I dont think My rages like me....

I've now come to the total of roughly $45 for lost arrows tipped with Rages 2 blades. I shot at a possum tonight and wasnt even close, I never have any trouble with my strikers but seems to be with the rages the actual bladed rages fly differently than the practice tip.

Just felt like Venting, now I'm out 2 maxima hunters to boot.

shoot the rage heads at a broadhead target before you hunt with them, mine shoot the same and I'm sure you'll hear the same from 90% of the guys on here

Mine shoot the same. And a question, why were you using a rage broadhead to shoot at a OPPOSUM?

Mine shoot the same as field points.
Try shooting at your practice target some more and leave the opossums alone.

I hope that opossum is in season otherwise it might cost you more than $45 in arrows and tips.

Stay away from those possums, no need for that right now, it's deer season.

Having said that, I've had the same problem. My broadheads are flying a little different than the practice tips, and making a hissing sound as they're in flight...on occation. I haven't pinpointed the problem yet, but I did hear that some of the faster bows will make the two blade rage blades come apart from the o-ring during flight. Again, I just heard that and don't know how much truth there is to that assumption. If I can't iron it out in the next few days, it's right back to the thunderheads.

x2.. Theyre $13 dollar heads and youre gonna waste one on a opossum??

I shoot A/C/C arrows with a Slick Trick, wrapped, and blazers..total cost is $20 a darn arrow..too costly for possums..but I have been know to waste one or two on a stupid woodchuck so I can't preach to you.
Speakin of possums..I had a DNR guy tell me once that a possum can't give you rabies as rabies affects the brain and a possums is too small to get rabies...don't know..anybody know? I know they are hard to kill. As a kid you could beat one in the head on your trapline, come back to get it and it would be gone. They have extremely strong jaws though and their bite is bad if you would get bit.

Opposums are actually immune to rabies. I have read this somewhere as well, soto my understanding they cannot be infected with rabies.

I shoot the Rage 2 through an 82nd and have no issues with flight or noise.
