Title: Magnus Snuffer SS vs Black Hornet
Post by: BRONZ on May 23, 2026, 02:13:12 PM
I've killed a pile of whitetail with the Snuffer SS and my 46 lb limbs. Recently, I tuned my 43 lb limbs to some 500 spine Taipans with 100 gr head and 100 gr inserts. I really like the Stingers, but my split-vision shooting... I tend to hit high.

So, with my 43 lb bow... go back to my Snuffer SS or try the Black Hornet. Hornets are short, but they look like bone busters.  Thoughts?

Why switch if you are happy with the Snuffers?  Fun to try new stuff but don't forget what has worked for you.

The two blade heads always do better so far as penetration.  I tried the Snuffer SS but found them hard to sharpen compared to my carbon steel ones.

In my nsho, if there's one thing that 45+ yrs of killing deer with a stick has taught me, it's this.

If they're sharp, a broadhead is a broadhead is a broadhead.

I'm a 3 blade guy, killed my biggest with a snuffer SS so that would be my choice.

Your bow weight is not going to bust any major bone no matter the head. Why are you shooing bone???
