STOS

[Sean B]

What's your experience with STOS heads?i have half a dozen, I found them easy to sharpen, just haven't hunted with them yet.

[Ryman Cat]

Great head I use them and they are easy to sharpen. I recently bought some 160's haven't tested them on arrows yet though.

[Terry Green]

I have some....but never killed anything with them as I'm a die hard multiblade shooter....but they are bomb proof let me tell ya....

[meathead]

They are an awful good head. I have killed several deer, turkey and bears with them.

Very good head.  Easy to get very sharp with tru angle hones.  Not the only head I use; killed an elk and one deer with160 grain STOS.

Thanks guys, that's what I was hoping to hear.  Won a pack at the BS banquet.  I want to use them this season and hopefully use them on a blacktail on Kodiak Island in October.

I have used them for one bear, one deer.
I thought they performed well. Complete pass through on the bear with a 53 lb. Blacktail recurve. Complete pass through on the buck with a 50 lb Liberty Chief.

I used a file to sharpen them, no problem at all.

160 grn in both instances.

[YORNOC]

My favorite head. Tough as nails.

[fishone]

I've shot a lot of deer with them. They are easy to sharpen and easy to tune.

Great, my confidence is building!!

[Gooserbat]

Good head.  I've killed with them.

[Stumpkiller]

One of my favorites.  I have taken five whitetail with STOS heads and have no complaints.  One head accounted for two deer.

Easy to sharpen and very rugged.  I switched to STOS when RibTek became unobtainable.

Curled the tip on a rib with a young Bull Moose. Got another shot and hit shoulder blade. It curled too. He tipped over soon after. Just glad it wash't a big one. Both were bevel tanto style tip I shaped.

Hey Sean. I only shot one deer with them. It was my first and only deer with a bow.  I hit the spine with a 45 lb bow and it penetrated completely.  As others said, very easy to sharpen.
I wish I was going with you to Kodak.  That trip looks to be a good one.

[mec lineman]

Easy to sharpen,a tad soft. Doesnt think with whitetails it matters though.

[Biggamefish]

S.T.O.S. I was told it means Slicker Than Owl SH#@.

[Russ Clagett]

I started with STOS and accidentally missed my target once...the arrow went past the target and shot thru my burn barrel....my metal burn barrel.

It went thru the first side and was sticking out the back of the back side....

No tip damage.

[lone hunter]

Shot four elk, a bear, 3 deer and two turkeys with them. Sliced ribs going in and coming out on last bull. Only carry STOS and VPA 3-blade. No complaints.

[Missouri Sherpa]

I have killed several elk, hogs and deer with STOS heads.   I liked them enough I bought a few dozen of them, probably a lifetime supply for me.  Don't plan to change anytime soon.
