I'm about to try a few (they're on their way). I did enjoy the normal 125-grain screw-in Snuffer.

They're my favorite heads.  I'm a little bias-- Magnus is a Kansas-grown co.

I'm not a fan of big heads or two-blade.  The SS is a great compromise-- three blades for good blood trails and low profile for good penetration.  They're sharp out of the package, easy to resharpen (I use automotive wet-dry sandpaper in multiple grits and a leather strop), and tough.  Best of all, they have a lifetime replacement guarentee.

This setup is a 45# Falcon, GT 3555 with 50 gr brass insert, and 125 Snuffer SS.  I'm switching to 100 gr inserts and a 46# High Sierra.

Thanks for the compliment.  
Yeah, your setup is real close of mine.  I just tuned my High Sierra last night-- arrows came out around 10.6 gr/lb.  You won't be disappointed with the SS.  I've sent one back to Magnus with a rolled point and had a new head in less than a week.  If you send them trophy photos, they'll send you a hat or t-shirt!

What are the differences between it and the WW.  I'll have to go look at-em I s'pose. Sounds like something I might like.

Manolito...love that buck Brother. And that smile. Congrats.

The SnufferSS is my goto head. I've taken elk with the Woodsmans & SnufferSS in 125grn with 50grn adapters. The SnufferSS is my preference with the woodsman in 2nd.
  Nothing out penetrates that 3-blade in the 3-bladed class. This head is a blood producer & that's always a huge plus for us in thick heavy brushed terrain. It's one tough head. I shoot it out of a longbow at 56# at my draw. My arrows have been in the 485grn to 540grn.

They have the same cutting diameter, but the WW is 3" long vs the SS being 1 1/2".  
I smile in ALL my trophy photos.  I don't understand the "serious look" during a moment that proud?!    :goldtooth:

Elknut1, that's a great bull!  Have you got a link to the details?

Bronz, excellent whitetail !!!! By the way, I never smile in any photos, don't know why just never have! (grin) Here's another a few years back, no smile! (grin)

  Bullfrog- That particular bow is a 60# BearsPaw by Neil Jacobsen in MT

  Babaloo-- No, that was an ID Bull from 3 years back, 26 yard shot, snufferss, drove the shaft to the feathers quartering away. 150 yard death run.
