Title: Any Magnus Stinger users here?
Post by: skychief on June 28, 2017, 04:11:00 PM
I've used them for deer hunting in the past and think I'll use them this Fall.

Any opinions of them from those that have used them?

Best regards, Skychief

I'm taking two bows to hunt antelope and elk this fall. One of my arrow setups include the 125 stinger two blade. They're tuned and flying the same as my field tipped arrows, and I can put these blade into my sharpening jig and in short order, I can have them popping hair off my arm with very little effort. I hope to see how they perform on game this year.

Great heads, though I prefer the Buzzcut version.

Used them a couple times for deer in the past and they performed flawlessly. Very short blood trails on each occasion

Theyve performed very well for me on more than a few deer and 1 squirrel.

The results my friend has gotten with them on whitetails have been impressive.

Very, very good broadhead supported with a lifetime replacement guarantee.

I have used them almost exclusively over the last few years. I had 4 damaged heads that I had accumulated over the years and sent Magnus a picture of them and I got 4 new broadheads sent to me in the mail. Didn't even have to send the old heads in and they paid for postage.

How you gonna beat a deal like that?

Nothing but. I adopted them when shooting training wheels. The thing I love most about them is, for me at least, there was no resighting or tuning. I literally would unscrew my points, screw in a Stinger and go out with the confidence of knowing I would be on target.

Second to that is a blood trail I have only seen outdone by Snuffers.

Mike Sohm is good people! My buddy designs a lot of his marketing graphics.
Love Magnus heads and the lifetime guarantee is legit. Send him a head and new ones arrive...no questions asked. I've killed a lot of deer with the Snuffer SS and a few with Stingers.

Anyone have trouble getting them to spin true? Seems like about 1 out of six won't spin true no matter what I try.
Title: Re: Any Magnus Stinger users here?

Bisch.. how many did you get total ? The Stinger is a great and dependable head .

I've had them fail to spin true, usually occurring after I remove the blades for sharpening and reinsert them into the ferrule. I correct the wobble by loosing the screw holding the blade in place and move the blade slightly, then retighten the screw. I spin the broadhead and check for a wobble. If I notice a wobble, I repeat the process. I've never had a BH I couldn't correct by doing this.

I trace around the ferrule with a black marker before I take re blade off to sharpen. When I put it back together, I use that marker line on the blade to line everything back up. That system has worked well, and they usually spin true without further adjusting.

I've killed 5 deer and 2 turkeys with the buzzcut the last 2 seasons.  I like them pretty well.  I know everyone says that a serrated blade is not as good as a regular sharp blade when shooting through critters but they have worked very well for the deer I shot.  To be fair though, all the shots on deer were double lung shots at close range with the exception of one doe I hit square through the liver.
