Default Magnus Stingers

Anyone out there use Magnus Stingers? If so, I just purchased a new bow last year, Parker Frontier, which shoots much faster than my old bow and I am now having a lot of problems getting my stingers to fly. I am seriously considering switching to slicks as I have read a lot of good things about them, I have shoot them and they fly great. I am hesitant because I have shot so many deer and bears with my stingers, I know the damage they do. Any advice?

Your bow may need some tuning, a lil tuning and you should be able to shoot the stingers...

I shot several deer and a coyote w/ Stingers last year, and flight was NEVER a problem. I was shooting them in the mid 290's, and they flew perfectly out to 70 yards.

Make sure you have ZERO fletching contact and your bow is perfectly tuned. They should be lazers w/out much effort, they fly awesome.

Magnus Stingers are wicked broadheads!!!

One of the tricks I do with them, is align the main blade vertical with the bow string, by using one of the spare O-rings from a leftover pack of Thunderheads.

I have never had any problems with mine either and I am shooting a Hoyt Vipertec but I am not sure what the FPS is.

That's a good point, Butch. I had forgotten that I did that as well, but w/ my fall away rest all I had to do was turn the nocks.....The cock vane's location is of no consequence. Try that once, turn the blades parallel to the string and see if that helps...

Thanks guys, just got back from the bow shop. My nock was way off as well as my centerpoint. A little tuning and now both my stingers and slicks are flying great. Looks like I may be sticking with my stingers. What do you think?
