The Slick Trick Standard went head-to-head with a variety of 100 grain, premium broadheads in the annual 2022 HuntStand Broadhead Field Test, conquering the test and earning the prestigious Editor’s Choice Award for the third time.
All broadheads were tested for accuracy, penetration, weight consistency and value to help guide fellow bowhunters to the ultimate, high performing broadhead. With 3 awards on the line (Best Value, Editor’s Choice, and Silver), competition was tight — and yielded the most competitive results in the history of testing. But after a series of thorough tests, the winner was clear. The Slick Trick Standard was chosen as the standout broadhead and received the 2022 Editor’s Choice Award, also described as “the head we’d pick from the deadly group.”
“How about Slick Trick; can this company build stellar broadheads, or what?” Executive Editor Mark Melotik proclaimed. “This is our 7th year testing the leading broadheads on the market, and the 3rd time Slick Trick commanded the top honors; including two in a row after last year’s win by the mechanical Slick Trick Assailant,” Melotik continued.
To test for accuracy, HuntStand used an unbiased shooting machine to deploy three different heads from 40 yards using the same arrow, and then measured the resulting three-shot groups. The 100 grain Slick Trick Standard impressed, and posted a 40 yard, 3 shot group of 1 15/16th inches — and the best out of all the fixed blade broadheads tested.
HuntStand further evaluated the heads using a clear ballistics gel for a true “apples to apples” comparison in their penetration test. The 4-blade design of the Slick Trick Standard tied for first — plunging 9 and ¼ inches into the gel medium after passing through carpet and 1/8th inch plywood, which was used to simulate wild game’s skin, hair, and bones. When it came to testing for angled penetration, the Slick Trick Standard plunged 20 inches through angled plywood and emerged on other end with barely a scratch and “looking brand new,” the testers stated.
Lastly, weight was measured using a digital scale to check for broadhead weight consistency in order to evaluate overall design and manufacturing quality. Not only was the quality of the Slick Trick Standard unbeatable, but the pricing was unmatchable. The 4-pack features an MSRP of just $44.99 and was the stand-out when it came to value with the lowest per head price out of all the broadheads tested.
Accuracy, durability, deep penetration and value is what you can expect from the Slick Trick Standard; appropriately named HuntStand’s 2022 Editor’s Choice. Visit SlickTrickBroadheads.Com for more information on this test, and a Slick Trick Retail Partner to pick up a pack today.
