I have never used these but read a little about them and they seem to get good reviews. I am just looking for more opinions on how they sharpen, fly and how they do on big game. I am going to be hunting BIG Whitetails in Alberta this fall (Possible 300lb deer) and I am considering using these heads. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
We sell quite a few of them,nothing negative heard from anyone.
My bro uses them. Loves everything about them. He got them from The Nocking Point.
These are great heads. They are easy to sharpen and fly great. I have taken alot of deer with them. I like the 160 gr. head.
I,ve killed 4 bucks the past two years with them and all 4 fell within 40 yards or less of the shot. Great head and easy to get razor sharpe.
They are tough and you can get them scary sharp
Slicker Than Owl Spit.....or something like that.
That's all that I have been shooting the last couple years. Easy to sharpen and great arrow flight.
The only thing I shot was a armadillo and it blew right through with a 48lb bow (not sure how tough dillos are) but the thing that facinated me about STOS is how sharp they get,,,, they are the sharpest broadhead I have ever personally sharpened and like all small ratio broadheads they fly like a field point,,,,even if the spine is off they still flew good I was amazed!
I killed some moose and some caribou with them. I really like Stos although I don't use them exclusively.
I wish they came a little heavier than 160 grains.
I have used them for the past 10 years or so. They have worked great. Plan to use them this year on elk, bear and deer.
Just shaved my arm with the STOS I used in turkey season and last sharpened in April.
I shot a 150 lb does a few years with a 145 grain stos and a 75 grain adapter on a full length 2117, hit her square in the shoulder at 22 yards, got 13" of penetration...

and have used them on the large deer here.....I use Stos, Magnus and Eclipse......all work great and you will have no problem with them
That's good to hear. I won a pack of 145's at the PBS banquet
They are no good for broadhead tuning...you need something that does not fly as easy.
Thank you for all the helpful info guys. I really appreciate it. I ordered the 130 grain for my cedars.

Excellent heads i am not sure why they dont get more attention. Very high quality and as mentioned they fly so well they are not much good for broadhead tuning.
I shot this bull elk about 10 years ago when I first started shooting STOS broadheads. As you can see in the photo the hit was right in the shoulder. The elk was broadside when I shot. My shot was to the right of where I was aiming. The arrow was about 600 grains and the bow was a 52# Black Widow recurve. The arrow penetrated up to the crest and the bull went about 60 yards. it made a believer out of me.

That's a very nice bull. Great test for the broadhead.
nice elk...did the job well
Perfect shoot,Jim
