Don't let one bad broadhead spoil your RAGE 2-blade experience. They really are devastating and will deploy on contact. Here's what you do, write a letter, or make a call to the company on the package and send the broadhead back, tell em it did not work for you and you are not satisfied. Meanwhile, you should have 2 unused broadheads, before heading out into the field, check to make sure that the blades on them move smoothly and are not bent at all. If they do move freely and unrestricted then hit the woods and give em another shot, I promise you won't be disappointed again.
