Magnus Stinger
My friend keeps telling me that I should shoot the Magnus Stinger 4 blade 85 gr broadheads for the bowhunting season next year. I was just wondering if these are any good or if not can i have some other suggestions.

RE: Magnus Stinger
I took down two hogs with these last weekend. They did massive damage. One hog ran 60 yds the other about 30 yds. One hit the opposite shoulder and when I pulled it out the blade was broke but with the performance they give you coupled with lifetime warranty, I wasn't that mad.

Nahhhh.....they aren't any good at all. Tell ya what, instead of 85 gr get 100 gr and just send them to me. 
Awesome heads. They fly like darts and are the sharpest heads out of the package. They also have a lifetime warranty on them.

I, as other's have said, think that Stingers are awesome broadheads.SO far they have never required tuning and are very accurate. I will suggest the new Stinger Buzzcut. They leave a better blood trail and fly just as good. I took this hawg with a Buzzcut three weeks ago. He weighed over 500 lbs and only went 15 FEET from where he was shot.

RE: Magnus Stinger
Stingers are great heads and are very durable and extremely sharp.
However the 85 grain head may not be the correct weight head for you to shoot and get the best possible flight from your arrow. Depending on your archery set up you may be better off with the 100 or 125 grain stingers.
I can almost guarantee you (about 90% certain) that you would be better off with a heavier broadhead than the 85 grain.
Don't just go buy the 85 grain head just cause your friend says they are good.

RE: Magnus Stinger
I don't have the numbers for the GT arrows but if you had an axis 500 cut to 25 inches and fletched with three 4" vanes the 85 grain head would give you about 9.5% foc and the 100 grain head would give you about 11% foc.
IMHO the 100 grain would be the better choice and should produce better flight as well.
I always like to keep my foc percentage above 10% and about 13% is where I prefer it to be.
I know it doesn't sound like much but it can make a differance in the flight of your arrow.
