In yesterday's mails was a sample of the not yet released Razor Trick Broadheads made by Slick Trick. Gary is releasing two new styles of heads this year. The other is the Grizz Trick. He also sent along two of last years ferrules. One was off the line and the other, he had honed the tip to see if I would notice any improvement in penetration.
I assembled the Razor Trick with the small screw and the provided Allen wrench and I have to warn you. Follow the instructions. DO NOT over torque this small screw. Only snug it up. I over did it and stripped out the Allen head pocket in the head of the screw. Gary called me last night and I told him of the stripped head and he said the instructions are to be followed or that will happen.
the As part of a broadhead tip comparison that I am working on, last night I ran the new Slick Trick "Razor Trick" through the material comparator and will have the results of all the heads done soon. Gary said the heads should begin to ship by the end of the month. He was plagued with supply and machine problems and really regrets coming in so late.
Here are some pics I took of the Razor Trick. I will say that it is very sharp and performed well in the comparison to similar head designs such as the NAP Razorbak and the Wasp Sharpshooter. The major diff between the Razor Trick and the NAP Razorbak and the Wasp Sharpshooter is the bullet nose that is in front of the bleeder blades and the blade angle. but this head performed very well in my comparator and I think that is due to the sharpness of the head. I will say that it took far less energy to get the bleeder blades through the material on the Razor Trick because of the absence of the bullet nose.
It seems more and more head makers are making short heads and with today's super fast bows, there is not much of a loss the ability to penetrate because these bows have Kinetic energy to spare. My biggest concern with this new Razor Trick is the strength of the tip. On heavy bone impact, I fear it might curl or break but that is only a gut feeling on my part.
