Default Rage or T-Locks?

I have both Shuttle T-Locks and Rage 2 blade broadheads. Which is going to provide me more knockdown power this season?

Hit em in the heart or lungs and I don't think it would matter which one you used

You won't get much KNOCKDOWN power out of an arrow!!

You want TIP OVER power!

If I remember correctly you aren't pulling much weight on your bow. The T-Locks might be a better option considering that. More penetration.

Shuttle T's. Have used them for a couple years now. Last year I spined a buck at 40 yards with a pass thru. Droped like a ton of bricks.

What do you mean "you aren't pulling much weight"? I was at 38 lbs a month or so ago due to the shoulder being messed up and with a lot of icing, stretching, gritting my teeth, soaking my boxers, etc., I got it up to 48 lbs. That cannon I have for a right arm is now so massive it scares 3 and 4 year olds!!!

Thanks JM

I used Rage last year, it did fine even with the low KE I get from my bow.

At 48lbs i would go with a smaller head than the rage. I shot three deer last year with the big 2 blade rages and didn't get one pass thru with my bow set at 70lbs. Those heads are so large that it requires more energy to penetrate deeply. I doubt you would have much problem if you could pinpoint them in between some rib bones.
