Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Slick Trick Question?

The Viper tricks are far better penetrators.

I've never had a viper trick stay inside an animal. 100% have exited. Since going to the viper trick I have not used the magnums again. The difference in penetration is consistent, the accuracy is the same.

I think if the bow is capable of 70 plus pounds and 300fps the magnums are the best choice. If the bow is 250 fps and 60lbs or less the viper tricks are far better.

That gap between 250-300 or 60 and 70lbs leaves you with options. This is where I fall into place. My decisions then become game based rather then bow based. Something bigger like Eland, elk, wildebeest, Male wild hogs, bison, etc would only be the viper trick. medium sized game like Mule deer, blesbok, hartebeest, black bears, female hogs, or smaller hogs, the standard or magnums are great.

I could however happily go forth with the rest of my bow hunting using only the viper tricks for everything.
