Title: Best small game head made (IMO)
Post by: Tim Hoeck on November 25, 2007, 08:33:00 PM
They quit making these many years ago so I made some for screw on shafts with the lathe but not for woods yet. They were called Hoyt Magnums. I'm sure they were no part of the Hoyt bow company. Boy when you hit a rabbit or gopher with these they knew it

I recognize those...I'm pretty sure I remember seeing them in one of Charlie Lamb's posts, too...

They probably wouldn' teven need quite the point on them to work well.  There might be a market for them !

I would sure buy some of those if I could find them, they were a great point.

No doubt about it... an oldie/goodie!! The first generation of that head employed a blade and had a chamfered edge on the striking face.

There was also a little brother that was pretty effective for lighter weight bows.

The Magnus blunt design is based on this head.
