I like the Grizzley broadheads over the magnus heads because IMHO:

1. Although Grizzleys are more difficult and time consuming to sharpen to a scarey hair popping edge due to the hardness of the steel used to manufacture the Grizzley, once you get them sharp they hold an edge longer and better and do not require as much touching up after putting them in and out of the foam of your quiver. I start off useing a bastard file to get the angle I like and then turn to my KME knife sharpner, then stroped on a piece of leather or a piece of cardboard.

2. The Grizzley broadhead is a much tougher head than the Magnus. I have bent quite a few magnus heads and have even had 2 come apart after hitting something hard. I have yet to bend and or break a Grizzley broadhead.

3. I like the 3:1 ratio of the Grizzleys.

although i haven't used a grizzly that's what i voted for. i have bent a number of magnus II.

Ozy,

An interesting trend has begun to show up in my testing. I can't say why but, it appears that almost any single bevel head will hold it's edge far longer than a double bevel. I posted a while back about Grizzlies and the tough steel when I couldn't dull a sharpened Grizzly by cutting into a solid aluminum block repeatedly. Since then I've tried the same thing with Tuskers, Abowyers, and Steelforce single bevels with similar results. Like I said, can't give you the scientific reason for this but it's a very interesting phenomenon.
