mule659 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I noticed another member posted about his rage 3 blade not opening correctly on cardboard and of course that is not accurate to bone/tissue of a living animal. Well a friend of mine shot a pretty nice buck yesterday and used his 3 blade rage...he made a great double lung hit at abour 20 yards. Thank god he made a good hit because only one blade deployed. I think that is a pretty accurate test by anyones standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Sorry to hear about this. I'm glad you retrieved the deer so you didn't have to speculate like I had to. Will your friend continue to shoot them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mule659 Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 No way he is done with them. He is going to be shooting the G5 striker now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PotashRLS Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Buddy shot a doe last night with the Grim Reaper 1 3/4" and got a complete passthrough and at the end of an easy 75 yrd blood trail was a beautiful Wisconsin doe! He may just log on an give more info later. We are staying with the Grim Reapers and mailing our Rage 3 blades back to the company. We thought of selling them but then someone else may have trouble with them. We'll just eat the money and call it a lesson learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Chief Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I stopped by Dicks Sporting Goods last night and picked up another 6 pack of Muzzy 3 blades. The Rage are going in the drawer. May use them for groundhogs/fox etc. Not going to lose a deer because blades don't open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest john9 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 "I noticed another member posted about his rage 3 blade not opening correctly on cardboard." That was me. Cardboard taped over my Delta Buck, only 1 blade would open on a 20 yard shot with 60 LBS of KE. Same result as the real deer your friend shot. People did not want to belive me, I hope they will listen to you. Rage 3 Blade heads are a defective design, this has been shown many times. Rage is an unethical company, they have been told by me and others that their product does not work and will wound deer. Muzzy 4 blades fly perfect for me at all ranges. I have 3 unused Rage 3 Blade that will never be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
