I usually shoot 2 blade Magnus Stinger but was thinking about trying 85gr. 3 blade Snuffers. Do you think I would get good enough penetration with these out of a 35# bow versus the 2 blade Stingers? Thanks! Nimrod

I would normally say yes, with a normal weight broadhead. That's a pretty light head, which makes the arrow flex more at impact impeding penetration. How much? Don't have a clue and I'm not going to find out, even though I'm shooting 35 pounds (285 grain tip).

With 35 # bow and a 85 gr three balde head, I'd say stick to the two blade. Remember, light weight bullets, arrows slow down fast when they hit a target. Penetration is the key, not sure how deep you'll get with that set up.

I might try to get good flight with a 125 grain head also. I should be able to make it work. With the 2 bulging disks in my neck I'm really limited on the bow I can use. 35-38# is the max I'm comfortable with. Above that draw weight it really aggravates my injury.........Nimrod

JMHO but I would trust the 2 blade more than the 3 blade out of a lighter poundage bow. My opinion is based more on the angle of cutting edge more than anything else. If I needed to drop the weight of my broadhead to get good arrow tune/flight, I would try to find a lighter weight 2 blade. I think Magnus used to make a 100gr 2 blade, not sure if I hey still do or not.

I would definitely go with a two blade. You could definitely find some 125 two blades. My daughter shot through a deer with her 30# Elkhart 600 spine Easton epic 150 grain bear razor head. Good luck with your injury. Had my neck fixed three years ago. I definitely have sympathy for you. Terrible pain when trying to shoot. God bless good luck.

Try building up to a heavier draw if you can.

Between the 2 you mentioned I’d go with the stingers.

What is your draw length? If 28” or so you have plenty of draw weight. If you are set on a three blade, which I prefer as well, I suggest one with lower profile. Original Wensel Woodsmans would work. I’m shooting 175 grain VPA’s out of a similar set up. The lower weight VPA’s,100, 125, and 150’s have a wider profile which, IMO won’t penetrate as well.

I have killed two bull elk with my compound using those but for my recurve I will use Stingers.

If you feel the need for lighter weight broadheads it looks like you could till find Magus Stingers in 85gr & 100 gr.

At that poundage set up my guess would be stay with the Stingers . I’m a huge Magnus fan and have used the stingers for years. This is just my opinion but if I was interested in switching to the snuffer SS I would buy a pack of them or find someone to buy one off of and do a penetration test on my target with it . Shoot the Stinger than the Snuffer SS multiple times and see how they compare. Than make your decision. Best of luck !

I don't know what you decided to use, but I just blew a 125g SS Snuffer through the 2nd deer in the past week. The first was a pass through that put it deep into a tree. After I cut it out of the tree, it was still in perfect condition. The 2nd broadhead went completely through the deer, bounced off a frozen rock, and then buried itself deeply into a tree. This one did break. Mike Sohm sent a replacement immediately...and a congrats on the deer. You can't beat him or his product.

Please enlighten me; how does a light head cause an arrow to flex more at impact???

If you have say a 30 inch arrow and flex it by the tips it will flex the most in the middle at 15 inches. The foc is the middle As you move the weight towards one end, that arrow won't flex in the middle anymore. It will flex like maybe a 25 inch arrow. It's like taking that 30 inch arrow and holding it at the nock end and 5 inches from the broadhead, the flex. It'll be stiffer.

Bowmania:
The arrow is pushed from the rear end, and flexes due to the lateral push caused by the string rolling off the fingers at relaese
At IMPACT 99% of the arrows oscillation's have stopped and any further flexing of the shaft will be determined by the spine i.e. a lighter spine will flex more than a stiffer spine. Caused by impact.

Bob, watch this and then tell me that 99% of the oscillations have stopped. It almost looks like it flex more at impact than release. I'm sure it's camera angle.

That flex at impact hampers penetration and just like you say, " a lighter spine will flex more than a stiffer spine".
