Thank you for your video. One thing which is not correct is we donot require a bowhunter send in the broadhead for replacement, all a bowhunter needs to do is take a picture of the damaged broadhead and email to us with your name and address and we replace. We would also disagree with you that the chisel serration is a con, the chisel serration penetrates like our regular broadheads but cuts alot more. we have tested this over hundreds upon hundreds of tests. Thanks
Thanks for the clarification! The serrations are not a con - I simply don’t have the patience for sharpening them. Definitely agree that they do a great job and highly recommend Magnus broadheads! Thanks for watching!
I have the stingers and stinger buzzcut. Both of mine are 150gr and are the same size. They also are supposed to be the same size according to their website too , that's odd that your bizzcut appears smaller in this video
As it turned out, the buzzcuts I showed in the video are actually the 85 grain model, and the stingers are 100 grain. I had never really noticed the size difference until shooting the video. At any rate, they’ll both do the work!
@aydendowdall7336 yes I’m sure they sell replacement blades. However, that’s an additional cost where sharpening only costs time and energy. Plus, blades really need sharpened out of the package most of the time anyway. I’ve done a video in the past of how I sharpen my blades using the Stay Sharp guide, and it works great - th-cam.com/video/Xz_PXFpbCfE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gXliXqXnsNjyAvSC
Ya gotta try the Magnus black hornet ser razor or the straight. I used the ser razor this year and was impressed with the entrance/exit and wound channel and blood on the ground even on a higher hit.
I have shot many deer with the broadheads you reviewed with similar results, however the QAD's in the back ground are the best I've found to date. I shot 9 does with the QAD's last fall (I'm on a city doe management hunt) and the short blood trails were unbelievable. Most of the deer dropped within sight, three within 20 yds. Hope you try them this year.
That’s great to hear because those are the ones I’m shooting this year! 🤣 I have them sharp and in the quiver ready to go. I’ve been eye balling them for a few years and then my local bow tech was telling me how great they are and how he shot through a doe quartering to him at 40 yards and she didn’t go far, great blood trail, so I’m looking forward to them! Thanks for watching and the comment!
Not sold on the Rage broadhead, I’ve shot three deer, I’ve always been able to find them, but they went way to far ! No penetration , I shoot 55 pounds, probably why , I think they broke when they hit the ribs, not sure? went back to cut on contact
I’m similar to you as far as draw weight and maybe draw length. For a normal mechanical, I think you really need to be shooting a minimum of 60 pounds and 28 inch plus draw length for best penetration chances. I had one pass through that I can think of with the Rage SS in this video. Those were small cutting diameter and designed for lower KE shooters though. Cut on contact heads will definitely do better for penetration in any setup. Thanks for watching!
I just go off of whatever guide is made for specific blades. I think there’s only a few different ones for different angles or bevels. The black one is what I used for the Rage blades and the gray one I believe I used for the Magnus ones. I hope that helps some.
I'm 5 shots in and 5 deer recovered with magnus heads. The 4 blade buzzcut makes quick work of them. Shortest recovery was 8 yards and the longest was 92.
Those Magnus heads are great! I was telling someone the other day, when I switch again, I’m going to try the black hornet because I’ve only ever heard and seen great things about it, and it would be great for my setup. Thanks for watching!
Killed my buck with the magnus stinger. Didn’t get the buzz cuts because I like the smooth edge of the normal stinger. 44yds, full pass through, 70lb bow with 440g arrow
Honestly, either of those Magnus ones would likely do well out of a 40 lb setup. It also would depend on draw length to know how much kinetic energy the bow is shooting, but if you had a proper arrow weight and everything, either of those Magnus heads would do great, I’d expect.
My wife uses the Stinger Buzzcut 4 blade and shoots 46lbs. She shot a goat in Hawaii in May 2023 and adjusted a little much for the wind. Entered the center of the back left leg and exited just in front of the right shoulder and the arrow was 10 feet in front of where the goat was. The shot was 37 yards.
Have used a 150gr Stinger (w/o bleeders) on all my archery deer so far. I only sharpen the main cutting edge with the Stay Sharp which does not have the right angle in my opinion but gets the job done. For $50 I think it's about as good as it gets.
Yep, also there is no one broadhead that’s best! Some give more margin for error some give you better penetration ! The reality is shot placement and angles and distance all determine how a “specific” broadhead will perform ! If you hunt long enough any broadhead of any type will fail you due to the users shot placement period!
I saw your comment about the sharpmaker, so I said hey ,I broke out the sharpmaker and a couple used stingers. A few licks on each side, using the black ceramic at 30° and man back to razor sharp. The thing is excellent on my Spyderco's and Benchmades, why not Magnus broadheads. Great suggestion.
@@soonerfabrication4044 I've sharpened so many heads that way. Way more efficient than using a broadhead jig and sandpaper. Thanks for confirming. Happy hunting!
@@farmingforwhitetails I use a 50 lb longbow. Get full penetration with the 4 blade non-serrated ones, and decent trails. Never any damage to the heads.
15:26. That comment about arrow paradox at 8 yards causing penetration issues is wacko. At that distance the arrow stills has huge kinetic energy and almost the highest speed.
Not sure what to tell you. You can read and research the paradox, and that’s what you’ll find. You will still have speed and KE, but if your arrow isn’t stabilized and flying perfectly straight, it can affect penetration. That said, there’s a chance at that time in my archery life, I didn’t have very well tuned arrows. If they weren’t flying perfectly at launch, that would have affected penetration too, but you do need some distance for your arrow to stabilize and fly perfectly straight. I think 15 plus yards is enough distance. I’d prefer that over less than 10 yards for that reason. Thanks for watching.
@@farmingforwhitetails if the paradox is still in effect at 24-25 feet away i would think the arrow is way under spined was my thought. I’ve seen people switch from 100 grain field points to 125 grain broadheads and everything goes haywire instantly. Probably because they were shooting borderline spined shafts to begin with using the 100 grainers.
Tim, the deer I shot at that distance was way back in 2013 when I was still using “cheap” arrows. I’m positive my arrow set up wasn’t nearly maximized for what it could have/should have been. I think for the average bow hunter, they don’t know what they don’t know and may experience the same issues. Good point of discussion and why education is important for all of us while we continually learn and hone our craft! Appreciate the comment!
whitetail are soft, big old feral dog is tougher, use whatever on them, come try them on a sambah deer, bigger then an elk (red deer) sad how many off them you kill have mechanical that don’t penetrate, like us been shot 10 times from incompetence under performance. nothing should go through that

