Okay, first and foremost, let me go on record and say I WAS WRONG!!! [:-]

You know all the posts and reply posts of mine going on and on about the 100gr Magnus Stinger 4 blade broadhead. I was praising it and how well it flew and how I can't believe it because I shoot 125gr field tips and 125gr Slick Tricks. Why did the 100gr Stingers fly the same even though they're 25 grains lighter.

Paul Mohr and others have replied in great detail that something is just not right... You should always shoot the same grain broadheads as field tips. I just shrugged it off and kept on practicing and not thinking about it.

In regards to my other thread about "Butch's old bow before and after", since the bowshop put on new string leeches, a new S-coil stablizer, and tweaked the bow a little bit, it is amazingly quiet now. I have just been practicing with 125gr field tips and not having any problems at all.

Now, after dinner, I decided to play with the 125gr Slick Tricks and the 100gr Magnus Stingers, with the horribly shot up Black Hole target. [Bear in mind everyone, I have not shot any broadheads at all, since my bow was tweaked at the bow shop.] Well, now I have some interesting results to post - which got me really irritated and feeling totally foolish (going with 100 grain vs sticking with 125 grain).

Same old PSE bow with XX75 2315 arrows:
125 grain field tips ---- dead on at 20,25,30 yards, anywhere... (no change)
125 grain Slick Tricks --- dead on at 20,25,30 yards too (great broadhead!)

....and now the alarming surprise:
100 grain Magnus Stinger 4 blade ---- flew high consistently 20,25,30 yards!! At 30 yards, it almost flew over the Black Hole target! One shot hit about an inch from the top and penetrated out the back top edge! WTF....[:@](well, I know I have to aim at the top of the Black Hole, because the bullseye is all shot out, but still... Daaaaay-um!!!!)

....andeven a more alarming thing:
125 grain NAP Thunderheads. I have put these aside after the Slick Tricks and Magnus Stingers, because the TH's always, always, - for some God knows reason -always flew low no matter what. Well, guess what... They flew dead on accurate where I aimed at 20 yards and 25 yards (I didn't take a 30 yard shot because I was getting a little annoyed at myself and the 100gr Magnus Stinger issue.)

I wonder if, when the bowshop installed the new string leeches and when they had it in the press, if they adjusted my tiller or nock point or something, while I wasn't looking. (I did step away and drool over a brand new Hoyt Ultra-mag while they had my bow in the press). Anyway, my old bow shoots the same, feels the same, is a heck of a lot more quieter and balanced.

I just can't believe all of this.... I am totally confused and befuddled over the whole broadhead weight and bow setup charts and FOC and everything.... [&o][>:]

I am going to order some 125 grain Magnus Stinger 4 blades and try them, since the 100 grain now consistenly are flying high. I even got so irritated by it all, that I used the exact same arrow and with a field tip, a 125gr Slick Trick, a 100gr Stinger, and a 125gr Thunderhead, all the exact same distance too. All the 125gr heads flew dead on. The 100gr head flew high consistenly.

Aaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!! Anyone want some 100gr Magnus Stinger 4 blade heads?
