Magnus Single Bevel Review

[@trloftin]

I saw when Zac, on the hunting public, kill his mule deer the arrow specs said Magnus Single Bevel. I was very confused because I knew Magnus didn't have a single bevel. But now it's starting to make sense. This is very exciting. Now we need to convince Mike to make steel ferals to get the 150 grain single bevel into the 200 grain category.

[@kingbronco6398]

SAME! I Looked it up and figured it was a typo and it was the Massai

[@soonerfrac4611]

The idea of a Maasai with Buzz Cuts really makes it interesting!

[@jacketprideable]

Yes to all, especially one in a 200 grain!!!

[@johnd7215]

I will take a steel ferrule version of the stinger at a 1.5" cut please!@@jacketprideable

[@sethmatherne7012]

Yep, my eye brow definitely went up when I heard it too.

[@andrewmccann7572]

Ever since switching to Magnus I have seen every deer tip over, I can’t imagine something better.

[@JasonW479]

Man I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning. I’m glad to see different companies asking for your opinions and your testing on their products. I’ve gone down the adult arrow rabbit hole, have not had an arrow not pass through since. Thanks RF

[@drewriggs812]

Magnus are the best bang for your buck. High quality for the price. These single bevels look like winners. Especially the buzzcut version.

[@mainewoods1862]

BEST news I have seen in 2024 !! 🎉

[@FatGuyBiking]

Thanks Troy im new to Bowhunting but my ten year has gathered interest and received a crossbow for xmas and myself a cheap starter bow. Ive been watching your videos pretty regularly over the past few moths in anticipation for my sons and myfirst hunt this year (I am a very experienced rifle hunter and never wanted to jump the bow route cause I saw too many injured animals in the woods due to bad shots or "Baby arrows") I really have no clue what im doing with the bow stuff but I do know I am going to order some tuffheads and some of these magnus heads. I have started the arrow tuning process and need to order some good FOC arrows for this year for myself. The high FOC is the only thing that makes sense to me when bowhunting myself like rocketman have a background in aerodynamics in the government space (not to the extent of him) I have already started teaching my son the RF ways and hes a big fan of you and the hunting public guys. I just wanted to say thanks for helping an idiot like myself figure out this archery business.

[@RanchFairy]

Look up Dragging deer channel or search "Ranch Fairy Crossbow". My friend did a whole series on adult crossbow arrows.

[@FatGuyBiking]

@@RanchFairy Thank you sir I will definitely do that and hopefully Ill send you some footage next year of high FOC bolt smacking a buck from my 10 yo. Cheers brother and have fun with those hogs.

[@michaelcurtis8114]

I saw a review on these yesterday and instantly thought of you Ranch Fairy. I just knew I would have the opportunity to see a review from you as well. Thanks for the review.

[@codybarnhart7161]

I've been using their stinger buzzcuts for 12 years. Amazing results, amazing product. Biggest buck of my life was 160 inch 8 point. 200 +lbs dressed 52 yards cut the rib in half going in and going out and was stuck 6 inches in the ground.

[@Artstein3]

They will be in my quiver this archery season for sure. Thanks for the review Troy!

[@RanchFairy]

Should be on website today.

[@ToddPNW]

Nice, I'm just putting together my arrows with the test kit and hadn't sorted out what broadhead to use. Might give these a shot!

[@lanedavidson2105]

Awesome stuff, would love to see a 200 grain and maybe even heavier

[@CompundkillerLive]

was just listening to your htp episode, and i loveeee the magnus broadheads the stinger buzzcut is by far my fav ever, just blows through everything , and sharp, best shot 40 yards clean heart shot full pass through, and mike at Magnus is amazing ! very on the forums and replies to everything you ask about

[@joeltgardenier]

It's about time I really like Magnus heads can't wait to play with them

[@HuntingCreatures]

Amazing partnership! Michael and Roy together. heck yeah!

[@Michael-hm8cs]

Just saw these in stores in South Africa and they are very reasonably priced. Will defintely get some.

[@mjc_208]

This is exciting! I’ve shot the Stingers for years and have been wanting to try a single bevel, more solid head. I’m definitely going to give these a look. Will they have bleeder blades in the future?

