[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5798144, member: 20583"] Bare with me here as I'm not trying to steer you one way or the other. You'll hunt with whatever you want regardless of my opinion. But in recent years I've noticed a trend of going backwards with archery equipment to make arrows heavy & heads small again. The theory is increased penetration and there's all sorts of physics formulas used to prove their point. Personally I respond well to simplicity, so here's a basic formula for area of a circle to compare head size. Area = pi multiplied by radius squared. Your Magnus Stinger with a 1-1/16" cut diameter creates a hole with an area of .89". A 2" mechanical head is less than twice the cut diameter but its hole is more than three times as big at 3.14". If you study hydraulics you'll know that power isn't generated by total volume of a cylinder but rather total area. Bigger diameter means more power regardless of length of stroke. So when draining an animal of its bodily fluids it's the area of the hole, not so much depth that allows the most efficient drain. Simply put, your head with entry and exit wounds combined allow a third less bloodletting than the entry wound alone of a 2" mechanical. An exit would would more than 6X as much bloodletting. Food for thought. [/QUOTE]
