I have shot them both and perfer the stinger simply because it is easier for me to resharpen.   I have two go to broadheads that I turn to for really big animals where extreme penetration is needed.  The stinger is one of them.

I will carry both in my quiver but really prefer the Buzzcut. I can't say why, just do. Having said that, I'll just as readily put a Stinger on the string and achieve great results.

I used both with great arrow flight and blood trails . I like both so its a win either way and I have to say I think they are the best screw on broad head there is .

I shoot both.  I prefer the buzz cuts, for no other reason than I like the looks of them.  Both are easy to sharpen with a KME.  I like the life time warranty to.

I use the buzz cuts for the same reason as ESP. Just like the looks and have had great success with them. Have some stingers also and won't hesitate to use them also. Get great flight with both.

They fly the same, the owner of the company that makes them prefers the buzzcut for his own needs and is what he recommends for lower power setups. The grooves don't need any special sharpening they are almost like mini single bevel sections and get sharpened at the same time the regular part of the blade get sharpened. They aren't like serrations on a pocket knife. Take your pick, when I shot them I picked the buzzcut!

I've shot both.  If you have a KME, Lansky, or Gatco sharpening system, I'd say it's about 6 one way, 1/2 dozen the other.  

I love them simply because I feel like I always get phenomenal arrow flight with either.  I seen them fly great out of a lot of different bow setups!

I do like the looks of the buzzcuts better.
