I've used them back in my "wheelie" days.
Then with my original 62# recurve and still with my 53# longbow.
they are GREAT heads. Easy to replace or re-sharpen the blades. Fly true. Have taken multiple deer, a turkey, and coyote with them. I love the diamond tip: it will split ribs and even a leg bone on the far side and still be useable.

PLUS: they are WAY less $$ than some of the other broadheads...I mean, $50-100 dollars for 3 broadheads?!?!?! Crazy!

I had one to fail when I hit a large bull elk in the shoulder bone. It was not the BHs fault, it was my shot that was the problem.

That said, Magnus replaced the 2 blade Stinger with a 4 blade buzzcut (no charge). That will probably be my elk BH this year.

Well made, easy to sharpen and a lifetime warranty that cannot be beat!

Sounds right on!  :thumbsup:

My go-to head.  Readily available and sharp out of the package.  I have no reason to mess with anything else.

I've tried different heads, but always seem to come back to my stingers! The price is right, American made, shaving sharp out of the package, easy to re-sharpen, they fly quiet and true, great customer service, and the best guarantee in the business.

I started using them years ago with wheels. I was happy with the flight and the blood trails they left. Being a COC, they were a no brainer when I switched to trad.

A few years ago, I was hunting on the ground, and the rut was heating up. A nice 5pt chased a doe right to me. He wasn't leaving her sight. Even after I shot right underneath him. As I prepared for another shot, the huge doe stepped out for a gimme pass thru. Well, I knew that buck wasn't going far, and I only had one broadhead left. So I retrieved the arrow from the doe out of the dirt, and with only a few strokes on my pocket stone, it was spinning true and shaving hair. I spooked that buck standing 10 yards from my dead doe.

I also once sent in 9 broadheads that I had accumulated over the years that were either bent, broken, chipped, or otherwise unsharpenable from misses, hitting gravel, or prying out of trees. I received 9 brand new heads in replacement, no questions asked, and it cost me less than $5 to ship them. You can't beat that!
Plant a fruit or nut tree today, and have good hunting tomorrow.

Anyone try the Stinger "Killer Bees" yet? I like mine, 125gr 2 blade. Same great broadhead in a non-vented model.

I've had great results with my 125 screw in 2-blades.  This year I am going to try a new head to see what a 3-blade single bevel will do.

I did. I found them flimsier than the regular. No offense, but they just seemed "cheaper."  I like regular stingers and buzzcuts, though.
