Don't know how it's possible. It guts and skins them all in one shot.

Lost?? Do I know it's dead? No. So did I "lose" it????????????

It's happened on two occasions with me. I have two "unknowns" with this head.

Rage Heads are guaranteed to drop the deer with 150 yrds with a blood trail you can track while running, If you lose a deer with a Rage Broadhead you need a new bow..... J/K I have heard enough good things that I am going to switch to them.

Poor shot placement can lead to a lost deer whether you shoot a needle at it or a machete...
Put it where it goes, and a fieldpoint would do the job.

Rages arent immune to bad shots, as are any BH....unless a BH fails (opens in flight, falls apart), how can ANY BH be blamed for a lost deer?

I have heard of more deer lost this year with rage broadheads than all other heads combined. I think I'll stick to muzzys.

You"™d have to be an absolute fool to think no deer have been lost that were shot with ANY broadhead.
Rage is not immune to hitting a deer and not killing it. Or not killing it in a manner that leaves it able to be found. Tribal nailed that one, I swear some of you people believe all you have to do is point your bow in the general direction of a deer and you"™ll kill it if you are shooting a Rage B-head.

from what i've read, i'm going to buy a rage head, screw it on my arrow and prop up the arrow along a known deer trail.

Apparently the deer, realizing that it is futile to resist, will run headlong and IMPALE ITSELF , severing arteries, lungs , heart, spine, kidneys and pancreas .

this should cut my hunting time down 84% freeing up more time to stalk the Olson twins.


THANK YOU, RAGE!!!!!
