It doesn't matter what I'm watching or listening to, and it doesn't matter if I'm interested in the braudhead. I will always immediately click on the newest video
Broadheads have been getting more and more durable in the last few years. Every manufacturer, I know watches my videos and they are well aware of the testing and the influence it has in a community. I’m glad about that.
I'm sitting around sick as heck. Recovering from a vicious strain of c19 virus. Exhausted, headache, mucus, body aches. I'm Bing watching your videos, and ordering broadheads! Thanks for your work
@@StealthTRD yea. Customer of mine had tests in his car. Took it was positive. Then took another at urgent care. Had the worst headache of my life. Painful body aches. This is much worse than what I had 2 years ago. Absolutely whopping my ass
Yeah. A lot of people have commented on that. Usually wobble comes from the components, not being flush against each other. I try to remedy that by switching out the blades and tightening them down, then loosening than tightening and loosening many times. In this case, it took a smack into the concrete to get that done. Ha ha.
The Slick Trick Magnum is my go-to for medium to big game. It performs really well and punches great holes through meat and bone. Blood trails are usually easy to follow.
It was definitely the same head. A lot of times the wobble comes from the blades, not seating, completely flush and properly. So when I get a wobble, I dismantle the heads and put them back together and tighten them as tight as I can on the arrow, then repeat that process about 10 times. Usually that takes out the wobble. In this case it did not. But that smashed into the concrete did remove any Lack of flushness that there may have been. Ha ha.
I had to go back and look at your beginning description where you did the spin and the head wobbles. After driving it into the concrete, it actually wobbles less lol Slick Trick makes a good product. They always have That wobble kind ofsurprised me.
Yeah I saw that too. Often times the wobble is just caused by the components, not fitting snuggly together. Usually loosening them and then tightening them again and loosening and tightening and hallucinating and tightening can fix the problem. But I guess sometimes it just needs a big whack. Ha ha.
Yep. I always un assemble and then reassemble broadheads at wobble many times, tightening them down each time. That usually fixes the problem. But with this particular head, it did not. However, after it hit the concrete it spun great. Ha ha. It’s usually a tolerance issue.
Slick trick has always been my favorite! Until I put a magnum into a bucks shoulder at 9 yards pulling 71lbs @ 480+ grain arrows. A fluke that it didn’t go through but changed my perspective on my whole setup. Thanks for the review! Can you look into Vision Broadheads - Ironhide single bevels?! Thanks!
Thanks for the comment. All kinds of crazy things can happen with all the dynamic forces at play when an arrow hits a live animal. And everything is a trade off: larger cut means bigger hole and lesser penetration. I will look into those Vision heads. Thanks
Watching it rebound off of that concrete gave me nightmares of when I shot my cow elk with that same broadhead many years ago. The broadhead itself had a little bit of blood on it and that was it.
@@LuskArcheryAdventuresmy guess is after hitting the cinder block is that it seated the insert more square than it was pre shot. Also agree with others that for the accuracy score it needs to spin properly before shooting. One more thing, of the heads that are getting lower accuracy scores, are they hitting in the same direction? Like are most misses right or high right? Thx ,, love this channel!!!
Look like it wobbled when you spun it the first time, but after it hit the cement, it must’ve straightened out it…lol. That’s one stout little Broadhead, but I still would rather have a big giant expandable hole.
At the end of every year, I do a summary video of all the tests of that year. It’s the last video of each year. And in that I include an Excel spreadsheet of all the scores.C be doing that in December, and the spreadsheet will include the scores of all the heads I’ve tested for the previous three years.
Weird. I bought some and while testing the flight of these broadheads one of the ferrules bent in my sevr targets… so I didn’t end up using them this season.
There are so many other factors affecting penetration: draw length, total arrow weight, type of compound bow, shot distance, etc. But all those things being “normal”, there are some good choices: Exodus, Ozcut Elite 3, Slick Trick Standard, and Magnus Stinger to name a few. Check out my tests of those; I have discount codes for some of them.
@ thanks. It’s a pully bow roughly 475 grain total arrow weight. haven’t shot over a chrono yet. PSE laser 2 that my grandfather shot his first deer with. It flies better with a 200 grain field point so I’m going to use a crimson talon croc or cleaver from my trad setup depending on whichever I happen to grab. 400 spine 31.5” 8.3gpi .295 outer diameter arrow. Will let you know how it turns out.
I stopped buying slick trick because it seems 2 out of 3 always have wobble. Just like that one John spun on the arrow spinner in the intro. Love the design but hate the wobble.
Thanks for sharing that experience. I can usually take them apart and put them back together and take them apart and put them back together about 10 times, screwing them down super tight each time, until everything seats properly, then they usually spin very well. But sometimes that doesn’t work like in this case.
I test about 60 or more broadhead a year. So there’s no way I can do a meat test like that. In the past, I have shot through elk scapula and hog quarters and other things like that. But the goal of my testing is to provide data points under Consistent conditions with consistent mediums. If I bring an animal parts to the testing, they’re not consistent enough to provide comparative data. And I don’t think the tests are irrelevant at all. When a broadhead tests very well in my testing, it will perform very well in the field also. But again, more than anything, I’m just trying to provide information by which people can make a more informed choice about their broadhead selection. If one head can hold up to Steele and concrete and another cannot, all other things equal, wouldn’t you want to choose the one that can handle it?

