Real-World Testing: Putting Slick Trick Magnum Extra Blades to the Test
First Use Experience
My first use of the Slick Trick Magnum Extra Blades involved replacing the slightly dulled blades on my broadheads after a practice session at the range. The replacement process was surprisingly straightforward, thanks to the simple and effective design of the Slick Trick broadhead. I specifically tested them in preparation for a whitetail hunt in the Appalachian Mountains.
The Slick Trick Magnum Extra Blades exhibited no performance issues whatsoever. The broadheads, now fitted with the new blades, flew true and consistent with my field points, giving me the confidence needed for ethical shots in a hunting situation. Replacing the blades took minimal time, and I encountered no problems.
Extended Use & Reliability
After several weeks of use, including multiple practice sessions and successfully harvesting a deer, the Slick Trick Magnum Extra Blades have proven to be exceptionally reliable. The blades held their edge well, showing only minimal signs of wear after passing through hide and bone. Maintenance is simple; a quick wipe down with a clean cloth and a light coat of oil is all that’s needed to keep them in top condition.
Compared to cheaper replacement blades I’ve used in the past, the Slick Trick Magnum Extra Blades significantly outperform them in edge retention and overall durability. With other brands, I’d often find blades bending or chipping after a single shot into a target, but these are built to last.
