Default pick a head

I have narrowed my choice in broadheads to

Magnus Stinger/Buzzcuts 100 grains
Steelforce 100 grain
Rocket sidewinder 100 grain

I have shot 2 of the 3 excluding the steelforce
I am shooting a vectrix at 70 lbs and a beman 340(switched from an epic 400)due to the fact the spine was weak on the stingers

The stingers are shooting low 3to 4 inches a slightly right -
The sidewinder destroyed a field point shot arrow of equal weight dead center of the target
No experience with steelforce
I have killed 8 whitetails with rockets in the past
I took 5 whitetails last year with the buzzcuts
Biggest difference was the blood trails and penetration
Stingers- blind man could have followed
Rockets- 4 of the arrows stayed in and 3 were pass through blood trails were ok but had to find where they started - All deer were taken with a 64lb Vtec and 340 bemans

my dilema is I love the stingers but the rockets are flying true with my filed points - bow shoots a perfect hole in paper, is timed, and well tuned
Just looking for opinions and thoughts[/align]

I am a big fan of fixed blade heads, so it would be the Stingers or the Steel Force for me.

Speaking from experience, those Stingers leave a heck of a blood trail.....I would, however, advise against the Buzzcut....Use the regular.

ive heard the same thing as mo said...buzzcuts dont leave good trails from what i hear from alot of people...

you got months and months before the season....you got a long while to get your bow and arrows broadhead tuned.

i dont have any expirience with any of the heads...i hear stingers are a dang good head though.

I have have not noticed a difference between the blood trails of buzzcutts or regular stingers. They both leave BIG holes and awesome blood.

Shoot whatever you have the most confidence in.

I have not found a broadhead (all things considered) to match them.

You can't go wrong with a Ted Nugent endorsed product. Go with the Magnus Stinger.

LOL! I can't actually believe I just read that! Gimme a break, the man changes his stripes every season. Ted simply sells out to the highest bidder/sponsor every season and I don't think many would argue? Just look at the ever changing sponsor list on his show or perhaps you should realize how many different times he's jumped ship on different bow companies! Ted is a sell-out, plain and simple! [:'(]

For the record, I'd prefer to shoot the Rocket Steelhead of the b-heads mentioned. Unbeatable penetration and accuracy and I swear you could shoot the things through a brickwall if you had to! Good luck and good shootin'
