This was my first year using the Magnus Stingers and I took 3 deer and an elk with them. I absolutely love them. I've never had a broadhead fly better out of my bow and arrow combination than the magnus, heck sometimes I even thought they flew better than my field tips. The penetration was great. All pass throughs without any question, just blew through each animal including 40 yards at the elk. All animals were dead with 75 yards. Tough, ribs and shoulders and they came out without a scratch and they resharpen so easily.

And yes, damn poor blood trails. I know that shot location has everything to do with blood trails but a couple of these were heart shots with low exits and I've been around enough to know I should have had an awesome blood trail and didnt. SO I am torn, I love absolutely everything about them except the trails, but sooner or later you will make a marginal shot and a good blood trail will be a must to finding that animal and thats what scares me.

I emailed the owner of the company about my concerns and asked for his advice on which head HE would choose between the Stinger, the Buzzcut, and the Snuffer SS, and he replied that hands down no question, he would choose the buzzcut for accuracy, toughness, penetration AND bloodtrails. I will be trying the Buzzcut next year.
