160gr STOS Input

[DesertDude]

Looking for input/results on the 160gr STOS broadhead.  

Thanks  Mark

Sharpen easily, hold a good edge, very durable, fly quiet and tune well. That about covers it.

That's what I have seen also Dave,  I just haven't taken any game with it.....

[Benny Nganabbarru]

What Dave said. I've taken plenty of game with them.

[Benny Nganabbarru]

Also, look on the STOS website, and you'll see plenty of pictures of game taken around the world with STOS broadheads and traditional bows.

[DesertDude]

Thanks They fly perfect for me and I get them super sharp....Like any thing just needed a little reinforcement.......

[coaltroll]

I agree with the others. My go to BH. Dropped a few elk and a couple of mule deer with those things. They fly really well. Tuned to the point that I cant tell the difference with the way they fly and the field points. The last 2 elk didnt go but about 25 yds after I put a STOS 160 through them.

[Cherokee Scout]

That is all I use now, very good head.

[lone hunter]

I agree with all of the above. Have used them on everything from cats to bears with elk included. The newer heads seem to be thicker tipped and don't need to be clipped. Had one older head curl on me when hitting bone. The STOS seem to carry better, for me, on the longer shot.

I like them as well.  Only killed one elk with them so far, but the head did a heck of a job.  I do tanto the tip ever so slightly, just enough to take off the needle point.

[JimB]

Definitely a quality head.I set some up recently and was surprised that when I put them on my spinning jig,all the tips spun true without any tweeking.The ferrules seem to be very precise and fit the adaptors perfectly.That's a big deal to me.

[Pinecone]

Excellent BH.  They sharpen easily, fly well, and are very durable.

Thanks all for your inputs, I'm off to hunt pigs with Curtis in April.

They as mentioned above sharpen well, fly true and quiet, and have zipped right on through the critters I have shot with them.

I have one head that has taken 3 deer and is fine to use again.

Ditto to all of the above.  I have taken three deer with STOS.  Excellent results.

I use a BH adaptor for a total weight of 200g.  My total arrow weight is 550g out of a 45# bow.  Devastating on whitetail.

I really like the Stos. Every deer I've taken with them has pass throughs like they were made of paper except this one,, Frank

 

 

 

[Benny Nganabbarru]

I hit this boar on his shoulder blade, which split, and the arrow got stuck in an off-side rib, so that it was difficult to pull out. The broadhead was still in perfect working order.

Great broadheads. You can get them scary sharp, easy to tune and fly great. It is the only broadhead I have used the last couple of years.

[DesertDude]

Thank you all for taking the time to pass along you inputs. Just ordered 2dz.....
