Default Rage BH for bear and other big game

ok I have been bowhunting for about 12 years now and just switched to the expandable last year with the rage 2 blade now I am not sure about hunting bears, moose, etc. Is there anything this thing should not be used on or will it always do the job.

Thanks for the help.

Default RE: Rage BH for bear and other big game

I'm wondering the same thing. They put a deer on the ground quicker than anything I have seen so far. And they seem to out penetrate the older "over the top" expandables like the Spitfire. I have also noticed that some of the celebrity bowhunters used them on African plains game with good results.

But torture tests done by people like 5 Shot suggest they are not as tough as heads like the Montec or Hellrazor. I'm planning to try them this fall on elk - but also planning to carry both types of heads in my quiver, since they all shoot to the same spot. For bear, I think I would just stick to the Montec.

I think you will be just fine hunting anything with the Rage..they are devastating in what they do.
