I'll be using them this year too. I hope I have a picture to post this year! I bought a Gatco sharpening kit with a ceramic finishing stone. I toughed them up and they are shaving sharp now!

2 blade, 125 grain Stinger


4 blade 125 grain

 
4 blade 150 grain Stinger (now my go-to BH).

Other hogs and javelina using them. I like them all EXCEPT the 150 grain two blade. The ferrule is way to stumpy and looks like it would impede penetration.

I'm right there with ya Dennis, are you using two or four blade? Thanks Norbert! That is an awesome bull elk. Any noticeable difference in penetration/blood between the two and four blade?

I've killed 7 or 8 whitetails with both 2&4 blades and had pass-throughs on all except a doe when the 2 blade hit and broke the far shoulder blade.Only shoot 4 blades now,though,as I tend to get better blood trails from them.

Tristan,

I couldn't decide between two or four blade, so I bought both and as shooting both. I love seeing all these great game photos though! Congrats to all!

In short I think they are great heads. Most all of these were four blades. One elk with a two blade and one pronghorn with a four blade buzzcut.

Used them the last three seasons with wheels before making the switch to trad. Loved them then, and finally found a set up that works for them now. Be using them this season for sure!  Congrats to everyone, and keep those awesome pics coming.
Plant a fruit or nut tree today, and have good hunting tomorrow.

I have killed a few animals with stingers, I used a 125 grain 2 blade on my spike elk this year. The broadhead fractured a rib length wise going in and buried into the offside rib for a double lung shot.

 

I used a 150 grain 4 blade buzzcut for this buck a couple years ago. They are awesome broadheads. I shanked the shot on this mule deer buck and hit him just under the eye, the broadhead penetrated into his spine. The broadhead didn't show any damage and was still shaving sharp.

Here is my one and only trad kill, I should of had an elk two weeks ago, but I failed to line up the shot, either that or I pulled it. I used a 125gr 4blade buzzcut.


I had great impact splatter, but had a very sparse bloodtrail, but as it was in the snow, it was really easy to follow, the doe made it a couple of hundred yards, but I think that had a lot to do with the terrain and the lack of a hiding spot to layup in. I truly believe that the sparse blood trail had to do with the thick layer of fat she was sporting all around her trunk. I hit her high in the crease on the right and exited aft on the bottom off side due to her turning and ducking into the shot. Really couldn't of asked for better shot placement.
Just for reference, the shaft is a full length 32" and it penetrated way into frozen ground.

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!

I hit a doe with a very poor placed shot a few years ago (sounds weird since I'm 20) with a stinger and she left a blood trail anyone could follow. November 2011 I somehow managed to graze a 145" 9pt at 15 yards (he skylined me in a tree, ducked at the shot, turned uphill, then back down hill) i believe the only thing i did was cut hide. I did kill an 8pt with a magnus stinger October of 2010 (can't post picture, wheelie kill) and it blew through him so fast that he took a couple steps and just laid down underneath my treestand. They are a great broadhead and I'll have them riding the front of my arrows for years to come.

I shot the 2 blade stingers for a while, Now I use 3 blades (Woodsman, NAP Hellrazor, G5 Montec)as I was less than impressed with the blood sign the magnus left. I have a few 4 blade Buzz cuts, maybe I'll give them a day in court and see what for
