Going on a cow elk hunt this fall. Going to use a magnus stinger 125. Only thing i wonder is 2 or 4 blade? If you have tried these on elk which do you perfer?
I going stinger first sure I would go two blade. That extra cut in the ferrule of the 4 blade weakens it quite a bit. I broke a bunch of the 4 blades when I shot them. Some tougher heads out there but not sure there are many that fly better or are sharper.
I killed a cow Elk with a 2 blade last year.. it did its job but was bent like a J when I removed the arrow.. my son shot a 100 lb pig with a stinger 2 months ago and it did the same thing.. they make stronger cut on contact heads..

I had this same experience when I shot 4 blade stingers. The little bleeder blades would break off, even on small doe. All the animals I shot with them died, but I didn’t like the weakness of the 4 blade ferrules.
I still shoot the 2 blade model. Great BH’s for sure.
Looks like the consensus is the two blade. That was kind of what I was thinking but I wanted to see if anyone had tried both and had different views. I've used them to kill deer and pigs, both the 2 and 4 Blade model, but never something the size of an elk. Hopefully I'll get to change that this fall
