Default Rage question.

I was wondering if I could shoot my Rages into the Morrell Yellow Jacket BH target? Will it damage the blades when I pull it out?

Shouldn't damage them but it will dull them. You will need to replace the blades prior to shooting at an animal.

If you are handy with a stone you can resharpen but I would recommend replacing them with the factory sharpened blade.

Ok but it wouldn't damage the blades while I'm pulling them out?

You can shoot rage into targets, it will dull the over time, but it will be ok to shoot them several times. I hunt with them and I have shot several into targets no problems. but they with get junk from the target stuck inbetween the blades and you will have to clean it out, and lastly the bands will break after several shots into a target. but the practice tips fly the same on my bows as the real broadhead

Shooting any expandable into a target several times is going to dull the blades. As already stated, the real headache is cleaning them so they will completely close. Just use a field point that is the same weight as the broadhead you will be using. It will fly nearly identical.
