Default RE: GRIM REAPER VS. RAGE

I'm on record as really disliking the rage design so if you must go with a mechanical and not a fiixed headthen Reapers hands down. I tested both, the reapers blades are much muchstronger than the rage and the heads stay together in the quiver unlike the rage heads. The rage blades break if they come into contact with bone, they work fine on perfect hits but on marginal hits, they break and it's on the marginal hits that you need the cutting power more than anything. There wereseveral exampleson this site alone this year where people hit the front shoulder on quartering frontal shots and the rageblades broke off beforemaking it into the boiler room.

Another thing to consider on the rage,lets say you shoot, make a marginal hit or miss and get the opportunity at a second shot, are you going to have time to pull an arrow out of your quiver,reset it's blades like you have to before putting the arrow on your bow and firing thesecond shot? Ihighly doubt it.
