swohiodave Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 What kind of scope did you go with mike? I have a truglo but i am not impressed with the eye relief on it at all. I do have easton carbon arrows and I love them. I shoot 100 gr thunderheads out of my horton explorer hd150. Last year I had an arrow pass almost all of the way through a doe longways. This year I just bought a new pack of spitfire 3 blades in 100gr. What grain are you shooting with the rage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebohio Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 i bought a shooters choice scope. it is a cheaper scope($60). the eye relief is fine. the only beef i have is it isnt great in low light but i expected that for the price. dont get me wrong its usable at low light just not great. i shoot 100gr.rage.

swohiodave Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Nice looking setup Mike. I am going to be out hanging stands and shooting my bow next weekend if the weather here holds out. It was looking like rain all day today but it never came.

swohiodave Posted September 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 No problems with my explorer. I have never had an issue with either of my Hortons. plenty of dead deer would agree they work out just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that the rages would open in flight out of a crossbow? and thought that was why the introduced the new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that the rages would open in flight out of a crossbow? and thought that was why the introduced the new ones.i shoot the traditional ones for three years now. i have killed numerous deer with them and have never had one open in flight. i read the package for the crossbow heads and it gives no reasoning why they are any diffrent. i personally feel it is just a marketing stunt to sell more heads to the exploding crossbow population. most modern compound bows shoot just as fast if not faster than crossbows.
