hutchies Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 By the Magnus Stingers that is........While I was out with the wife for the day we swung by Bass Pro. Spent about a hour walking around the archery section feeding my addiction for checking out everything........ Looked at several broadheads......the heads that are legal in Oklahoma. I would love to try the slicktrick.....but not legal in OK as well as anything else under 1.5 inches from point of connection to the tip........which rules out a ton of great heads. Picked up a pack of Magnus Stinger 4 blades and thought hmmmmm I wanna see these outside the pack.......Sharp is not the word. Turned my arm over and pushed the blade across the top of the skin............I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that it shaved the hair off.......It didn't just cut it I mean one stroke took the hair down smooth as a baby's butt......... I was sold. Give me 2 packs. Also went over and bought me a really good Lansky sharpening system to keep them sharp. Man I can't wait to put one of these bad boys behind the ole shoulder. Also good to hear they stand behind their product. I know last year when Gator was trying to change the BH law in Oklahoma that Magnus was the only one that would really help him out. I'd be lying if I said that didn't sway me to look at them at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Good deal. I've found Thunderheads to be extremely sharp also. Muzzy is not as sharp out of the box as Thunderheads are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted August 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I've been using Muzzy 4 blades up til now..................I agree they aren't sharp out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Finn Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Stingers are a nice head. Casey uses them and it did a nice job last season for him, and he was only shooting 45 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I am REALLY impressed with them. I have one that with through a deer and into the ground, it will STILL shave hair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I got to shoot them last night.............at 40 yards they were 3 inches high. At 20 they were close to the broadheads. Move my rest down a little and I will be in like Flinn............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Finally got a chance to tune them up. Moved my rest down about a 1/16th of an inch and they fly great............Best flying broadhead I have ever shot. I had about a 5 to 10 MPH Right to left wind so that is why they are a little left. The arrow with the orange wrap and white knock is the one with the broadhead. 30 Yard Group 40 Yard Group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shtr Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Last year these heads won the summer shootout and for good reason. Magnus makes an very good head and they are backed by an unconditional lifetime warranty. When they were first released I did a field test on a north American Bison and got a pass through on both forward shoulders at 35 yards with a 300 grain arrow and 60# bow. Awesome heads but with one concession and thats the blood trails. Very weak on the whole. Of course.....if you put the arrow where it belongs , there is nothing much needed in the way of trails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHot a doe last year at 25yds, she bled like crazy, and died within 60 yds of where I shot her. Friend of mine shot 3-4 deer with them last year, and had exceptional blood trails as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a couple good ones but the majority were very weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
