Default Magnus Broadheads

I am currently shooting Snuffers at 125gr. I have six stinger 2blades in 100gr on ebay right now http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=260314705535 I havent used them at all because I am thinking about changing over from my snuffers to 4blade stingers.

So here is my question, Should I go with 100gr 4blade stingers or should I stay at 125gr and get 125gr 4blade stingers.

What has the bigger cutting diameter?

Because I am thinking if the 100gr 4blade stingers dont have too small of a cutting diameter I will switch over to them for more speed So that my arrow does not drop so badly every 5 yards past 20 yards. But if the 125gr 4blade head is a better killer I will stick with 125 gr.

I like my Snuffers but they are a bit tedious to get sharp.

well right now I am shooting a carbon express rebel hunter with 125 gr heads and I noticed that I had to resight my bow when I sitched over from 100gr field points because my 125gr heads shot low by 6 inches. So Should I go with the 125gr stinger 4blades or should I go with the 100gr 4blade stingers.

by the way here is my snuffer broadhead test video...

Cool video Tex!! They are one tough BH no doubt and It's no surprise to me as I've shot these BH's for 16 years now and seen them do some crazy stuff allot of other BH's wouldn't come close to handling.

dare I even say it... Bit Id like to see a "rage" Do that.

To tell the truth I was a little disapointed in how little penitration I got on the first test with the gord, but the gord was very dense and hard skinned.

I know I did not break all the way threw the 2 inch bored but i still think the amount of penitration was fairly impressive.

I am still up in the air about 125gr vs 100gr 4blade stingers.

Like I told you earlier I think you should go with the 125's. It's more pack to the punch!! That's all up to you though.

Question for ya. Did you sharpen that Snuffer In that test you did or was It straight out of the package?

Just curious because In the one PM you sent me you said these BH's were a bugger to get sharp. They aren't very sharp coming out of the package, It Is a pain to get some of them sharp. Thats why I asked how sharp your BH was. If It wasn't as sharp as it should of maybe then you would of had better penetration. I'm not saying you didn't have the BH razor sharp because maybe you did. Just a thought Is all.
