![]() I can't comment on much beyond that, because I don't switch things once I find something I like. I like how the original Muzzy 3-blades locked together inside an aluminum ferrule, but I like how Slick Trick 4-blades lock into a steel ferrule even more. I didn't want to mess with tiny screws on broadheads. Ramcat were also extremely popular at the time, but I chose ST for the same reason. I went the Slick Trick direction when I left standard Muzzy 3-blades, because I don't like messing with small screws to secure the blades. I've heard good things about the Muzzy Trocar. If I wasn't content with Slick Trick, I would try the Exodus next. If you remove the Standard blades & lay them out flat, the total cut is the same as the 2" mechanical broadhead. Those 1" blades will have the same total cut as the Slick Trick RaptorTrick X mechanical with 2" blades. If you are going from a mechanical back to a fixed blade, a Slick Standard looks small. I'm not your guy to share first hand experience with all them, but I have heard good things about most of them. If I like what I see when I test it, I am done shopping. I am going to research what's out there, & pick my first choice. Personally, I am not the type of person who is going to spend money on three different brands of broadheads. Once I decide what grain ferrule & blades I want to use, I can always buy a 4-pack of replacement blades. Standards are 1" blades, & the original Magnum are 1 1/8". The ferrules & blades are all interchangeable. That's because the ferrules of the Standards & Magnums are the same. I could buy a package of 100 grain ST Standards & 125 grain Magnums, & that would give me 4 different combination to try. I've said this before in another post, but I like it enough to say it again. He also still shoots a compound bow primarily, but he has a crossbow for backup (backup to our aging bodies & not our archery equipment). My best friend is the same age as me, & he shot Thunderheads for decades before he switched to ST Standards. He was doing the original ST Magnum, but he decided to shoot the same as his wife (lower poundage bow) to keep things simple. My best friend & his wife shoot the Standards. I have always heard the Viper Tricks & Standards fly great. If I was shooting my crossbow only, I feel the ST Standards would have a tougher ferrule/point than the Viper Tricks. I find the blades easy to remove & sharpen, too. I like the design (almost like a cut on contact hybrid with replaceable blades) & how they fly. I picked the Viper Trick, because I was reducing my compound bow poundage at the time. I still shoot my compound bow primarily, & I have been using the Slick Trick Viper Trick for both. Both have taken down a lot of deer over the years. If I had tried the 100 grain NAP Thunderheads, I probably would have shot those for 25 years.
