deer with a used compound bow he had "upgraded" to. But those first years brought with them many valuable lessons, mentors, and friends and were the foundations of the successful years that followed. Hunting also the shotgun and muzzleloader seasons, spring & fall turkey, as well as some small game and coyote, Duane spends a great deal of time in the woods or preparing to be there. His other passions are most importantly God, his family, and his off-season fix of motorcycles.
