I'm thinking I will use Stingers this Fall. I've taken a few deer with them in the past.
Anybody have any opinions of them, that have used them?
Best regards, Skychief

While I'm not big on modular heads, I have used them. They are very well made and worked quite well. The stainless is hard but relatively easy to sharpen, because the bevel comes perfect. Easy to maintain consistent sharpening angle. They are precision built. That said, I am not a fan of their serrated cousins the buzzcut.

I've settled on the Magnus Stinger 2-blade 150 gr. as my broadhead of choice.

They are probably the easiest head I have ever sharpened they fly great and they kill really nothing more you can ask for from a head

My boys and I have both had great luck with them. I shoot 125's and 150's and my son shoots the 85's. He killed a nice 9 point WT with a 40# compound (when he was 8) with one of the 85's. The arrow passed through and was hanging out by the vanes when the deer ran off. His draw length was only 23-24" then...he did not have a ton of energy, but he had enough,with those heads. That deer only went 40 yards. They are super strong and hold an edge exceptionally well. We love them, but your mileage may vary! Good luck and happy shooting!

I shot my last 5 deer with them and love them. They fly good and are easy to sharpen. I shoot the four blades in 100, 125, and 150 gr.

It's all I've used for the last 5 years. I have taken 10 or 12 whitetail with their 125gr, 2 blades with absolutely no issues. Easy to maintain an edge on, and holds edge really well. No need to look any farther for me.

Good thread, I was wondering if anyone ever had any problems with the blades shifting from the screw being loose or from rough treatment.

I use both the two and four blades Stingers, depending on the poundage of the bow. I use the four blade for 45# and up, and the two blade for any lower draw weight. They fly straight for me, no significant difference between them and my field points. They are very easy to get razor sharp. I use the CC two blade sharpener from 3 Rivers Archery. A couple of light passes and they are sharp! The no questions asked guarantee is outstanding. They are the only broadhead I use now. My brother uses them in the rocky soils of the Ozarks. If he misses and hits a rock and bends a point, Magnus replaces them. I am careful about squaring the front end of my arrows before installing inserts. I have never had a Magnus Stinger wobble when spin testing for alignment.

Not using them now but have in the past. Shot the stinger buzzcut 4 blades, which I think are great. Don't think you can get a better head for the money. The reason I'm not shooting them now is simply because I like trying new makes and models.

I like them but have noticed that the Buzzcuts carry a lot of hair through the wound channel. MP

I love them. Been using them for years. Have shot lots of deer and hogs both with them . Fly great , good penetration , and tuff . I like the 2 blade standard Stingers. Also sharpen easy.

I have used them and killed deer and elk with them, both with longbow and compound. They are good heads, and sharpen well. However, my experience with them is that they do wobble side to side slightly by principle of design. I always spin test and move the main blade slightly each direction until they spin true, then tighten the screw as tightly as possible. If you shoot them into anything hard, this will likely shift and have to be done again. Not a big deal, but my only complaint with them. Given the slow speed of stick bows and my old compound, I cannot say that I have ever had any major issues with flight or tuning. Best of luck. Longbowpoe

Have done postmortems on a number of amimals my buddy has shot with them. They seem to be tough and do a fine job. If I was in the market for a new broadhead I would certainly look at them.

I have shot a Turkey and a Antelope with the 150 grain 4 blade and they work great. Normally shoot the Magnus I, 4 Blade 150 gr so do not use the Stinger a lot. Have a bunch of Stinger 2 blade and 4 blade head new in the package that I am going to sell but keeping all the 150 grain Stingers.

Got a new bow yesterday evening, make finish some new arrows to match the bow with 125 grs point some weeks ago. Tune it and shoot a little to day. Put on a good old 125 grs two blade magnus and hammer the center of the broadhead deer from 10 to 35 yards. Ready for hunting no BS :)

Was having trouble tuning broadheads on my first ILF bow recently. I couldn't get my old Grizzly heads to fly. I bought some Woodsman heads of lighter weight and they were like wounded ducks out of the bow. I had tuned the bow and arrows with 125 grain field points. I needed to find a solid 125 BH.
Upon advice from that thread I made 2 purchases. One was a real spin tester (I used a shoebox before). The other was a pack of Stinger 125s. Every one of the woodsman heads I was having problems tuning wobbled like me on a Saturday night. The stingers not only spun perfectly, they grouped as well as field points at 25 yards. My old Grizzly heads wobbled a bit also from run-ins with missed targets and animals over the years.
Ended up the problems I was having tuning broadheads WAS the broadheads I was tuning. Until I bought the Stingers.
I like the replaceable blades idea. 12 bucks for a 3 pack if you ding them up. I like too that they are stainless. No more rusty heads after a rainy hunt. That was my pet peeve on Grizzly (which I still love). If they bust bone and pour blood like everyone says I'm gonna replace those 150 Grizzlys that wouldn't spin anymore with Stingers also.

I like the stingers but have went back to the old reliable 2 blade magnus II 125gr and 140gr none vent. I think they may still be the better of the two rms gear still cares this head.

I use the 4 blade Stinger 125 which I sharpen and then hone with diamond stones until they are sticky sharp. I give them a touch up with the hone throughout the season because of sliding in the quiver foam.
I spin test every arrow and broadhead combo. They are straight and true. I weigh each broadhead. They are consistent.
The performance is the best I have seen from a broadhead. They are rugged and do not come apart losing blades in an animal. Good pass throughs. The blood trails begin where the deer was standing and are extreme. The deer usually drop within sight within 2-3 seconds. After a shot, I clean them with hot water and a toothbrush, resharpen and hone, then back in the quiver.
I have confidence that the Stinger will di the job on any deer that I shoot. And - I have never had one fail to open or expand!

No problems with the 125 grain 4 blade stinger and have used them on Moose, Caribou, Wolf, Lynx, Whitetail Deer & Turkey with deadly results. Moose only took a dozen or fifteen steps before tipping over!
