Archery Sniper was right!

Archery Sniper has spoken here several times on the accolades of slick trick broad heads. Last night I found out why. 7pm a good doe comes to the tree I'm in and I let the arrow fly. Double lunged her. She went all of 35 yards and did the death dance right in front of me that all of us long to see. Blades were intact. Could hear the arrow as it cracked through the rib cage. Upon retrieval I discovered that the entrance and exit holes left a perfect X hole. She wasn't going anywhere except to my freezer. I am sold on slick tricks. Thanks Snipe!

No problem and congrats on a great archery deer.

Don kennel up wink

I have shot the slick tricks through a lot of stuff and they always hold up. The only thing that has failed in any of the tests I have done was the arrow itself and that was shooting a concrete block at 10 yards. 2c

The only thing I've had fail on me with the slick tricks is I've had 2 of the blades on my designated practice heads break. Both times it was the blade with the open slot (the one you put in the tip first when assembling). But I believe they only broke because they have been shot hundreds of times into a target and the ground a few times blush

Quick rookie question - when you shoot broadheads into targets, do you pull them back out from the "front", or pull them through (basically pulled the fletch through the target, or do you unscrew the broadhead, then pull out, then put broadhead back on? I have a foam layered target and it didn't seem like I could get my American (came with bow) or my Thunderheads back through "backwards" without really putting pressure on them, so i unscrewed them and pulled arrow out. Thanks for advice!

I always just pulled them straight out unless the broadhead went all the way through then I'd screw them off. Its a lot easier on your target to take them off. Broadheads will chew up a target pretty fast in my experience either way.

1eye, no damage picture. Thought of it but wasn't sure if it was o.k. on the forum. I got her in the tree late that night as my shot was at 7pm. Only pics I have are real bad cell phone (flip phone) pictures. Not much for light. I did however take pictures the next day of a cooler full of ground up meat smile. Last year I used NAP blood runners, mechanical 2 blade. Was not happy with the noise they made and the deer I shot had a large slit in it. Obvious to me that a fixed blade that put's a hole the approximate size of a 20 gauge slug in a deer was a much better choice. Heading to Saskatchewan to chase snow devils the 28th for 10 days then it's back in the climber for mid October archery. Best darn time of the year!

If the broadhead is still in the target I pull them straight back through the front side, if the broadhead is sticking out of the target on the backside I pull out through the back.

Gotta be careful for your left hand if you have it on the target when pulling straight back out so the broadhead don't cut it. When pulling out the back gotta be careful of the hand on the arrow so it don't slip down right into the broadhead.

I'm trying some Slick Standards this season, have been a lifetime Muzzy fan up to this point. Also like what I'm seeing and hearing about the Exodus head.

Good to know about the blood runners. I was curious about those. I've been wanting to try different BHs.. Trying the Tru Fire T1s right now after reading good reviews and hearing nothing but good about them from guys who shoot them. However, haven't put one through a deer yet. Next, I want to try Slick Tricks and then the Exodus. My friend shot a doe last week with an Exodus and though the hole was just like any other, the blood was pretty good. Wicked sharp blades. But if slick tricks really do punch slug holes, I am really interested!

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      Problems with Yetti

      By Wanderer · Posted

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
