I like to try new stuff from time to time.I was looking at trying some new two blades.One that has caught my attention is the Stos and the other is the eclipse.I might add,that I am fond of magnus and zwickey heads.Any imput on the Stos or the Eclipse? the eclipse has a teflon coating and somewhat of radiused edge. Thanks CRAIG

Craig, I shoot the Eclipse broadheads and they are great heads and for me are real easy to sharpen.

Eclipse = good. I shoot Zwickey Eskimo's and love them, too.

Another vote for Eclipse. I would have to say though that I shoot the 145gr 4 blade. Awesome head and kills big hogs and Bison dead!

If you are into trying new heads I invite you to try these before next season. They are currently in the works and will be available soon.

images no wider than 640, please

That being said, I've shot both STOS and Eclipse and have met the fellas at Eclipse and you couldn't go wrong with either.

WOW that was quick! Thanks for your reply.Does that radiused edge make it more difficult to sharpen?

Haven't tried the Eclipse. The Stos, last I knew, was made for Todd Martin by Magnus. It is of equal quality to the Magnus heads. I favor the Stos design slightly.

I don't think you could go wrong with any of the three - Eclipse, Stos or Magnus.

STAN is that a single bevel?

StanM · « **Reply #8 on:** February 16, 2011, 10:21:00 PM »

Yessir, single bevel. The rendering is of the 100 grain, but we have 125 and 150 grain heads in the works as well.

The STOS is a high quality head.Good steel and the ferrule is precise.The ones I have mounted on adapters needed no tweaking to get them to spin true.I find that rare and a big consideration in choosing a broadhead.

Stan that is a great looking head!!

legends1 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 16, 2011, 10:31:00 PM »

I shoot MagnusII,but have shot both Zwickeys and Eclipe.Like them all. You wouldnt go wrong with any of them.As far as Stos, never tried them.

Shedrock · « **Reply #12 on:** February 16, 2011, 10:38:00 PM »

Both are great heads, but I favor the STOS.

My 2117s and my 2114s are tipped with STOS broadheads when I go bowhunting. They're strong, the tips don't curl, they fly great and they're easy to sharpen.

Both the Eclipse and STOS heads are excellent heads with loyal followings for good reason. I like the teflon coating on the Eclipse, and they are super tough, but you won't find an easier head to sharpen than a STOS. Todd at STOS has also taken over the production from Magnus, so they'll now be made in Texas.

It's a win-win IMO.

I shoot the STOS 160's. Best flying broadhead I have shot. Great construction and easy to sharpen.

Outstanding. I was worried when Mike Sohm announced the glue-on line was for sale. I really can't decided whether I like the Stos or the MA125 better. So I keep some of both on hand. It is a great thing to have excellent options.

Some of the old ones still work well. Sorry couldn't resist
