Magnus Bullhead and Trad Bows

[robslifts]

i assume when talking about body shots they were talking about the small game they mentioned not the turkeys

[KSdan]

Magnus said they are coming out with an adaptor that should fit on any quiver to carry them.  Interested to see. . .

Looked at them a couple of weeks ago at a Sportsman's Warehouse...very nice looking head.  Transporting them would probably be best done in the original packaging in a backpack and setting them up when you get to your spot.  

I think the way I'd use them is in addition to my regular points.  I think a turkey at around 10 yards should be a higher percentage shot compared to a long shot with a longbow.  If I do get some I'm going to keep them in my pack and use them on hunts from my Double Bull, when I have time ahead to assemble them.

Either way they are much more rugged looking product than the Guillotine IMHO.

Josh,

The original packaging, to me, seemed pretty flimsy to trust in a pack.  I'd hate to slip and land on my back with those encased in a thin blister package.

Steve's got me real interested in these....hmmmm

Could be a very good point, I'd have to take another look a the packaging.  I was in a hurry and spotted them on the way out.

Packer Creek makes a couple of cases for the gobbler guillotine.  I'm sure they should work for the Magnus.

I spent a while yesterday shooting these and I am very impressed. Despite their wingspan, they are quite tough and fly pretty well. I did notice that they weaken the spine more than a normal broadhead. Shafts that bareshafted perfectly with a 125 grain field point were impacting 4 inches right (weak) at 15 yards. I switched to a lighter bow and they came back to center. That's ok, I was torn between which bow to use so now I have a choice.

I put some thick foam above my Rhinehart hog target to shoot into and one shot went a bit low, skimming the rump of the hog.  Huge slice!  These things will be devastating anywhere from the base of the neck up. Can't wait to get in the woods with them.

Curt, you're such a good shot that I can't see why you should have any hesitation to give them a try. You could put away the string tracker.    :D

Norb,

I was shooting them inside at 15 yards into my yellow jacket taget.  When those 640g arrows hit, I thought they were going to push the target thru the wall!  They are going to pack a WALLOP!  Come on April!

Norb....How do they do for "CUTTIN"?

Are they OFICALLY ENDORSED  

[beachbowhunter]

Vance...do you remember the wood chipper scene from Fargo?       Sumpen like that. Seriously, these things are sharp and pretty darned tough
