Buzzcut vs. Stinger -

Bear1990 · 03-18-2010, 06:16 PM

I'm just starting bow hunting this year and I think I'm going to buy Magnus. I'm not sure whether to get the stingers or the buzzcuts.

well in my opinion 125 grain stingers do lots of damage from pictures I've seen. Uncle ted uses them so they can't be that bad.

Bear1990 · 03-18-2010, 06:34 PM

I heard the stingers get more penetration but the buzzcuts leave a better blood trail.

I shoot both. and love them both. the buzz has a bigger cuttn dia. I finaly last nite mite have to retire my go to buzz. 5 big hogs, 4 coon and one opposum tip got a little round after that opposum last night

. either way you brother you can beat them.

Bear1990 · 03-18-2010, 09:30 PM

Sounds like they both are pretty awesome! I now have a new saying. I'm sort of leaning towards the 125 grain buzzcut. I don't have the cash to buy both.

I can't measure a difference between the two in regards to efficiency, just to minor. The Buzzcut is more effective at cutting the structures inside an animal so you could say it does more work. I prefer the Buzzcut myself and use the 125 two blade.

Bear1990 · 03-19-2010, 08:10 AM

Thanks Woody. I wasn't sure whether I wanted more penetration or more damage to internal organs. But, I think your right and I'm going to get the 125 grain buzzcuts. What's your view on the 4 blade buzzcut?

Whitetail assain · 03-19-2010, 10:05 AM

Well the buzz cut 4 blade worksgreat on vitals.The blood trails are pretty good.I have done my own personal testing.I shotdeer in both shoulder, spine, skull,ect.these heads held up great.I think there the easiest head to resharpen.

Bear1990 · 03-19-2010, 10:18 PM

Thanks for the info guys. I'm going to try the 125 gr, 4 blade buzzcuts this year.

Hey Bear - I see you're looking at picking up the 4 blade 125s. Not saying that's a bad idea but my question is this. Is there a reason why you prefer the 4 blade vs the 2 blade? I can tell you that I've spoken with Woody on the phone and have asked a similar question. For me, the fact that the engineer at Magnus (aka Woody) chooses the 2 blade helps me to make the call as to what I would go with. Maybe he knows something we don't

I thought the 4 blade would create more damage than the 2 blade because of the added cutting surface. But, you do make a great point. If the engineer of the broadhead uses the 2 blade instead of the 4 then maybe I should try that instead. Thanks man.

Hey no problem. Just one addendum to my previous comment. This only applies to the 125 gr head. If you were to choose the 100 gr Buzzcut, then you should go with the 4 blade.

WoodySanford · 03-24-2010, 06:35 AM

Yes the bleeders cause more damage but how much do you need? The size of the 125 is more than big enough for me and being a two blade its much easier to re-sharpen. I don't even take them off the shaft to do that. In the 100 grain I would go 4 cause its smaller.

Bear1990 · 03-25-2010, 08:45 AM

Thanks for the video Woody. I was going to use the 125 four blade buzzcuts. But, you make a very good point and the video really helped. I'm gonna try the 2 blade buzzcut this season. Thanks for all the help guys I really appreciate it.
