Stos Broadheads
« on: August 21, 2014, 05:57:00 AM »
I have never used these but read a little about them and they seem to get good reviews. I am just looking for more opinions on how they sharpen, fly and how they do on big game. I am going to be hunting BIG Whitetails in Alberta this fall (Possible 300lb deer) and I am considering using these heads. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

These are great heads. They are easy to sharpen and fly great. I have taken alot of deer with them. I like the 160 gr. head.

I,ve killed 4 bucks the past two years with them and all 4 fell within 40 yards or less of the shot. Great head and easy to get razor sharpe.

That's all that I have been shooting the last couple years. Easy to sharpen and great arrow flight.

The only thing I shot was a armadillo and it blew right through with a 48lb bow (not sure how tough dillos  are)  but the thing that facinated me about STOS is how sharp they get,,,, they are the sharpest broadhead I have ever personally sharpened and like all small ratio broadheads they fly like a field point,,,,even if the spine is off they still flew good I was amazed!

I killed some moose and some caribou with them. I really like Stos although I don't use them exclusively.

I wish they came a little heavier than 160 grains.

I have used them for the past 10 years or so. They have worked great.  Plan to use them this year on elk, bear and deer.

Just shaved my arm with the STOS I used in turkey season and last sharpened in April.

I shot a 150 lb does a few years with a 145 grain stos and a 75 grain adapter on a full length 2117, hit her square in the shoulder at 22 yards, got 13" of penetration...

They are no good for broadhead tuning...you need something that does not fly as easy.

The EASIEST broadhead to sharpen,period ! They fly good, the steel is a little softer than some.
