Another great video Troy. Been shooting the Magnus Broadheads for a few years and never had an issue. Not only will I strop them when I take them out of the package, but when I'm hunting, I'll be sure to strop them a few times to keep that edge crazy sharp.
I shot an Elk last year with the black hornet ser razor. Great results! I sent Mike from Magnus a picture and he couldn't have been nicer. Sent me a hat and even asked if my broadhead was ok. I'm a magnus fan for life!
when i went searching for broadheads, the plethora of consistent positive reviews for the stingers made the decision on which to use next fall easy as pie.. the first thing i noticed when i bought them was they weren't very sharp - so i took to youtube and my first vid is this one... thanx brother...
Troy Thank-You for showing us how to sharpen these blades. I took the time and sharpened mine like you have showed us. Where I live, I get 1 deer a year. I shot my deer just infront of the 2nd to last rib and it came out at the bottom of the hind quarter. deer went 250 yards and just fell over. would have never have done that with factory sharpness. Keep up the great videos......PJ
That'd be a #1 Philips screw driver for the screw. The individual serrations can be sharpened also......with a string (stretched between 2 nails in a block of wood) coated with buffing compound. Just be sure when the string is pulled through it's pulled away from the ferrule and on the deepest side of the serration. Sharpen the serrations FIRST then the main blade.
Okay so I am probably not the only Jazz guitarist who hunts . Here’s some good news! Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear sells broad heads and offers excellent sharpening services! Now you can kill deer in the morning and keep all of your fingers to play some Frank Sinatra in the evening!
Another good video if people would just listen just a little bit they just might possibly learn something from the video that you are getting out there keep them coming.
Too Good! Have 4 Magnus on my desk with dings and nicks, all under warrantee, but all memories of great hunts. :-) They stayin with me! I once cut a CX arrow in half, right in the middle, weight forward? Not a Bit. My Cheeks hurt!
Love your T-shirt very funny. I don’t understand why people think what you’re trying to teach us about high FOC is crazy. But agree with Dr. Ashby findings. It’s all the same stuff. This year my wife and I will be shooting high FOC arrows. Hers are about 730-740 grains Mine are about 715 grains. Look out hogs here we come. Lol
I have 300 spine Apollos I’m shooting 300 up front and I’m using 150 grain stingers and kudus! When deer season comes I will have to send you pics of the results! It’s my first year shooting a 4 fletched arrow and so far I really like them
Absolutely the jig. To get pro results by hand, requires a 6th dan black belt in sharpening. You CAN do it by hand, but it is so much easier and precise with the jig.
Exactly, you almost have to look at it like they expect you to personally hand sharpen them. Could you imagine how expensive broadheads would be if they hand sharpened everything lol. I think of it as shot protection, I feel so much less pressure because I know if I miss my mark, at the very least that sucker is going to cut and give me the best chance at a kill shot. Do you have any tips on sharpening replacement blade broadheads, say like a QAD Exodus or is it pretty much the same thing?
I too have had great success with the MAGNUS Black Hornet serrated blades. Shooting them out of my Barnett Raptor FX, they go through hogs like a hot knife through butter! That said, I've never sharpened, them, just always use a new blade. Is your stropping device hand made using a piece of leather? The barbers used to use a leather strop to put the final edge on their straight razors. Good video Troy!
I'm so sick of guys saying "smash that like button!" I love when you say you don't care, or "send me hate mail." Haha Also alot of great info here and entertaining too. Thanks
Shot a deer with the 4 blade model. They fly well. Experimenting with the Ozcut Chinese knock offs. Can get them reasonably sharp, but takes some work. Not sure if they are all tempered the same. Some of these stainless steel broadheads seem to be harder steel than others and more difficult to sharpen. They are the best flying, traditional style, cut on contact broadheads I have ever shot. They have the same cutting width as as Zwicky Eskimo. 150 grains, monolithic. We shall see.
Hey brother... been binging on your videos lately... was just wondering since you started endorsing 3 blade... did you not like the wensel woodsman broadheads or not know they existed ?.... I shoot a 685 gr gold tip with 150gr 2 blade buzzcut... all based on your videos... out of a 60# blackwidow recure... Thanks
@@RanchFairy looking to buy magnus stinger for this deer season .. I am undecided on going with regular stinger or stinger buzz cut what's your opinion on them ??
Just bought 2 pks of black hornet and every single main blade looks like 1/16th inch of the cutting surface towards the tip look rolled over... Not the tip but the cutting surface edge near the front. Great broad heads but it's odd how it was all of them
What do you think about the QAD Exodus crossbow broadheads?? I have a Ravin R10. I'm trying to get away from mechanical broadhead. I was shooting NAP Double cross crossbow broadheads and don't like the penetration plus if hit a bone the head stops dead. Like to see if you have a video of shooting the QAD Exodus crossbow broadheads with crossbow if you have one. I'm also looking at getting different bolts because not happy with Ravin's bolts. If you don't like the Exodus what crossbow broadhead would you recommend??
31.5 inch draw with a 70lbs weight. 250 spine victory vap ss with 225 up front including a 150 magnus buzzcut. 4 fletch right helical. We will see what it will do to these kansas bucks this season
I need help on building an arrow set-up for my 50lb longbow. I want zippers through shoulders. If I had to choose between Tuffhead and Iron Will, which could I go less wrong with?
I used these magnus for two years, got reasonable blood trails and was happy with them I guess. Better than exodus. Luckily, I decided to try a grim reaper whitetail special.. I'm so glad I did. Last year the buck I killed was at 31 yards, I was shaking like a leaf and hit dead on liver. We all know what can happen with a liver shot. If I hadn't been using the grim reaper, that would have been the case. The big 3 blade hit gut, liver and thank God, lung also. Them grim reapers leave a hellacious bloodtrail. Goes to show every broadhead has a downfall though, had perfect shot placement on a doe with the grim reaper, but must have caught esophagus because I had gut matter though it was a double lung hit. Guess that's better than having a smaller bloodtrail, and less lethality on the animal though. BTW, have yet to not have a full pass through with the grim reapers. And I only shoot a 27.5" draw length and a 53 pound draw weight.
Have shot the grim reapers for years, had the same results until I caught a buck in the scapula and did not get good penetration.. switching to the magnus for this upcoming season
Rory-thanks for using our magnus broadheads. If you look at Troys blood trails video it will show you exactly what happens sometimes with blood trails. Shot placement still is the biggest factory on blood trails from all broadheads
My tip: Don't buy them. Their quality control has gone into the toilet! Bevels are not even, the edges are chattered and just TRY to get that screw out... I had an issue with a couple of heads and had to jump through more Fing hoops than a circus dog. F them!
Were you using the proper sized screw driver? I had to buy a particular set of smaller drivers from an auto store to find a good fit for their screws...I've never had a problem, I think this is my 7th ish season of them. (two blade 150 grain)
@@MagnusBroadheads Yeah, I was surprised to hear something might have changed. Not surprised to hear from you that it hasn't changed! I have no plans to change the broadhead I'm shooting.