Thank you! 🙏 😊
If i was a broadhead designer i would build it as tough as i could. Because i know one day John would get his hands on them. Great video John.
Horrible business model. “Let’s base out product off of a TH-camr” 🙄
@UnknownUser-fe5zu 👌
I'd call Xavier school for the gifted youth, and ask the front desk if they have any adamantium available 😂.

Dang maybe thats what i had a couple weeks ago. Lasted like 2 weeks and still spitting crap out

Bro, I’m so sorry you’re that sick. But thank you so much for binge watching the videos :)
Slick Tricks are excellent performers. A great design that stands the test of time.
Yep
It spun better after the cinder block than it did out of the pack 😂
Yeah I noticed that too

I still haven't seen a broadhead test as well as the Crimson Talon Croc heads, of which I bought after watching your videos. Love them
I love those heads-and the price is unbelievable
@@MollyDogg1234 I love the CROC 200. I just haven’t found a target that allows for easy removal, but what a head & what a price!!!
It has less spin wobble after it hit the concrete block than it did at the beginning of the video when it was new.
It could've been a different head? I know I won't buy Slick Trick after having problems with wobbly heads out of the pack.

@ 😁
We all really appreciate your reviews.
Thank you. I really appreciate the encouragement :)
I have been using the 100 grain standard and the viper tricks 125 gr for years carbon ferrules. I just use mineral oil on them, no problem rusting
Thanks for sharing that. I’ve never had an issue with rusting as well.
@LuskArcheryAdventures mineral oil does not smell so I use it on my broadheads bow bolts and screws to prevent rust
slick trick is a great head. But wow, did that perform!!!
Thanks for the comment.
Wobble on spin test
Sure looked like a bad wobble to me
It did wobble pretty good. But looks like it straightened out after the cinder block was lol

@@LuskArcheryAdventures I used the standard to take my first elk. Love their products

Good broadhead I like the carbon steel best
Yeah me too.
Watching it rebound off of that concrete gave me nightmares of when I shot my cow elk with that same broadhead many years ago. The broadhead itself had a little bit of blood on it and that was it.
That’s really interesting. Hitting heavy bone on elk can be challenging with any broadhead. It’s what gives birth to the heavy arrow movement.
There was a ton of wobble on that head as you were introducing it, not surprised with bad accuracy at all if that’s how all the heads spin
Yeah; I always do my best to remove the wobble by taking it apart and putting it back together multiple times. But that didn’t work with this one.
@@LuskArcheryAdventuresmy guess is after hitting the cinder block is that it seated the insert more square than it was pre shot. Also agree with others that for the accuracy score it needs to spin properly before shooting.

Is there a place we may be able to see all the cumulative scores listed out? Thank you.

And in that I include an Excel spreadsheet of all the scores.C be doing that in December, and the spreadsheet will include the scores of all the heads I’ve tested for the previous three years.

Well, that’s a disappointment. Do you think maybe it hit another head embedded in your target?
What would be your recommended broadhead for an old 50lbs compound going for whitetail?

Ozcut 150g hurricanes next!
Yeah I’d like to test those, if they’re much different than the 125s that I just tested.

Wobbled new
Yeah, it took that hard impact to get everything snug.
@ lol yup
You should really do a “meat target” sorta like what Paul Harrell (RIP) used to do. Eliminate the steel and concrete tests, they are pointless.
the steel and cinder block are my favorite part of these tests.
@@yourmomma2995hey watch that username