On the website can’t you get replacement blades instead if sharpening the broadhead

I definitely want to use those someday. Everything I’ve seen from them is that they’re a nasty, awesome broadhead! Thanks for watching!
The magnus black hornet ser razor are awesome been using then for 3 seasons now and blood trails are great and most deer don’t make it past 40 yard

Momentum, not KE, is what dictates penetration. Stingers and Buzzcuts are available up to 150 grains as well.
You are correct - I probably got to talking too fast. 😎 thanks for watching!
Looking at getting some of these. I have the stay sharp guide, wondering what angle you sharpen at?
I just go off of whatever guide is made for specific blades. I think there’s only a few different ones for different angles or bevels. The black one is what I used for the Rage blades and the gray one I believe I used for the Magnus ones. I hope that helps some.

Congrats! Thanks for watching!
Any #1 Phillips screwdriver will take out the screw on the Stinger. Great video, thanks! 👍
Thanks for watching!
Can you do a test of which broadhead is best out of a lightweight bow. Like 40lb
Honestly, either of those Magnus ones would likely do well out of a 40 lb setup. It also would depend on draw length to know how much kinetic energy the bow is shooting, but if you had a proper arrow weight and everything, either of those Magnus heads would do great, I’d expect.
We have alot of bowhunters shooting 40 to 50 lbs and they pass thru every animal they hunt.
My wife uses the Stinger Buzzcut 4 blade and shoots 46lbs. She shot a goat in Hawaii in May 2023 and adjusted a little much for the wind. Entered the center of the back left leg and exited just in front of the right shoulder and the arrow was 10 feet in front of where the goat was. The shot was 37 yards.
I've heard they have a really good warranty where they will send you out a new blade if its bent. Good luck
Yes, they do! I’ve actually used the warranty before. Thanks for watching!
Have used a 150gr Stinger (w/o bleeders) on all my archery deer so far. I only sharpen the main cutting edge with the Stay Sharp which does not have the right angle in my opinion but gets the job done. For $50 I think it's about as good as it gets.
I haven’t used the 150gr ones yet, but I’m sure they’re great! Thanks for watching.
You gotta add tape to get your angle

Yes, there’s definitely pros and cons to all of them. Whatever you feel confident with and get good results with, stick with it! Thanks for watching!
They have a 150 also
That’s what I’d seen someone else say - good to know. Thanks for watching!
Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker will sharpen Magnus serrations quite easily
Will have to check it out. Thanks!
@@farmingforwhitetails Best knife sharpener for the money.
I use the Work Sharp belt sharpener for my knives and really like it.
