My hunting partner Chris Hill took this doe a couple weeks ago using a 125gr. 2 blade Stinger. It was an 8 yard pass thru heart shot with the animal going 50 yards with good blood trail. Bow is a 57# DAS with total arrow weight about 450 gr.

Stinger 125 grain 2 blade. Broadside pass through.

 

Stinger 125 4 blade front-to-back pass through
 

Shot a second Javie, broadside pass through (no pic).

I've started using the 150s to increase my FOC a bit and that's what I had for my elk hunt. Very confident in their penetration cababilities.

My latest Stinger victim although I have to say the arrow only had 3 yds to travel.

I just got some 125 grain Stinger Buzzcuts 2 blade heads and put them on some GT 3555 and they fly fantastic, these are my light arrows 557 grain arrow weight to shoot out my 63# lonbow to compare them to my 400 grain front loaded carbon with total arrow weight of exactly 12 grains per pound. I'll post pics as soon as something offers a shot and I make it.

I used Stingers last year on carbons and killed 2 hogs and 2 deer. One deer I spined from a tree stand dropping it on the spot. The blade was only bent a tiny bit.

i really like the stingers they are great in a lot of ways but this spring a shot a bear and the main blad bent very bad complete pass through, but the arrow was stuck in the groung and i think the bear bent the broad head when he ran. then this fall i shot a mature whitetail buck. broadside doublelung complete pass through broke a rib going in and out and the main blade was bent up pretty bad. my concern is what is going to happen when i hit a solid bone. the stingers fly great and are super sharp. hate to quit using them also i am using the 150 grain 4 blade stinger.

     A picture, well you know

[doug77]

what's up how come i have had trouble with deer rib's and Tater shoot's his into steel with no problem's. when i switched to traditional about 2 years age i trind 6 or 7 different broadheads and the magnus stinger was the best broadhead for my set up.

Doug,
      I don't know what your set up is but Deer ribs are not that tough, most quality cut on contact broadheads shot from a bow of reasonable poundage with properly tuned arrows should shoot through Deer ribs no problem.
      A friend of mine actually shot this shovel and I retrieved this picture from an earlier thread. Set up if I remember correctly was 61# Widow Recurve with 600 gr arrow.

i am only shooting 49#. this sure does bother me.

[Tater]

49# is plenty for Whitetails. What is your arrow weight?

[Benny Nganabbarru]

I've just started shooting some of these; I'll report back in a month or so when I've hunted WA's feral goats!

[doug77]

total  580 grain CX heratige 150

With that arrow weight and a properly tuned arrow/bow and keeping shots to a reasonable distance and angle you should't be having penetration problems. Each shot at an animal is different angle, distance, if the animal moves it's hard to diagnose unless you can see the shot. I think your set up is fine.

[doug77]

tater don't have peneration problems the main blades bent bad on a complete pass thru once on a bear and then this fall on a whitetail.  doug77

Doug,
      Maybe send them back to Magnus with a note as to the problem you have had, I know several guys who have killed Elk with those heads both Traditional and Compound with no problems.

[2 dogs]

magnus will replace them if damaged no problem,i have killed 33 deer with them only ever damaged one on a spine shot and they replaced it.great service at magnus.the way i look at it the head killed the deer anddid its job what more can you ask for.
