[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 506183, member: 10832"] Friend, you may want to re-read my post and not skim over it this time. I specifically said they are the best I have tried. Where did you get this "in the world" stuff? Maybe you misread the part when I was comparing them to mechanicals, saying that IMO Tricks provide the best of both worlds ( a common saying in my part of the country) in that they cut a lot of extra tissue because of the extra 4th blade compared to most fixed heads that have only 3 blades. But they still fly very well (which is a typical advantage of mechanicals) Also, read the end of my post. I listed Magnus as well as one of my favorites. What am I missing here? I live in Idaho so I don't hunt whitetails. Last years bull was number 14 for me with a bow, a nice 7x7. Mule deer? I have lost count. No Moose. I also understand advertising for what it is, a biased attempt to influence customers to buy their product, so I don't rely on it when choosing what to purchase, if that was your insinuation. This is one of the reasons I am on a chat forum like this, because I trust actual user input to put me on the right track if I don't have personal experience with a product. I was assuming this is why the OP was asking OUR opinions. Maybe I am wrong here Also, if you are really wanting to compare performance on heavy bone then we are in no way on the same page of how to properly shoot an animal with archery equipment at least not with traditional setups. If you want to talk about extreme FOC setups like Dr Ashby endorses, which requires a total arrow weight of at least 650 grains and head weights of 200+grains, 2 blades, and single bevel edges then there may be a discussion to have.
