i did some shooting today and have played with various point weights and found the 125 to give me awesome flight like a dart! i went from 200 all the way down and like the 125. with this, what is the best "little" that will still give me a decent cutting width and hole size in that weight? i have some small simmons sharks that appear to be about 1 3/16" wide and may do well, but just wanting to exhaust all possibilities before commiting to a particular one, and i know you guys can help.

I like both Magnus 2 & 4 blade as well as Snuffer all @ 125. Mine are on 100 grain inserts, just keep em scary sharp.

I 2nd the 2 and 4 blade 125 gr screw in Magnus heads. Mine are in the inserts that came with the arrows. Standard size I have used on all of my arrows.

Complete pass through on 1 deer and 3/4 arrow sticking out on the 2nd deer this year.

This is from a 125 gr Magnus 2 blade. She left a good blood trail.

I use the two blade 125 grain screw-on Magnus Stingers on my Easton Legacy aluminum arrows (also use 125 grain glue-on Magnus II's on my POC woodies). They fly great.

I like the 165 gr Zepher No Mercy. Leaves a devastating exit hole and you dont dare shoot at the same dot on your broadhead target. They fly just like field points off my 52 lb recurve.

Yeah, infront of 100gr inserts! I tried some of the old two blade Montecs. I wish they would hurry up and come out with some trad only heads.

I`ve used 125 grain Phantoms as well as 125 3-blade Muzzy screw in heads.I had a 100 grain brass adapter in with them . On 2018`s I did not get the penetration with them that I did with the big 175-225 grain heads. But I don`t shoot a lot of pounds.RC

Another vote for 125 gn magnus stingers.

i am not shooting a lot of arrow weight. they only weigh abot 415 with the 125 gr. points, but fly very good and i think it will be enough for what i need. like i said, i am just trying something. i figured i might as well try it, heck,i have tried everything else within the last month and this is the best flrying set up i have shot yet. i thihk with a sharp--this is where i may have a prob.-sharp, cut on contact 2 blade will do the job as long as i can get one in the 1.25" width, and the little sharks are close, if i can only find blades for them or even more heads. i hear a lot bout the phantoms as well and would love to try the 125 snuffer, if i can ever get the dernd things sharp! i am definatey looking right now, but still want look more into the flight with some help before i decide to go for it. for deer and hogs i think i will have plenty of power for good penetration, or at least i hope so.

Stingers are great,,JB

I have been using the 125 gr two blade stingers as well and had good results. I just bought some 125gr screw in WW from 3 Rivers to try on bear this spring.

Hi All,

When I began hunting, Fred Bear was THE guru, and so I used the 125 grain Bear Razorhead for a fair number of years with good results.

If I were in the market for a 125-grain screw-in head, it'd be the Muzzy Phantom. However, you can change out your RPS inserts with Flight-mate inserts and use 125-grain glue-on heads. The inserts are available from Kustom King for both aluminum and carbon shafts.

+1 for the Magnus Stinger 125's

Benny Nganabbarru · « **Reply #15 on:** February 21, 2009, 04:58:00 PM »

I have used the Magnus Snuffers in the made-up form at that weight with great success on feral goats.

Well, I used to shoot 125s but got tired of wounding elk and either not recovering or having a long chase in the dark. These days almost exclusively I shoot glue-ons with woodies, heaviest I can find ... with one exception: the ABS 315! Weird as it sounded to me, I've proven to myself that, all things considered (that is, we do the necessary tuning work and maybe have to break down and buy some new shafts), the heavier the weight up front, not only the better penetration I get on targets and big game, but also the best groups. Nature just seems to love lots of weight up front! To each his/her own, and so on ...

Muzzy 125 three blade.

Bowhunter4life · « **Reply #18 on:** February 21, 2009, 08:25:00 PM »

Another one for Magnus Stinger 125 4-blade, and the Magnus Snuffer 125 screw-in. Also like the Razorcap 125, and they just came out with a 125 grain screw-in Woodsman...

Many deer with 125grs Snuffers, can't be beat!!!
