I'm going to use slick trick standard 4 blade for my upcoming elk hunt. If you used them on elk, what did you like? dislike? post success pics if you got em, thanks

I've taken 3 archery bulls. The first two were with Slick Trick standard 100 grain broadheads. Don't have a handy pic of the first one. Frontal shot at 25 yards. Buried to the fletching and had about a 30 yard recovery. Second one was a 45 yard broadside shot. Hit slightly low and took out heart and had about a 75 yard recovery. Good blood trails for both. Only reason I switched to Montecs was so that I could sharpen/hone the blades myself. Good success with the Montec this year. Both brands fly well with my bow setup.

Have ran the standard 1" cut 100 gr slicks as well (originals). Cut through both onside and offside ribs @55 yards on an elk. Head is still in very good shape, but permanently resides on the mantle these days ;-)
Pros: The ferrules for the standards and magnums (both 100 @ 125) are intergahangable in the sense that 100gr standard or magnum blades will fit and not change the dynamic of the head. So if you wanted to run a wider cut later on, simply purchase the magnum replacement blades instead of a whole new set.
Blade replacement is easy if you should knick one practicing prior season.
Once tightened on the shaft they are silent, a few of the replaceable blade heads on the market tend to have a little wiggle room with the blade races that allow slight blade noise even when mounted. Not a hunt killer, but when I'm walking through the elk woods, I'm not trying to hear blades rattle either.
lastly, and this is bow dependent, they fly great. I BH tune starting at 40yds, one BH followed by one FP. If all else is good to go (bow tuned, timed, in spec etc..) I'll have little to no adjustments to make with point of impacts between the two.
