Default are slick trick grizztrick 2 legal to hunt with?

i really like the look of this broadhead! so my question is acording to the alberta regulations book it states that "an arrow that has a tip that bears a head that is not intentionally designed to resist being withdrawn after it has penetrated an object. Furthermore, it must either have a solid, sharp cutting head of at least 7/8 inch in width, or a head that, when the arrow impacts, opens to present sharp cutting edges at least 7/8 inch in width.
so these heads look like they could resist when pulling out of a critter, so does that make them illigal?
here is a pic of them

Like your choice of bows but think maybe your numbers are a little mixed up 100 gr arrows seems REAL light and 310" draw ?

I shoot Slick Trig Mags and love them. I've heard good things from other peeps about Ramcats. Only negative thing I heard about them is the blades can loosen up and flop a bit. Anyone that shoots them had an issue with this?

Well I shot the grizz's today along with my killzones and the slick tricks were shooting about 3" low and 2"left, but the killzones were dead on out to 40yds and my bow is set up to perfection, and my arrows are a little on the stiff side just to be safe, slick tricks claim to have field point accuracy, but I didn't see that at all, my buzzcuts were dead on out to 40yds to, any suggestions on what could be causing this erratic ST flight

I know I might get the gears for this but I was having similar results as u described. I lined up my "cock vane" with 1 of the 4 blades and the problem was eliminated. I didn't even expect it to work but it did, and I am hitting with my FP's out to 50 yards

I tried Ramcats this year .. i had a few issues with couple of the blades coming loose but i just put a little dab of crazy glue in behind the blades and never had a problem after .. put down a bull moose and a whitey buck .. nothing but carnage on the moose .. the whitey never went far either .. but I will be back to slick tricks again this year ..

the full blade model is wicked tuff , i missed my target once and hit solid concert and my arrow broke but the exodus stuck in cement and not a nick or bend and the blades where still sharp, last weekened i also shot a whitetail doe with the full exodus at 40 yards my shot was a little high and she was quarting towards me but i got a full pass threw and my broad head was perfect , the start of the blood trail wasent the best but i think thats just because i hot her high but with in 20 yards there was a blood trail that any one could follow
