Casey Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I agree.... Rage broadheads are nasty!!! I have heard from both sides of these broadheads, some say they are the best, some say the blades don't open up. Its all about personal preference. I personally like the G5 Strikers. Remember though its all about where you place that arrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodtrails Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Two blade is the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddCountyKiller Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Yea they do the job. But why waste 30 bucks on three broadheads when you can buy 6 muzzys for the same price and still have the known fact that they get the job done.:yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawgitall Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I fought myself back and forth. I finally took the plunge and bought a pack (yesterday). After several hunters that I know first hand just swore by them. 2 which were die hard fixed blade hunters like myself. I'm gonna give them a shot!

stcif Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I'm getting tired of all of these people on the hunting shows making it seem like if you don't use products by their sponsors, you won't be able to harvest a deer. Terry Drury says the only reason he killed the deer was because of the rage and his fast PSE bow. Yeah maybe. I think he killed it because the deer lost blood, and therefore died from lack of oxygen to the brain. There are many, many bow, arrow , and broadhead combos that would have killed that deer with the same shot I'm sure. I like how these people are shooting so called top of the line everything and so many arrows do not penetrate the animal. Why is that? Doesn't take too much thought to figure it out. I wonder if these shows do a service, or a dis-service to our cherished sport.... My opinion of the rage. It obviously is a devestating product, as are many, many broadheads. Bet you can't target practice with it, over and over and over, hitting the ground, dirt, branches rocks etc.. and easily resharpen it to go hunting the next day. I may be wrong, but it doesn't have the metal like some other well made broadheads on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddCountyKiller Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Amen Brotha! If he thought the PSE was so fast, I'd hate for him to see my buds Mathews Monster!!! 360 FPS, Aint no bow comming close! But thats what they get paid to do, advertise. Other than Realtree Roadtrips, Bone Collector, and Wildgame Nation, All other hunting show do anymore is advertise. And during these three shows, they may be using their product, but they're not mentioning it every sentence they speak. They let the product speak for itself.

Dakota Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I've made the switch to Rage this year as well. Can't wait to try the Rage 2 out of my Monster on a WY antelope in just 7 short days! Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 when a deer runs off with your arrow this is not good got to have pass through got to But when you have a devasting entrance wound and massive blood loss like you get with the Rage expandables a pass-thru doesn't really matter. Plus, unless you hit shoulder you'll get a pass-thru 9 times out of 10. Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with that at all. I don't see whats wrong with advertising. If you take the bait or not, there is no reason to jump on each others backs because of what they say or sale. I seen the rage video and you know what, maybe Terry Drury was right, it was because of the broadhead and bow. Maybe your right about the oxygen, but he did recover the deer which to me is the most important thing. I've never heard any outfitter or pro hunter, say if you don't use this, you won't kill a deer. I do laugh at posts about the best broadhead. The best broadhead out there in my opinion is a sharp one. Any broadhead that is sharp with the right shot placement will kill the deer.

I somewhat agree with you. I have no problem in advertising if it is ethical and the person advertising believes in what they say. As for pro hunters. I don't consider many of the people on t.v. perched in tree stands in some of the best deer country in the U.S. pro hunters. I feel people like the Benoits are pro hunters. I'm not jumping on peoples backs, just voicing my opinion like others do. That's why we have forums like this. I enjoy the Drury brothers and feel they are entertaining, and well educated. Just tired of the advertising. I know it comes with the territory. People are making milions off of other's antler illness. I just hope it doesn't destroy things.

ShortDraw Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Rage is a decent head...IMHO there unethical though. Why risk a blade not opening? shoot a fixed blade and there's no worry. And the whole accuracy thing is BS. A fixed blade will fly! my Magnus Stinger will hit exactly on my field tips at 60 yrds. If your shooting past that you shouldn't be hunting....Seems like most people shooting expandable's are only shooting them because their naive on how to tune there arrows or bows. I'm not pointing fingers with that statement, just a general observation of people who come into our shop. On the flip-side I have seen some HUGE holes from the rage... just not worth the worry to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your shooting past that you shouldn't be hunting....Seems like most people shooting expandable's are only shooting them because their naive on how to tune there arrows or bows. I'm not pointing fingers with that statement, just a general observation of people who come into our shop. Hmm, first off...I've shot Rage since they came out and never had an issue with opening. The way they're made, I can't fathom how they wouldn't open. Hypothetically, let's say the blade didn't open. If you made a good shot, a hole through two lungs would take down a deer no matter what. Secondly, not everyone's setup is the same. Just because fixed blades fly true out of your bow doesn't mean that's true for everyone else. Lastly, I shoot expandables and nothing but. I shoot them for plenty of reasons other than "I don't know how to tune my bow." Take my Rages away and hand me a pack of Muzzy's and I'll be hitting quarters from 40 yards in an hour. Saying "most people" is a pretty bold statement. Just goes to show ya varying opinions To each his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I would love to try the rage this year but the price tag is going to keep the Muzzy in my quiver. I even thought about buying a pack and carrying one in my quiver in case I get a broadside clean shot but again, at $10 each im going to have to say no and stick with the good ole Muzzy.

Sorry if i offended anyone else I agree, my words were..demeaning lol. I was simply stating my experiences with customers from our shop.. I also have to admit that if i had to shoot an expandable I would shoot the rage. The two blade is a great head. I have seen some failures on the three blade though. However, I choose to shoot fixed heads for the reasons I stated in my earlier post. Again sorry, I did get carried away, and didn't want to offend anyone.

PotashRLS Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Regardless of how big the enterance hole is, 2 holes is better than 1, especially when most exits are lower than the enterance. Many of the kill shots on TV using the Rage show very poor penetration IMHO. Seldom do you see pass-throughs or even burying an arrow up to the fletching. This has to be the result of a light arrow pushing a large cut broadhead. Plus some are shooting 40 yards and losing energy quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
