Guest MN hunter Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I am going to buy some rage broadheads but I am still undecided on which to get. Which would you get the 2 blade or the 3 blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'd go with the 2 blades. I bought a pack of 3 blades, they wouldn't open all the time. seems like a lot of people had that problem. I didn't try tem on an animal, shot em at my yellow yacket target ( that right there messed the head up, due to the design they were tough to pull out) and shot them at some foam, about 4 inches thick, would get mixed results. I decided not to use them. But the 2 blades, I have seen a ton pictures of the damage those do, you won't be disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiobucks Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Never tried the 3 blade, but heard the same thing about them that Lee mentions. I've used the 2 blade Rage's on 3 deer last fall, they are simply awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beagleboy Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I have tried the Rage 2 blade with awesome results. I believe New York state does not allow the use of the Rage 3 blade. Some controversy that the 3 blade falls under the barbed rule or something ridiculous like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 There is a ton of discussion here on this subject if you do a search. That lead me to buy the 2 blade for this upcoming turkey season and maybe deer season this fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried one (3 blade) out on a doe this past season and found her days later with a pin hole in her ribs. I kicked myself for trying them as I have never had a problem with the Grim Reaper since they came out. Everyone gets the itch and wants to try the latest and greatest on the market. Greg Miller didn't have much good to say about them at the Wis. Deer Classic this past Feb. To each their own.......do your research and try to make an educated decision.

Guest Finn Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I haven't used them on a deer yet, but after reading about those heads, i bought the 2 blades this winter and plan to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 You are better with off with a 2 blade. A bigger cutting diameter and less of a chance for something to get caught while opening. The 2 blade is a simpler and better design than the 3 blade in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widowmaker Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I used the two blades this past year and killed two deer with them. Neither one went more than 40 yards. Yes, I will be using them again this year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
