Just wondering if any ya'll modify the tip of the magnus 2 blade ....taken the tip down about 1/8" so it doesn't curl up on hard hits(bone etc.)Also if ya do does it effect penetration?Right now i havn't touched my blades but am courious if doing this helps anythang.
Thanx Jerry

If god didn't want us to eat animals....Why did he make them outa meat?

I've never had the tip curl up even on a heavy bone shot. They just slice right through. The only time I have had any tip curl, is when I hit a big rock on that was on the other side of the deer I had just shot. Just make sure they are sharp(ie: not out of the pack). That's all you should need, they are super heads.

I am shooting the new Magnus Stingers and buried one up to the ferrule in a cedar tree after passing through a deer. I really don't think your going to have a problem with the tip curling on you.

I have heard of people doing this for the reasons you have mentioned, but personally, I have not done this. The only thing that I recommend modifying is the angle of the blade to achieve a better edge. Like WV, I have never experienced the end curling. I have had one slightly bent after a shot at a deer, however, like WV, I am not sure when the blade bent. It may have been after the pass through. One note however, I use a 145 grain head. I have seen the 100 grain vented blade head they make now, and am not so sure of it's strength.

I don't bother, infact they are pretty darn tough out of the pack, but I do agree you need to sharpen them before going hunting. Magnus makes a great broadhead, tough and accurate.
