which blades to use?
I have just recently shot two deer, one button buck and the other a doe. I was using 100 grain. 4 blade muzzys. and with both deer the arrow went all the way through. I have been curious about the magnus stingers I beleive and was wondering if they were better than muzzys or should I stick with muzzies?

RE: which blades to use?
Muzzy's are a good blade but have a small cutting diameter. For deer I prefer a good mechanical with at least a 1 1/2" cutting diameter.
I also have a theory that mechanicals give more of a punch because of the force needed to open up, while a fixed blades goes through like butter. But thats just a theory. I have comapred mech. to the muzzy and what I have found is the mech. leave more trauma to the internals, wouldnt reccomend them for hogs though.

bigcountry hit it right on the head (thunder)! "New", "new & improved", "better", "high-tech", blah, blah, blah.
Keep giving these people promising "bigger" & "better" things your money.
It's almost impossible to beat the proven thunderheads.

Ever heard of the Slick Trick. Made down in Arkansas, best flying broadhead I've ever shot and extremly solid. I used to shoot the rotating razorbacks, untill they redesigned them, not good. The Slick Trick's are the most durable I've ever shot also.

RE: which blades to use?
I've had good results from many fixed blades including Muzzy and TH's. However I use COC heads, for the past 5 years it has been Steelforce Premiums. Main reason my bow is more likely to be used for bear, elk and moose then deer (though they have done a bang up job ondeer as well). They have just flat out performed in all aspects.
I will not use a mechanical, as i don't consider them to be a great choice for the larger deer species.

Thats why Uncle Matt will be using old dug up stone arrowheads he found in his back yard this year.
