broadhead penetration
I've been shooting my bow the last couple of evenings. I usually shoot broadheads all the time. I shoot the magnus stinger 125 gr. and a muzzy three blade 125 gr. In my block target the muzzy always outpenetrates the magnus stinger. I would have thought otherwise.

RE: broadhead penetration
I would also have expected the Magnus Stinger to out penetrate the Muzzy. These Block targets stop arrows by friction, so it is really not much of a test of what you could expect under field conditions. But either one of these heads should work very well for deer, elk, or bear.

RE: broadhead penetration
I also shoot both the Magnus Stingers (100) and Muzzy 3 bld (100), and I shoot them both into a Morrell's Yellow Jacket Brhd Target.
The Magnus 2 blade way outpenetrates the muzzy's in my experience, in fact, the magnus will almost always be sticking out of the opposite side of the target about 6-8". While the Muzzy's only seem to penetrate the target about 10" or so... Very strange that a 3 blade is outpenetrating a 2 blade... must be by default by way of the target.
