Default Magnus Stinger Buzzcuts...No Good

http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1738371
There is the link to a description of a deer I shot today with the Magnus Stinger Buzzcuts...
All in all, they dont leave a very good blood trail at all, be warned!
There have been reports of this on other forums as well.

I have heard that the Buzzcuts have poor blood trails too. A serrated blade is good for a sawing action but for slicing on a single pass, it's not the best opton.

Campo, try the regular magnus with the bleeder blades, I think you'll have much better success with those.

Hmm...seems that there are some conflicting reports here. Either way, I think I am going to switch, I like three blades more that two man and two bleeder blades.

Yes, campo, I will heed the warning. Never thought a serrated blade was the ticket anyway. Everyone knows that if you want to bleed to death, cut yourself shaving or use the edge of a piece of paper...LOL Half the time you could almost die from blood loss before you get those two type of cuts to slow down.

I would not think the broadhead is to blame for a poor blood trail. I have seen old school two blade heads produce copious amounts of blood while a four blade Muzzy produced very little, both with double lung hits. I have seen a 22 cal. bullet cause more blood then a 7mm mag with a Ballistic tip bullet. I have personnaly seen human trauma with very deep and clean lacerations produce very little blood while large abrasions bleed like hell. So many varriables go into producing a profuse blood trail that to make a staement that the Buzzy Cut was to blame is very unfounded and inaccurate and more based on emotion then fact...

True, but I don't shoot the Buzzers....Just the "regular." Oh, and I shot a doe 2 weeks ago, complete pass through and went through BOTH shoulder blades....

And sir, how about the fact that several other people have reported the same thing that I have...
The fact is, sir, that you failed to read the other posts that I referred to where people had similar problems.
Still, I stand by my guns, not a fan at all of these broadheads.

I think the most important part of a broadhead is the sharpness.
