Dakota Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Rage broadheads certainly do a number on whatever they hit. I just couldn't believe my buck survived as long as he did after being hit with one let alone 4! He was crashed ten minutes after the shot and was bleeding profusely but he just wouldn't die so I ended up putting two more Rage 2s and a Rage 3 in him before he died. The first one certainly did the job though. Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AceArcher Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 so who has squared a shoulder with one though?????? And I don't mean the blade..... That is a good point. However, you put your arrow where it needs to go and it is lights out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryboy89 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 a guy at work put one square in the shoulder and did some pretty big hurtin on the deer he shot. he tryed it just to see how well theses rages are and hasnt had ne problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 so who has squared a shoulder with one though?????? And I don't mean the blade..... I wonder the same. Nonetheless, I'm giving them a shot this year. In all the years I've bowhunted, I've never shot a mechanical, mostly it's been muzzy's for me. Going to shoot some rage this year and take a look. From the pics I've seen, doesn't look like there's a deadlier BH out there from behind the shoulder all the way back through the guts. The dead-on shoulder angle does make me a bit cautious though.

Also what about severe quarting angles as well...... Your right that with a well placed arrow there isn't a issue, but we don't always hit where we aim everytime and I want a broadhead that no matter what I hit won't fail.....

JKAPP01 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 i like that video.....i have been stuck on muzzy forever......MIGHT try something new.....i have lost a couple deer with fixed blade....if anything my shots are a touch high and i think that that bigger cutting diameter might help.

IowaDeerHunter Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I am not sure any broadhead can break the should bone.....Prove me wrong because then I want to buy that broadhead. (really, I do want to know if it can be done). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Well, that's a cool video, but all it shows me is that you should'nt go hunting 3/4" plywood with a rage, lol. But seriously, my beloved muzzy's have failed me once or twice over the years (or more like I failed them) when I squared the shoulder bone just perfectly. You can only watch as the deer runs off with only a few inches of penetration leaving little to no blood behind. I'm never preached name brands to anyone on here when it comes to broadheads. They all have pros and cons. I bought some new rage heads this year because I just wanted to try them out for myself, but also got a pack new pack of muzzys too. The deer I've lost over the years have been few but I'd say there's been a couple in that dead-on shoulder shot, a few high and flat lung shots, leaving high exits/poor bleeding, and of course a gut shot or two as well. I think rage would help in the latter two, but I'm going to do my dead-level best to put it in the bread basket. If anything, I'll pull my pin over just maybe an inch or so back from the front leg just to avoid the risk. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 so who has squared a shoulder with one though?????? And I don't mean the blade..... I did opening week on a Doe and didn't get good result. these heads are awesome for their holes but not so great on busting a shoulder bone. I'd got that Doe if I'd hit her with a Muzzy in the exact same spot. I nev er recovered the arrow because it was still stuck in the shoulder and watched dangling as she ran off. I'm shooting 67# draw so I've got plenty of energy and I shot this Doe at 10 yards, I've taken this shot on several other deer with my Muzzy's and got pass throughs and a recovered deer. On the quatering away shots, I killed a Doe quartering away from me and had her fall within 60 yards after the shot. These are awesome heads, just not great for busting big bone.

You confirmed exactly what I've been thinking all along. There's a price must be paid for two linear inches of blade expansion. Oh well, I still plan on seeing what I can do with one this weekend.

dawgitall Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I have shot a deer to far front and in the shoulder. Found the deer no prob just wast not a pass through. At the time I was using Thunderheads; very good head. This year I'm trying the rage. I believe that most all the broadheads out there are fine. I've also asked myself; if my shot has been off in the past (not perfect), has the shot been in the shoulder or in softer tissue. With me there is no question, when I have been off my arrow tends to go into a softer tissue as opposed to the shoulder. That said. I'm gonna give the rage 2 blade a try and see what happens.

(really, I do want to know if it can be done). I shot a buck a few years ago with a 100gr NAP Shockwave expandible and it sure as heck broke bone. The deer was on 3 legs to begin with(got hit by a car, left rear leg). My arrow broke both front shoulder paddles and that buck went down like a ton of bricks. It penetrated to the fletch and one arrow did the trick. Upon butchering it, the broadhead went through BOTH shoulders and got the heart from the angle I was on. Using a 62/29" Mathews Outback with a Beman 380-16 shaft. Those were "O" ring expandibles with the bone breaking tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bghunter777 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I shot a buck 2 years ago with the 3 blade rage rite in the shoulder blew through them both buck ran about 40 yards and piled up! I dont recomend any broadhead for shoulder hits but if you do hit the shoulder the rage will perform as well as any! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right that with a well placed arrow there isn't a issue, but we don't always hit where we aim everytime and I want a broadhead that no matter what I hit won't fail..... That's what I've always said. I shoot muzzy 4 blades and have never had any reason to stop using them. I love them! I want a broadhead that by design will not fail, thats why I shoot fixed blade broadheads. To me even if a mechanical failed 1 time out of 100 its reason enough for me to steer clear. I know that there are a lot of bowhunters that love the rages. I'll admit, they do look and sound impressive, but mechanicals make me a bit nervous in certain situations, there is enough to account for as it is in bowhunting, the last thing I want to worry about is my broadhead performing properly. This year my dad is talking about giving them a shot so maybe I will see first hand what people like so much, and how they perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinakidd Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I shoot a 70# Dxt with 30" draw.......The first buck I shot was slightly quartering to me at 42 yards,and I hit the front shoulder,and got a complete pass through.The deer ran/crawled 10 yards. The big hog was hit square in the shoulder,and the only thing that didn't get through was the fletchings..There are Many variables out there,but the Rage broadheads are very tough in my experience.If the deer do run,the blood trail is easily followed...

PAarcher Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I've shot a few with the two and three blade they both are devestating!!! I shot a buck quartering away and with the read deploying blades it opened up a hole soooo big I could stick my whole hand in the entry hole!!! I think I'm going to stick with the RAGE for a while!
