I was lucky enough to spend a couple of days in a blind last week.

The dark moon phase in August is always a good time in the hide.

I tested the 125gr Viper Tricks from Slick Trick.

They were on my Carbon Express Maxima 350 arrows for a total arrow weight of 450gr.

My 2010 Bowtech 350 Destroyer at 70# shoots the arrows at 308fps...

Early Wednesday morning in the blind and I finally got the Gemsbuck bull I have been looking for...

After dropping him at the skinning shed I jumped into another hide for looking for an impala ram but when after a couple of hours this boy presented the shot I could not resist.

The Gemsbuck was 36 and the Kudu 53 1/8

The Viper Tricks performed perfect with straight line penetration busting ribs on entry and exit on both animals.
