Black Hornet Vs Stinger.... I can't decide. What has been your experience with each?
 
I’ve shot and shoot both. In my exp hornets are a bit louder and maaaaybe penetrate a bit less than stingers, both shoot amazing. Hornets are a bit wider so cut on contact is wider and hornets fit in my quiver better, stingers are a long head so be careful if your quiver is short. Honestly you can’t go wrong with either. I will say my hornets responded better to my heavy arrow setup maybe owing to its shorter profile. Lusk archery reviewed both, it’s worth watching his review.
 
I like the aspect ratio and solid blade profile of the stinger killer bees personally, I've had some issues with hearing a buzzing or whine from vented heads
 
Do you currently have a sharpening setup? If not, check out Ron Kulas' "innovative outdoorsman" 3D-printed sharpening guides. Offhand I can't recall if both take the same guide. If you already have a sharpening setup that will work with one head and not the other, it might be money ahead to go with the head you can already sharpen.

I've only got the Stingers, and haven't shot anything with them. Got them as a stop-gap/backup to my 'fairy dust' arrows. But they're really easy to sharpen.

I'm with you. Its all me, but I swear I heard buzzing/whistles sound from every vented broad heads I ever used. The killer bees are great.

Are you talking about the staysharp? If so that thing is money. I have one and it’s all I use.

That's the one! I've got one for my Grizzly single-bevels (also works for my Stingers) and one for my Samurais. Everything gets scary sharp, on wet/dry paper from Harbor Freight taped to Masonite.

Whichever Magnus head you wind up with, Ron's got you covered. https://staysharpguide.com/about

I have used his sharpening guides for my Maasai heads. Crazy sharp!
