Stinger vs Buzzcut

[Yohon]

I use both and prefer the buzzcut and the 4 blade. I think magnus made the perfect size bleeder for that head. Its been 5+ years now that I started using a KME and the buzzcuts. About that time I started to noticed a definite increase in the amount of blood on the ground and distances critters traveled had shrunk. Not sure if its the KME gettin things really, REALLY sharp or the serrations making a difference but I aint changin a thing

I should also ad to my comment that I would use them with all my bows if magnus would make them up to 200grains,,, if magnus made stingers and buzz cuts in 175/200/250 grain it would be the perfect broadhead for me.

I agree. I actually emailed them asking if they could or would make any broadheads in heavier weights, and their reply was "no, the existing market doesn't warrant the investment of  a new product."
Maybe if a bunch of us emailed them requesting a heavier head, that would warrant the investment.

that's what brass inserts are for;)

Goat, you're right. 150grain stingers are available on their website, so with all the configurations of broadhead weights and inserts now available, you should be able to come pretty close the set up you need. It would just be more convieniant if their were more BH weights available.

Yeah, not a one size fit's all decision is it, I like shooting 125gr heads because there are soooo many out there so I try to tune for total 225 up front with a 100gr insert and 125gr head, so I can shoot bullheads, stingers etc...

I live 10 blocks straight north of there, those inserts will come out, you just have to be reaaaallllll careful, best method I've found is get biggest fieldtip you can find, I use 225gr, heat them slowly with propane welding torch like you use for sweating pipes, apply a little heat, and try turning with pliers, apply a little more heat, then try turning with pliers, the super glue will give eventually, only arrow I've had bad luck doing this with is the Kevlar arrows and it can be done with those, but it's a lot easier to cross that threshold of too much heat. Then once you have them out, put the new ones in with hot glue.
