Default rage question

I just got a pack of 3 blade rages, and is it just me, or is the tip on these really dull?

The two packs that I had weren't. Please elaborate.

The bodies of the broadheads aren't blue, by chance?

The leading edge is dull on the Rages. Or atleast the newer ones. Why, I don't know. That's my only issue with them. I can't fathom why they don't sharpen them.

The tips on the pack of heads I just got are about as sharp as the practice head. they wont cut paper, wont make a mark (let alone grab) a fingernail.

Take them back. Something is most likely wrong.

I would be more willing to accept it as a faulty pack, but all 3 packs are the same way. [:@]

Personally I think if I'm going to shell out $40 for a 3 pack of broadheads, every edge on the dang things should be razor sharp!

I shoot rage 2"... i noticed the tips on mine were also "duller". I never really got around to returning them so i kept using them. Later that season i put a nice hole in a doe. i don't think the dull tips will be a problem. but if u can bring them back and find a package with sharper i would definately bring them back especially because youre paying 39.99.
