Title: Magnus Stinger Broadheads
Post by: sakoshooter on November 28, 2011, 10:13:09 PM: Being old fashoned, I tend to like cutting point broadheads over most of the newer styles. That said, I've been shooting 100gr NAP Thunderheads off and on for a few years. Switched to 100gr Slick Trick Magnums for this year based on their better flight characteristics in the wind out to 60yds.
The Magnus Singers have held my attention for some time but ya can't afford to buy all types of broadheads just to try them.
I bought a package of 100gr Magnus Stinger 4 Blade broadheads last week and have shot the hell out of them right along side my Slick Tricks with identical flight results. Very windy the other day so I took full advantage of it and shot quite a few different broadheads out to 60yds. The Magnus Stingers shot just like my Slick Tricks in the wind and shoot just like my field points without the wind. Yesterday I moved from 30 to 40 yds with one Stinger but forgot to use my 40yd pin. Using my 30 yd pin, I promptly put a Stinger just under my broadhead target and thru my wood fence. Found it close by in some brush. Shot the same arrow/broadhead today at Skookum Archery Club twice at 50yds. Both times thru the worn out bullseye and into a 4x4 behind it. Still very solid and accurate even after my abuse.
With the last weekend of archery elk coming up fast, I'm looking forward to putting them to a real test.
Button Nubbs, I know you shoot them. Anybody else? Comments?

Post by: passing-thru on November 29, 2011, 06:08:06 PM: I've used the stingers for several and have never had problem. I've taken both deer and elk with them and none have gone more t hen 60 yrds. They have always flown with field tip accuracy for me. I think u will be happy with them :twocents:

All you've got to do is keep from losing them, and you'll never need another broadhead. Very good steel in them for sharpening, too.

Post by: carpsniperg2 on November 29, 2011, 11:17:05 PM: They are a great broadhead. I have seen some great things done with them. I have the 100g "w bleeders" buzz cuts on my wifes bow and my brothers. I like to see them on any bow under 60lbs.

I think I was at one moose, one elk, and 4 deer with one broadhead before I lost it in the rocks. I wonder if I would have been using illumilocks if I could have extended that streak. :chuckle:

Post by: HornHoarder on December 01, 2011, 07:19:04 AM: I have shot magnus stingers 100 grain heads for a few years now, and have been impressed. More likely to get a pass through, which equals a better blood trail plus quicker recovery. Also have sent them in for replacement with no questions asked. In fact I havent had to buy new broadheads for several years.
