Here's what they do on a cold and rainy night ...

They seem plenty tough and leave a nice hole.

Hi George
I have been shootin 125gr. 4 blade Stingers on the last 2 bucks I shot. They were great!(both pass-thru's) Shortened my arrows a little so might be trying the 150's this year.

Wow, that is a serious blood trail.
I've got a half a dozen I'm going to try out this year.

See my profile pic for a nice buck taken with one.  

My 9-year-old daughter will be shooting them this fall, too.  Last fall she shot the 125-grain 2-blade... worked great on a nice doe even with 20" of draw length and not very many pounds... but I really think the 4-blade is better.

Been shooting the stingers for about 6 years now, shot 150's for the first time last year.  I have zero complaints, they come scary sharp, have a life time warranty, and fly like darts.
Pass throughs are nice.

Great head. I zipped a 125 gn through an 8 pt last season.
Pass through and he piled up within 50 yds. I have used them for several years.

Awesome heads!!
Resharpen or replace the blades!
Great flight, bone cracking diamond tip!

Been using them about 3 yrs....used the 125's prior to that!

I started using them last fall and took an antelope (in side pic) with them.  Talked to the fellow at Magnus who helped develop them and they are exactly what I am looking for, especially for bigger stuff (moose, elk, black bear).  They have a great tapered tip to add strength, heavy blades, scary sharp, sharp on front and back, fly like darts.  Am using 31 1/4" Heritage 250s, 100 gr inserts, 630 gr total weight. 30 ft # kinetic energy, great momentum numbers too. 51# recurve.

I just switched over to them and have begun to acquire as many as I can.  Great quality control and the bleeder doesn't seem to move around like some other similiar brands.  I'm looking forward to September!   :goldtooth:

Very tough heads.  Missed the target a few times last year and did some worm burning in clay and stones.  Stayed straight but really knocked the edge off.  Flew fine as a practice only head.
