I use them & have very good blood trails . They are killing machines, No matter if true broadside or front n or rear angled shots taken. I do my best to mentally put my arrow where the B'head hits the off-side shoulder. They just can not hold up to it. I also use n do the same with the Stingers. I prefer the 4 bladed, I can always pull the bleeder blade out if I seem to have no consistent accuracy out at my longer target shooting yardages.

 

My favorite fixed head , killed 7 with them last year including 2 large bucks - would say the 7 in total didn't make it 150 yards with most being 30 or less , slinging these out of revx's and the accuracy is insane - nothing not to love

 

I've never used them, but I would surely consider the Black Hornets if I was changing to something else. Free replacements if you damage them is worth something, too.

Nate of Average Jack Archery likes the smooth Black Hornet & the Stinger Buzzcut for his vertical bows.

I can't fathom testing & changing broadheads all the time. I shot 3-blade Muzzy broadheads for decades, & I will shoot Slick Trick Viper Tricks until I become a crossbow hunter some day.

If I switched to mechanicals with a crossbow some day, I would probably leans towards Grim Reaper & maybe Swat. I would want a 3 or 4 blade cut. I would do some research, pick one, & be done for life!

 

I thought I was done for life using the slick trick standards. Then I had one break on me when I hit the rib cage of a deer broadside. It was still a pass through but all I had was a little stub where the broadhead used to be. I suppose it was just an anomaly but I decided to try something else.

 

I had used slick tricks way back when they were made & owned in Ark. Later a Company up in New England them out. Have had couple things like your findings. Quit buying them & went to Blk. Hornets & Stringers as my fixed B'heads of choice.

 

Thanks for the comments.

I shot the Black Hornet Serr-razors one time now, and they seemed accurate like my field points.

I like that I can sharpen them also.

I am going to give them a try this hunting season.

 

Thanks for the comments. I am hearing all good things about the Black Hornet Serr-razor. They shot real good for me at 20 yards. I will try some longer practice shots soon. If that checks out, I am using them this hunting season.

I never got the mechanical broadheads bug. I like the fixed. I like that I can sharpen them and reuse them.

 

I am going to add more to my previous post here. There is a newer company called Exact Archery, and they are offering a 3-blade 100/125 grain Y-Series broadhead, & a 4-blade 100/125 grain X-Series broadhead for very affordable prices (no middle man). Lusk Archery has tested both & you may be able to take another 10% off.

The 4-blade X-Series did extremely well. Both were super durable, but the X-Series seemed more accurate, was sharper out of the package, penetrated more sheets of cardboard (64 vs 49), penetrated the gel more than the 3-blade Y-Series. 125 grain X-Series is the 100 grain X-Series with a 25 brass protective collar added.

Their website speaks for itself. Both Lusk Archery reviews can be found on their website, because they have nothing to hide. They are an excellent choice in my opinion.

X-Series 125 Grain

A heavier version of our signature broadhead. Same model with more power.

If someone is considering a Slick Trick, Magnus, NAP Exodus, or similar style broadhead, I would take a hard look at these Exact broadheads. Their pricing & quality may be hard to beat!

If I was shopping for something new, I would try these!
