    Slick Tricks are good heads but they are not cut on contact. Cut on contact are heads where the blade cuts first, not a broadhead tip like the Slick Tricks have. At low weights I would want a head that cuts on contact.

    Here in NY minimum draw weight is 35#s. The people who set the regs in each state are much smarter than me, so...... 35 lbs is bow enough!! Good luck.

    They have a cut on contact head called the Viper trick. Looks wicked.

    Slick Trick offers multitude of variants. One and actually one time they had two coc type heads. Even a mechanical one too....not sure they still have that one though.

    Even the Viper Trick to me isn't a true COC head because the tip extends beyond the blades. I am sure it works great, I am not bashing them. I have some ST Magnums in my broadhead box. I know dropping to even 50#'s this year I made sure I had a COC head to help with penetration, so the ST and QAD Exodus will stay in the box this season.

    I have an aunt and cousin (12 year old girl) and both shoot 35# with magnus heads and get pass throughs on broadside shots on deer at 20 yards or less.

    Yup easily...people today equate having to have an extremely fast light arrow set up...because well speed is sexy. Honestly, heavier arrow with a non-mechanical good solid head (CoC preferred but both work) can be extremely lethal. Sure keep shots to shorter distances...but honestly I've only harvest 2 deer over the 26 yard mark...most coming in the 15-20 variety.

    I've had a few buddies take up traditional and recurve hunting lately...they quickly learned that despite the "extremely" slow performance of their bows, they're getting pass throughs because they listened to others that already were shooting this way and built heavier arrows, high foc and a good solid head.
