kinda disapointed with magnus stingers
 
well i pulled the two stringers out of the package a couple days ago and was dissapointed after i shoot it in to my foam target,,i pulled it out and the tip was curled over,,only had one do this and it still flies great so i guess i can complain to much,besidesd it is just a practice blade now,,,actully saying that and then saying that they do hold up extremly kinda contradicts waht i just did say but o well,,i shot the metal support rod on one of my other targets and u cant tell that i even hit it with out looking real close at the blabes,,these thing are damn near indestrucable,,i did bend a bleeder blade though,,on the same metal rod that main blade hit,,it still flies extremly well,,even out of a poorly tuned bow,,ohh and as for the rod it has two nice little gouges in it from the main blade and the bleeder :D:D:D:D

This is where I had some issue with them last year testing them out (never used them on game).

There seems to be some variance on QC.of the steel....I had one that took a very minor ding/hit just get bent all outta shape (it went through my target, and buried in the dirt...I checked carefully and the only thing it hit was a small tree root about as big around as a dime...no rocks...or anything else...)

I had another one glance offthe top of the target (used the wrong pin)andthen glanced offa rock, and it was just nicked up a bit. Couldn't find any wobble, etc.

:shrug:

I've been shooting the stinger Buzzcuts this year and so far they fly great and I haven't had any problem with them bending. I had one go through the target and into the ground with no damage at all. I am definitly not disapointed with the stingers!!

I am kinda surprised that you hurt one, they are tough as nails. Get hold of Magnus, they may replace it under their warranty.

I haven't used them myself as they aren't my style of head but a good buddy of mine bought a pack this year and has not had any problems with durability or accuracy out of his bow.I wonder if there really is a quality control issue involved here.

I bent one in pratice and shot another on a deer. it worked on the deer just fine, but had a bent ferrul when I pulled it out of the ground. they were replaced by magnus no questions asked. So I got three new ones for this year.

if yours are bent send them back they will replace them, and stop shooting at targets and go shoot them at a deer. Put it where it belongs and you won't be disappointed.

have to shoot them at targets can shoot at anything else yet,,legally and i dont want to get in trouble by the CPO,,cause bad thing will happen,,

but the only this it is it was the tip on one and it has been shot since,,and the other was the bleeder,,would they replace these or should i just get the replacement bleeder,,the only thing with that is i would have to order them thourgh cabela's,,

PSE, I'm just wondering but you said that you only got (2) broadheads in the pack, I've not seen them in two packs. Where did you find them and how much where they? Thanks.
