Skillet Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Has anyone used these? I'm a little disappointed in the blood trails my current broadheads are giving me, even with ideal shot placement and a pass through. I am used to the chisel tip style, but hear a lot of people swear by cut on contact heads. Thinking about trying them.

ATbuckhunter Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Solid heads. Hear a lot of good things about them. I want to say I've heard they leave iffy blood trails, but I have zero experience. I hear the black hornets leave better trails. Skillet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So from what i have read the serrated blade magnus heads leave a better blood trail . I will say i used a non serrated stinger head and was not impressed with the blood trail and never used them again. Google QAD exodus heads, they are just a great head . Im impressed with their performance on deer , as many others are to . Skillet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp_bucks Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I used the black hornets 4 blade one year and they cut ok but where the blades get tightened at is super weak and caused a bunch of failures just shooting at targets made for broad heads. A good friend had the same issues using the black hornet 2 blades. Skillet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Nehrke Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I used them for the first time this year. The two deer I shot left marginal blood trails, even though both were pass through shots behind the shoulder. One was quartering, one was broadside, both were shot inside of twenty yards - one at a fairly steep angle. Dead is dead, but I'm glad I didn't have long tracks. I'm going to stick with them for next year before making up my mind whether to move on or not. Skillet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want a weak broadhead on something with big ribs. I hope the stingers are stronger.

dbHunterNY Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) at ATA show Magnus has single bevel heads they're putting out there now. i don't use the buzz cut but the regular stingers with no bleeder. they seem to work fine with acceptable blood trails. there's always exceptions but keep them hair shaving sharp. i don't have experience with single bevel heads but they've been said by reputable folks to make more of a square hole for better blood trails.

Nomad Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I’ve used two blade cut on contact for 30 years or so , Stingers the last idk how long lol . I’d say 1/4 never knew they were hit and either stood there or took one or two leaps then stood there and fell over . My belief is they just zip through unfelt ,rather then some big expanding thing that they really feel and run off . I don’t know if I had an issue I’d have stopped many years ago . I have Buzz Cuts but prefer the plain edge ,simply because they seem sharper . Double lung them from a stand and I’ve never had a blood trail issue . cervidchasers, Skillet, Bolt Action and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR HUNTER Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I've been using then for a few seasons now. Last buck I shot fell within 20 yds with a decent blood trail. But each shot is different. I know there is a lot of talk about blood trails but I feel that in general, blood loss is a direct result of the cutting diameter and sharpness. You want bigger wound channels and blood trails, get a bigger cutting diameter broadhead. But these are tough heads and well made. Just keep them sharp like any other broad head. cervidchasers and Skillet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cervidchasers Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) My vote would be for QAD Exodus for a Bison hunt There are pics on Archery Talk forum where the buzzcut folded when it hit thick bone Edited January 18 by cervidchasers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
