Not my business, but if Braveheart has them in stock, don't know why you would need another seller. Don't think you will find them any cheaper or get them any faster. lol

I believe Magnus quit making the 150gr. 2- blade. From what I heard they are still going to carry the 4- blade though. I would like to find a few more packs myself.

Why would they discontinue one of the biggest sellers in their lineup?

I just sent an e-mail asking the question....more later.

I remember seeing a post on here about it. I sure hope it isn't true also. It's the broadhead I have been using the last 2 years.

A 150 gr 2 blade is one of the biggest stinger sellers? Just curious.

Magnus is doing away with the 2 blade 150 Stinger. Magnus is keeping the 4 blade 150 Stinger. Reason for discontinuing the 2 blade 150 Stinger, not enough demand since the 2 blade 150 wasn't pulling it's weight. I got this info straight from Tim at Braveheart Archery since he sells Magnus broadheads.

The Magnus 2 blade 150 Stinger might be big with us trad bowhunters, but the compound bowhunter don't buy them and there are a lot more compound  bowhunters in this country than there are trad bowhunters.

What BWD said, I have talked to the guys about their presharpened tusker broadheads, havn't bought any yet, but they are as nice a bunch as you could deal with, I will definatly do business with them in the future. Also check out the Trad Bow Stringer they sell, also plan to pick one of those up, have seen none better. DK.

Since the 2 blade screw in Stinger 150 is being discontinued, I think a very good substitute will be the 2 blade screw in Werewolf 150 that Eclipse Broadheads will be selling soon.

Does the 150gr 4 blade stinger have the same ferrule as the 150gr 2 blade? The 150 2 blade has a lot bigger ferrule than the 125gr. Supports the blade a lot better i think.

As posted above, Magnus is dumping the 150 2 blade in the Stinger line up.  While they were a best seller for our trad customers, Magnus said they accounted for less than 1% of their overall sales and were not prudent to keep in the line up for business reasons.

We have 2 packs of regular 150's 2 blades and 4 or 5 packs of 150 2 blade Buzzcuts left, when those are gone there will not be anymore.  We will continue to carry the 4 blade Stingers and the 125 2 blade.

Stephen, the 150 2 blades in both regular and Buzzcut use a different ferrule than any other Stinger, it is (was    :(   ) much beefier than the others.  It is my understanding the 150 4 blade uses the same ferrule as the 125 4 blade but the bleeder block on the 150 is steel to boost the weight, instead of aluminum as on the 125.

Hmm.  They are still listed on the Magnus site and available via their store.  While I don't doubt what everyone is saying, if someone is looking for more there appears to be an alternative.

I hope I did not give the wrong impression.  They are a discontinued item by Magnus and thus WE will not be ordering anymore, so when our current stock is gone there will not be anymore available from US.  I apologize if I gave the wrong impression, certainly not my intent.

Magnus told me they thought they'd have stock that had already been manufactured available for about 6 months...that was two months ago...but I imagine they could be found SOMEWHERE for a while yet.

No, it uses a thinner ferrule. It was specifically the fat ferrule on the 2 blade 150s that turned me off...but I am a diehard 150 4 blade user.

Nope, I just wanted to point out that if you ran out folks could still get them from Magnus directly.
