Have one of the best warranties in the business. For me they fly great and very accurate with my bows.

I've been using the four blade  125 grain Stingers for several years and have taken a lot of critters with them with zero problems. Great head.

I love em because of how readily available they are.  You can use heavier inserts to up the weight on the end of your arrow.  125's 2 or 4 blade seem great with 50 or 75g inserts as a basic deer/ game head.

My shortest tracking jobs ever were with stingers. Maybe just the shot placement, but I have the utmost  confidence in them.

I am leaning towards the 150 4 blade I have a couple of the 100s I shoot just messing around and they fly like lazars I normally shoot 150gr points so the 150 four blades should fly good also at least that's what I'm thinking

Add weight up front with 125 2 blades. Accurate and deadly.

My go to head for a lot of years! i only switched cause i like to shoot a 200 grain head.
Shot his doe with a four bade stinger, the reason her leg is so twisted is on the exit the magnus shattered (cut) her leg bones in two

I shoot the 125gr two blade.  Great flight and they are tough!

I've been shooting the 150 gr 4 blade for a couple of years now. Not only do they fly great, but they also leave an excellent and short blood trail!

I'm going to shoot these this season. I got the 150 two blade with a 100 grain brass insert.

Pretty sure they come sharp right out of the packaging too...
Title: Re: Magnus Stingers?
Post by: bear mike on August 04, 2014, 10:40:00 AM
That's what I hear and that's good because I cant sharpen well at all.

Post by: CoachBGriff on August 04, 2014, 10:48:00 AM
They always flew better out of my bows than any other heads.   I switched also just because I wanted a lot more weight up front.  I may go back to them some though.

I wish they made a 200grn model.  Great heads.

I've used them back in my "wheelie" days.
Then with my original 62# recurve and still with my 53# longbow.
they are GREAT heads. Easy to replace or re-sharpen the blades. Fly true. Have taken multiple deer, a turkey, and coyote with them. I love the diamond tip: it will split ribs and even a leg bone on the far side and still be useable.

PLUS: they are WAY less $$ than some of the other broadheads...I mean, $50-100 dollars for 3 broadheads?!?!?! Crazy!

I had one to fail when I hit a large bull elk in the shoulder bone. It was not the BHs fault, it was my shot that was the problem.

That said, Magnus replaced the 2 blade Stinger with a 4 blade buzzcut (no charge). That will probably be my elk BH this year.

Well made, easy to sharpen and a lifetime warranty that cannot be beat!

My go-to head.  Readily available and sharp out of the package.  I have no reason to mess with anything else.

Post by: Tajue17 on August 09, 2014, 08:45:00 PM
they are awesome,,,, also there are guys with compounds shooting the 2-blade stingers 100+ yards and hitting 2-3" balloons on Ytube so that should tell something too!

I've tried different heads, but always seem to come back to my stingers! The price is right, American made, shaving sharp out of the package, easy to re-sharpen, they fly quiet and true, great customer service, and the best guarantee in the business.

I started using them years ago with wheels. I was happy with the flight and the blood trails they left. Being a COC, they were a no brainer when I switched to trad.

A few years ago, I was hunting on the ground, and the rut was heating up. A nice 5pt chased a doe right to me. He wasn't leaving her sight. Even after I shot right underneath him. As I prepared for another shot, the huge doe stepped out for a gimme pass thru. Well, I knew that buck wasn't going far, and I only had one broadhead left. So I retrieved the arrow from the doe out of the dirt, and with only a few strokes on my pocket stone, it was spinning true and shaving hair. I spooked that buck standing 10 yards from my dead doe.

I also once sent in 9 broadheads that I had accumulated over the years that were either bent, broken, chipped, or otherwise unsharpenable from misses, hitting gravel, or prying out of trees. I received 9 brand new heads in replacement, no questions asked, and it cost me less than $5 to ship them. You can't beat that!

Anyone try the Stinger "Killer Bees" yet? I like mine, 125gr 2 blade. Same great broadhead in a non-vented model.

Post by: Gdpolk on August 10, 2014, 12:58:00 PM
I've had great results with my 125 screw in 2-blades.  This year I am going to try a new head to see what a 3-blade single bevel will do.

I did. I found them flimsier than the regular. No offense, but they just seemed "cheaper."  I like regular stingers and buzzcuts, though.
