Anyone tried them Rage broadheads?

I work assembling the RAGE broadheads and after viewing the destruction they can do on YouTube I decided I would try them out for myself. The RAGE 2 blade actually has a 2.5" cutting diameter as the blades expand out, then once in place they continue to cut at 2" With such a big cutting surface what it does is expands your kill zone, you have a better chance of hitting the vitals and that my friends, is a great thing.

Some poeple mistake the 3 blade for a bigger broadhead when the cutting diameter is actually only 1.5"

What happened to you Buckhunter76?

I will be the lone decentor. :rolleyes:

I bought some Rage 2 blades and I sold them. I didn't like the fact that they are hard to remove from the quiver without them deploying. Also when I sat in my ground blind, if I so much as tapped the arrow, they deployed. You have to treat them like egg shells. To much uncertainty for me. I traded the Rages in for the Epek XC-3. So far I am MUCH happier with these broadheads.

I got your back man!! I am not a fan either.

I personally feel the head did not open. I have shot deer since this doe with very similar circumstances and they were dead within 50 yards and laid down awesome blood trails. I still have the other two heads because I won't sell them for fear it may happen to someone else. I should not have gone away from the Reapers!!!

If you won't sell them, will you give them?

:D

I always check any bhead right before I load it on the rest. Mine always get loose, but I just snug them back into place. Out of 12 deer, no issues yet with them! Best bhead ever in my book.. No knocking muzzy and others out there.. they all work if you hit the spot right.

its normally

80% shot placement

20% bhead style/design(if that)

i believe sometimes its either the shooter, or shot placement, lol, but hey it could be your bow being picky, lmao, but either or im not knocking none, because it might be the bow speed, arrow length, it could be alot of factors, all i know is they work for me, and they do leave a **** of a blood trail, not i that i need one 99.9% of the time, cause i usaully geta double lung shot, kills them everytime, and quick

The Rage should not set you up to take STUPID shots. All you hear is the damage it does no matter where it hits. There is no excuse not to be proficient and ethical with your shooting.

Great point. Too many guys taking quartering to shots because they see them on the videos. Just because the "pros" take them, doesn't make them ethical.

'Course, that's just MHO.

:D