[@RanchFairy]

No plans for bleeders

[@harrisonharding]

😢

[@jasonard7227]

thx for the info you sent me a pack of the stinger buzz cuts a couple years ago they did just as you said they would thx for helping out the little guys Troy. since I stared with the fairy dust on my adult arrows and broadheads I have not lost a deer yet all pass throughs with 650 grains now 550 grains....God Bless

[@gordie4059]

I’m super stoked they brought these out in a 150gr first. Can’t wait to get some for my Excalibur crossbow and my Bodnik Quick Stick!

[@Jits.kid420]

Man i cant wait to try these out. Lost a doe with a ramcat and switched to stingers and never looked back.

[@TheK2008]

I was looking for something like this before season to launch from my crossbows. Magnus didnt have these yet, so i got the crimson talon clevers. Shot great. My daughter shot an 8 point thru the spine right below us. Dropped him in his tracks. Quick file and little strop and it was back in the quiver. I will look at these when my clevers wear out. But will be a few years..

[@critter852004]

Those are very solid heads. I shot a mature buck through the shoulder with one due to the shot angle was slightly quartering to. I was impressed, especially it being less than $30 for the 3 pack.

[@MikeyWoomer]

I've always loved the magnus stuff. They are top notch!

[@davida.4933]

I get brass inserts from eBay of various weights and up to super heavy for high FOC arrows. Then you can use lighter wt. broadheeads and still have massive FOC. The inserts also strengthen the front end of the arrow quite a lot.

[@johnd7215]

Great to see Magnus introducing something new. Is a double bevel coming out?

[@Heavy_Arrow312]

They already have double bevel....the stinger for example is a double

[@johnd7215]

I meant I was hoping the new design would be offered in a double bevel. I was also hoping we would see a larger cut and some larger weight offerings. Something for us Trad guys. Can't please everybody. Still a nice looking head from a solid company. @@Heavy_Arrow312

[@billmcconnell1737]

I have been a Magnus man for a long time. I have always said Quality people making Quality products. An they stand behind them .

[@JayN4GO]

Glad Mike teamed up with you

[@williamgaines9784]

The Pearson broadhead at the very bottom of the screenshot were what came in a recurve bow "kit" I got for a Christmas gift 50 years ago. Cedar shafts and a 40 pound pull. Never got to try one on game. The bow and any arrows have been lost to time.

[@MikeyWoomer]

I'm excited to get my hands on them! I love that they are solid and 150 grains is great weight all around for a broadhead.

[@Jbzero999]

Be glad to get these. I have the RMS cutthroats which are great heads, but here in the PNW, the rain is relentless, I spend more time cleaning rust off of them than shooting. I'm more than happy to go back to stainless.

[@ryanfloyd1]

Been waiting for this review! Unfortunately I have filled all of my deer tags and I won’t be able to try these until next year. Keep em coming!!

[@zekeoutdoors]

The trifecta single bevel did well for me this year, shot through thick grass, got a pass through, ran 70 yards

[@lawrencew2366]

Magnus cuts like butter….love em

[@travishawley1480]

Crimson Tallon Kleavers 200gr single bevels are amazing also!

[@hddm3]

Awesome. We will definitely support you guys. Thanks for all you’ve done for us. Godbless

[@NicolasOrtiz-y8h]

Thanks for sharing another cool vid with us.

[@dorrinvanheerden1007]

looking forward to try these on our aAfrican game

[@Michael-hm8cs]

I see Archers edge stocks them

[@darthvollmer]

I thought Mike’s stance was that Magnus would never make a single bevel, and that a single bevel would never be as sharp as a double bevel. I love Magnus products, and would have held out for these, had I known that Magnus was going to make singles. Great customer service too. Everything that I killed with a Magnus head died, within 10 to 20 yards of the shot - so unreal.

[@ronmacdougall9612]

Another great video chief,have a very happy new year

[@ethanknight3970]

im looking forward to hearing about 200 grain versions!

[@ericnewman971]

Nice. Love that design.

[@outdoorswithjethroe]

Very exciting i can’t wait

[@Kurtdog63]

Funny how compound bowhunters in the speed world start staggering and falling over when someone suggests they get away from 100 grain broadheads, skip 125 grains and jump across the canyon to 150 grains, especially when 150 grains is considered light weight in the traditional world of archery. The first deer I killed with an arrow was back in the 1980's with a broadhead called the "Butterfield Brute". It weighed 180 grains with aluminum insert and had the same shape as this video shows on the Magnus. Arrow system weighed 700 grains. I was on the ground and buck came past me and turned hard quartering away right before I released. Complete pass thru diagonally centering the liver. Found the buck the next morning about 100 yards from where I shot it. If you compare this shape broadhead to a Zwickey Delta, you can see why the wider tip design has much greater resistance to bending on bone impact. .06 thickness and the single bevel completes the ensemble for the Magnus.

