Used to shoot montecs, most spun ok, but poor blood trails for me. Then shot Shuttle-T locks, which shot well, but didn't seem "sharp." Then I tried G5 strikers, which were SHARP, but didn't spin sell AT ALL.

If you want the best flying, most accurate head you want small, smooth and rattle free. But most of all you want your arrow properly fletched, spined and balanced. A well matched arrow combined with a perfectly tuned bow will make them all fly accurately.
In testing we like to push the limits and see what we can get away with in low FOC and minimal fletching. Once we reach a limit we like to test in wind and rain. In those conditions heads like the WASP Bullet, G5 Montec and our series of LPS bladed heads seem the most accepting to arrows with the poorest design. Better than the vast majority of expandables out there!
With a well designed arrow it's much less a case of what is the more accurate head out there. It's more a case of what head does not fly accurate. There are not too many of those out there these days.

I really like the Magnus Stingers. Myself and two other buddies use then and have always had good results.
The Magnus 2 blade really caught my eye, I like the idea of two blade penetration over 3! You have had success with their flight?

After I got done cursing the fact that he was a WAY better shooter than I would ever be >:( >:( I asked him to tell me which group was the better one. After a couple minutes of putting his hands around the groups he says, "OK, I guess your right!" :chuckle:
He now shoots the VanDyke 100.

None of us have to change anything from field points to broadheads.

Are you using the 2 or 4 blade version miles?

I'm using the 4. To me it's basically a 2 with two small bleeders (or whatever you want to call them).
They shoot straight and just pile into the target. I zipped one through a blacktail down here in CA this past year. Double lung pass through and the deer made it about 20yds. They leave some pretty big openings.

I shoot the magnus stinger, too, and like them. They fly with field points and leave a nice blood trail.
If you shoot vain out how do u place your Magnus vertical or in line parallel with main vain

Anyone ever tried the Kudu points? They look deadly.
I can't remember who, but someone gave me a few to play with at a show. Seem nice enough if you like two blade heads. They bend like most two blades do but weren't at all bad. Trailing edges were a nice touch. Oregon company. Haven't met them that I know of, but always nice to support PNW folks.

But I have 16 slick tricks I need to either shoot into trees or kill elk with first.
MLBowhunting's brother can show you how to destroy those in no time at all! I believe he is called the hairless rocky chuck master. :chuckle:

Disclaimer: Shameless plug time. I shot the Savora TI-Con and can not say enough about them. And from hwat I hear the new blades will make it even better. These heads held Zero to at least a hundred yards, flew like darts, spun like tops and cut like scalpels. I shot them inadvertantly into stumps ( they are to expensive to ruin on purpose. But I have a fondness for 15 dollar braised grouse and sauteed mushrooms, and rabbit and dumplings :chuckle:), bounced them on gravel roads, shot them into dirt banks, and through some big game animals. never lost a blade and all except one could have been shot again. Skipping down logging road on pit run will ruin the best of blades. And wreck a great arrow. Want to know what it wont hurt? a Savora titanium ferrule. No visible damage to the tip and new blades and spinning like new. I shot a cow on a steep quartering angle and hit her low, the head sliced, not broke, sliced 2 ribs as it entered the cavity. Im convinced a steeper blade angle or less durable head could very well have affected the outcome of a perfect hunt. Great head. Dont let the "old school" look fool you. These aint your grandpas broadheads!

I am a slick trick standard 100 grain shooter myself. I really want to pick up some of RADSAVS broad heads because I believe the Deisgns and build along with attention to detail make them a better browd head. But I have 16 slick tricks I need to either shoot into trees or kill elk with first.x

I am amazed at how accurate the Savora heads are, keep in mind my bow is very well tuned. The Savora head will be in my quiver for a long time
