Just curious about your experience with these heads and if you liked them.
I have used them on several deer and a couple of bears. Many people on here really like them. For the most part they are good, I do have one exception with them though. I almost never get a 4 bladed exit hole, the bleeders cut a 4 hole pattern upon entry, 4 hole pattern through the soft tissue inside, but only the main blade cuts the hide upon exit. For that reason I am going to try the 3 blade SS Snuffers this fall.
I have killed a few deer with them as well I have used 4 blade and the two blade they are a good head IMO. good blood trails quick kills They are a really tuff head I always take a new to me broadhead out destroy one just to see what they are made of the bleeders nick up easy and I have bent them but the main blade is tuff.... I just wish they would make a 200gr 1 1/2 cut stinger or the buzzcut......
Sounds great I will be using VPA 125 three blades for turkeys.Since I am shooting a lower poundage bow I thought I would give these a try on deer.
"I just wish they would make a 200gr 1 1/2 cut stinger or the buzzcut......"
That would be sweet Gentry!!!
They are my go to head. Ive destroyed a few of the 125 gr heads but so far I'm liking the 150's with the stronger ferrul. With a KME I sharpen the bleeders and main blades and have been very happy with trails and distance traveled since going with the KME and the buzzcuts. I didnt think the serrations would make much of a diffrence but Im seein an improvment since goin that route so Im stickin to it. :thumbsup:

:thumbsup:
two thumbs up for the 4 blade and ... 2 blade's fine as well.
Great broad head, very durable, very sharp, and they fly great.
Yohon those buzzcuts certinley leave a blood trail.That is exactly what I was wanting to know I think I will pick up some 125 grain buzzcuts Saturday.Thanks.....
I like the 150 grain most.The ferrules a little beefier.I shoot the 2 blade.The rear part of the main blade is sharpened.I like that in case the arrow stays in the animal.For the price you cant beat them IMO.They fly really well.
I had a 125 grain Stinger break apart upon striking the shoulder bone of a nice bull elk. Of course, any BH could fail under those circumstances. (Not supposed to shoot'em there!)
Also took a bull with an identical BH. Have taken several whitetails.
Good head.
I killed my bear with a stinger broadhead in June. Here is the link to the video. Just skip to the end to see the shot. Complete double lung passthrough and stuck deep in the dirt on the other side. Bear traveled 75-80 yards. The pic of the bear is in my avatar.

Not a great trail, but there was some blood. It was a high lung shot and I believe that effected the blood trail. She was pretty bloody where she was laying dead.
I used the bow in my signature line.
I shot a coon with one of those(4 blade) this summer...I hit the coon in the collarbone/rib cage/brisket as it was facing me, and exited through ribs/back. :readit: I like them but cannot use them anymore(now shoot with 350 grains up front). The coon made it a whole 10 yards before dying and there was plenty of blood on the ground.(I always heard coons were tough but this one didn't exactly give me that impression) :dunno:
I've been using the Magnus Stinger 125gr 4 blade since about the time they first came out. I've killed a bunch of critters with them with zero failures and zero problems. Lets just say it would take alot to make me change from them. I've used the exact same broadhead to kill numerous critters with just some touching up between. They sharpen easily, stay sharp, don't rust, fly quiet, penetrate, durable, cut going and coming and you don't break the bank buying them. I make my own bows and the last one I made I just named it the "Stinger Flinger"
They are great heads!!!!
Love the 125 4 blades...stingers and buzzcuts
I'll post some pics next
I've had success with 125s and 150s. This year the 150 zipped through that fat doe at 24 yards and buried in the dirt. Thanks for reminding me, I need to buy a couple packs!!!!!
All from a 45# bow.

Excellent heads, we've had many guys that come back for more they like 'em so much. They fly exceptionally well, take a great edge and are plenty tough.
We also carry the hard to find 150 grain 2 blade model.
If Buzzcuts are your thing, we still have a few packs of 150's left at great pricing, when they're gone they're gone.

One tuff head. This is the off side shoulder after going thru both lungs.
They are a tough head. I killed my 1st traditional deer with one. I like them alot but i shoot wood now