[@philliplee1193]

the turning moment would indicate a correlating notch & cut angle, with notch & cut relief behind the cut, and cut presentation angled back to reduce momentum loss. With the horsepower of compound bows driving this thing, less of a problem than with trad bow poundage. And so your filing angles should be @ thirty degrees back from the spinning direction allowing for release of damaged dendrita on the notches impeding flow!

[@Bartimusblue27]

Hey Ranch-Fairy, have you heard of Abowyer broadheads? They make quite a few different single bevel heads. Has the foundation ever tested them? I am in love with their 190gr "Antelope" curved head, its 2"L x 1.25"W. And although i would like to see them made a little thicker and of harder steel, I've never had the edges chatter unless the shaft gets buried in rough soil.

[@RanchFairy]

I don't know if they've been tested.

[@garysteen7834]

Love your videos. Are they going to be avaliable in 300gr.

[@Milwaukee307]

Can CONFIRM they will replace it if it breaks. I had a Stinger Buzzcut break and it didn't seem to hit anything very hard that I know of, it passed through the deer and was only a few inches in the dirt. When I pulled it out it was in two pieces. Only this one broke out of several I've used. I emailed Magnus and when I got an email back he was acting like I must have been lying that its impossible for it to have broken without hitting anything hard he still sent me a replacement, so I was happy about that. I wouldn't just assume people are lying though when sometimes shit happens and it is 100% possible that mine had a manufacturing defect, to act like this is an impossibility is ridiculous. I work in CNC Manufacturing and I can tell you not every part is created equal, no matter how close you attempt to make them alike sometimes there are defects. I just ordered these Single Bevel Broadheads and I'm looking forward to using them this weekend!

[@dennyroszell8744]

Can’t wait!!🦌

[@jeffmasseau886]

Believe Abowyer still has a head of that shape

[@mervjb809]

I shoot a single bevel broadhead from Grizzly Stik that looks almost identical to the Magnus. I've had very good results with it

Thanks Troy

[@lcjjr.6714]

[@rogersimonds1812]

These look a lot like GrizzlyStik Massai 200 grain heads. I’ve used them for several years. If the price is better I’ll try these 150’s.

[@tylerritchie6259]

Bleeder blade option coming? I need the additional outer hole damage for tracking in the thick Northwoods. Single bevels work great but ive had poor blood trails from them in the past.

[@sethmatherne7012]

Yep, I used the black hornets and the bleeder blades were spectacular.

[@brandonmiler801]

Dude Mike is awesome Great guy!

[@328am]

This is awesome, I can’t wait add them to my setup. Will there be field-tips to compliment these beasts?

[@calfischer8627]

Question for Troy. I noticed that you have switched gears from being a proponent of complete pass throughs because it gives you a better blood trail and it does not scare the animal by flopping around as it runs away. I prefer a pass through especially when shooting from a tree stand so I get a blood trail to follow otherwise with a high hit I may not get much if any blood until the blood starts coming out of the deer's nose. Keep up the great work.

[@michaelbushey2787]

I used magnus for ome season. It was the stinger. And they all bent hitting ribs on a whitetail. So i went to iron will after that.

[@outlawcustombows]

Have a look at Extract Broadheads from Australia... similar thing in 200gr.

[@Popularshorts83]

Do you think Magnus will come out with a “Wide” all steel version?? Please talk to Mike yess 200gr please! Tuffhead, Cutthroat, Iron Will has answered the call. Come on Magnus make us the BEST one yet!

[@justinconrad5283]

Definitely going to order some of these and probably sell my iron wills

[@lcjjr.6714]

Again, What happened to the magic 3 to 1 ratio ????

[@RanchFairy]

99% of people are not comfortable with the 3:1 platform. It’s still (tested by ashby foundation on cape buff and Asian buff 2020 and 2021 with an 80# compound) the far and away gold standard. So, I will at least promote perfect arrow flight and much better broadheads that lean toward heavier single bevel. My personal serious hunting arrows have 300 grain Tuffhead 3:1 on them 715 grains intimidates many people.

