Title: Magnus Bullhead vs Gobbler Guillotine
Post by: K9Doc on February 19, 2013, 09:57:28 PM
Ok. I have killed 1 with the Guillotine. It worked perfectly. It has 4 blades and 4" citing diameter.
Bullhead has 3.75" cutting diameter, but only 3 blades.  Guillotine is difficult to transport and Bullhead makes neat little rubber tips that allow easy quiver carry.
Who shoots what? Why?

Magnus, never shot the GG.  I read better reviews over the bullhead and you cannot beat the Magnus warranty.

I shoot the Guillotines (when I'm trying for head shots). Bigger cut and more blades, great flight, and a lifetime no questions asked warranty.

I've tried both the guillotines and the magnus bullheads. I prefer the bullheads. The GG's were very hard to tune. I tried both the 100 gr. and the 125 gr. bullheads. I prefer to hunt with the 100 gr. bullhead. They flew better and were easier to tune. My friends and I are all shooting the 100gr. heads. The 125's were hard to tune and depending on the conditions weren't consistently accurate to 20 yards. I'd be confident shooting the 100gr. heads out to 30 yards. The 3" cutting diameter is enough and sure kills turkeys. My friend had a complete decap last year using the 100gr. head.

Good luck with which ever setup you try.

i have shot both and i like the bull heads i could shoot 45 yards just like field points but the gobbler guillotines only shot accurately to about 25 yards for me but if the guillotines are working good for you i would prob just stick with what works

:z-winnersmiley:

I switched to 100 grain, couldn't the get 125's to fly as well out of my new bow. The 100's are flying perfect out to 15 yards and all I hope is I don't miss that extra cutting surface with the 100's.

I went out today and shot the 100 grain bullhead. This poor apple had to be sacrificed. This was a 20 yard shot.

Magnus.  Have had a hard time tuning. Ended up this year fletching with 5 1/2" feathers.  Spot on now.  I should have held the feathers further back towards the nock though.  They are right at the drop away rest.  Spot on to twenty...on pillows.  Never got a shot this year.

This my first year using the Magnus Bullhead I use the victory arrows with the 125 grain heads. Getting them to fly was easy dead on at 20 yds. I will post off and on how its going this season

So I was bored and picked up a box of the bullhead 125's and they are flying great now, hitting right where I want em. I've killed 2 this season with the 100's but will be trying for the rest of the year with the 125's. I like the extra inch of cutting surface..... :funnyturkey:

Still perplexed as to why I couldn't get em to fly great before and now they're dead on. Probably the operator.
