How sharp are Stingers...

[Huntingnut]

How sharp are Magnus Stingers/Buzz Cut's out of the package? Shaving sharp? Anyone hunt with them straight from the package? Whats the best way to sharpen them?

Thanks!

I used the 150 grain 4 blade Stingers last year for the first time. Had 2 complete pass-thrus on the two deer I shot with a 49# recurve. Stingers were right out of the package.

I've used them strait from the pack with good results, always well sharpened and ready to go. They fly great too.

You can hunt with them right out of the pack. I always strop them a little first, but that's just me.

AND They Fly Great Too!

Replaceable blades if they do get dull

This is what I do also! Magnus also sells a very inexpensive sharpener called an " All Sharp" the carbide blades in it are set to the right angle for Stinger heads and it's very easy to use. You don't need it for the new ones, but works good to get the blade back after you have shot it.

Shaving sharp right out the pack and fly great too. Shot some yesterday

Sme here.

Do you guys that strop feel like there is a good deal of improvement, or do you do it more for peace of mind?

[FerretWYO]

Just takes off any curls that may occur in the package. I guess I have never really done a before and after with them.

I also strop them and CAREFULLY add a light touch of oil for protection in the field.

I feel there is significant improvement and it makes me feel better and it's easy!

I've been shooting the new Stinger Killer Bee, 125gr, and they shaved the hair right off the back of my hand, straight from the package.

So how do you resharpen the Buzz Cuts?

It took me a bit, but I finally got around to sharpening one I missed a deer with last year. I used the All Sharp and stropped the crap out of it. The way the serrations are made, they get sharp just by removing material on the one side of the bevels. Sure took a whole lot more work than sharpening a new one but I got it shaving sharp.

[Charlie Lamb]

You can sharpen them on a stone or jewel stick like any other head.

Personally I would skip the Buzz-cuts and get the straight blades,  those suckers are sharp.  Good Head!

This is good to know. I'm using the 150 grain 4 blades for the first time this year and I can't sharpen to save my life.
