trophy ridge ultimate steel...yea or nay? -

kmrcstintn · 08-28-2010, 12:19 AM

no matter which launcher I use (G5 Quest XPB 32; Reflex Growler; Excalibur Ibex xbow; Parker Terminator xbow) I have to adjust POA/POI for Muzzy 3-blade 100gr broadheads from field point practice settings...

I want a 'fieldpoint accurate' fixed head that is built tough like Muzzys; the closes I've seen that peaks my interest is Trophy Ridge Rocket Ultimate Steel 100gr fixed blade broadheads...

anyone have experience with these? thanks

disregard; talked with an Excalibur tech at Kinsey's Outdoors in Mount Joy, PA this weekend and several company personnel (including the person I spoke with) have successfully harvested game animals with the Slick Trick Standard 4 blade 100gr broadheads and they were fieldpoint accurate (even with Excalibur recommending 150gr fixed blade broadheads (when they changed from the heavier Gold Tip bolts to lighter Easton bolts they changed recommendations from 100gr fixed heads to 150gr heads to improve accuracy)

Slick Tricks this year!!!

Sounds like a tunning issue not the broad head.

with the amount of accessories that excalibur sells as part of a package or separately I think that changing manufacturers of carbon bolts from Gold Tip to Easton cannot be an easy task; whether or not it was due to tuning or bad shafts, the eastons weigh less than the Gold Tips and they recommend a heavier (150gr) fixed broadhead to make up the difference; I was able to speak with a factory tech and he told me the 100gr Standard Slick Tricks do match fieldpoint flight characteristics for several employees, including himself, that wanted to use 100gr fixed blade broadheads with the lighter Easton shafts