[@lcjjr.6714]

@@RanchFairy Thanks for the prompt response. Your efforts are appreciated! Happy testing and happy hunting! Be safe and God bless!

[@mikebowerman5078]

I saw a review yesterday on these heads. He gave a link to email Magnus about adding new weights to the line up. I would love to see a 175 and 200 grain head so I don't have to biuld new arrows.

[@ThumbsMcThumb]

If you enjoy supporting China made heads, then yeah.

[@DRIECUTHoney]

I switched to the hornets because the stingers bend easily. I should probably send them in for warranty, but that’s no fun. These single bevels look nice, but I prefer a 125 head. I enjoy shooting at longer distances and don’t like switching back and forth between different arrows since it screws up my sight tape. Question: will he make them with bleeders at some point?

[@RanchFairy]

Youre not gonna buy them anyway....

[@DRIECUTHoney]

@@RanchFairy well, it would be the only magnus offering that I haven’t purchased. I’ve done way too much tinkering, but I’ve stuck with magnus exclusively for hunting. They come sharp and always work. I like the idea of a single bevel, but the cost has kept me from buying and here recently also the weight to some degree. I think heavy is better, but there are no free lunches. Everything has a trade off. Also, I like to have a bunch of arrows set up for practice, and some with new or resonantly sharpened heads set aside for hunting. I practice every day leading up to and during hunting season. Maybe I should have left off the bit about my personal hunting setup and just asked my question. I wasn’t trying to come across as a hater. I was genuinely curious if he will make an option with bleeders because this seams like a good option for hunting at a known distance. I have four kids and it’s legal to hunt over corn here in Oklahoma. If I had to bet, I would bet on me buying these at some point.

[@NonAbidingDude]

I usually sharpen blocks of steel or obsidian and attach a telephone pole to it to avoid the new technology also. A mechanical that has the same cut diameter as this hunk of steel while it's closed with a 50-100g brass insert behind it, yeah, just ignore that for some 1890s tech.

So what’s the difference between these and the Grizzlystik Maasai?

[@cpullic]

0.0

[@thehuntingparadox2291]

I would say if speaking about that broadhead specifically, 25 grains and a lifetime warranty instead of a 12 month warranty, based on what the sites say for both. The GS doesn’t come in a 150, just 125 and 200. Apples to apples really, and archers preference I would think more than anything. All look like good broadheads. I like the warranty difference personally and this would allow me to not have to put a 50gr brass insert in my arrows for hunting, if I want to switch back and forth between target and hunting setups with the same arrows. I like the idea. Can’t wait to try them.

[@TheK2008]

GS has more angle. They say it makes it sharper. But down side is it chips easily when it hits hard objects. For 3x the cost. Not worth it IMO. Go Magnus. They will probably also offer replacement blades. GS does not.

[@bikerbrandon1]

You should use this broadhead and test it on an arrow setup and see where that bone breaking threshold is for the build. Curious to see if the arrow still has to be 650 grains with a tanto tip broadhead and single bevel.

The shape of those new magnus mirrors a ton of the native american flint arrowheads I've seen. I think they knew a little about fatality of broadheads because they survived. My question is can i use that new magnus head on a crossbow bolt that is flying 380 fps? it will kill.

[@RanchFairy]

that's your responsibility to find arrows that fly. Not much to blame the broadhead companies. Look up "ranch fairy crossbow" on you tube. Buddy of my did a whole series on tuning bolts.

[@jameshibbard1097]

Yeah I always recommend the Draggin' Deer you tube videos when folks ask about how to get fixed blades to behave on crossbow bolts. As long as your cams are properly timed, it is the spine alignment/nock tuning of your bolts that determines your arrow flight. Also, after you nock tune you need to go back and shoot through paper again with various weight heads to find the head weight that flies best with your set up. A bolt flying sideways (nock high or low) defeats the purpose of higher weight, speed, and FOC. If it isn't flying straight it will lever on impact redirecting your momentum.

[@giovannigalasso3795]

Does anyone know what type of steel is used to make these? I was thinking about going for Samurai 200 grain single bevel for the extra 50 grains of weight and a sharper angled broadhead but they are made of 440C stainless steel. Anyone know if that type of stanless steel is any good, or what these magnus single bevels are made with?

[@wiliiamcarlsen3426]

I think it would be easy to make a heavier (200 gr) head simply by making the ferrule out of a heavier metal. Can’t see why it would be difficult or add to cost. In addition…can’t wait for a left bevel.
