I'm thinking of switching to these broadheads was wonder how hard are they to pull out of a broadhead target when practicing?I have a yellow jacket block target and was thinking it might break off the blades when you pull them out or it might be better to shoot into my 2" foam target and just unscrew the heads each time. Please give me your experiences with this.

THANKS, PK

Each pack comes with a practice head so there is not too much reason to shoot the real things into anything but an animal.
If you really want to shoot the real head at a target then, you could always push the head all the way through the target, unscrew the head and then remove the arrow.

ij wouldnt recommend shooting the real head if i were u. it will dull the blades and would be a pita to get out of a target. just trust uss on this site, they will shoot exactly like the practice head, which will most likely shoot exactly like your field tips.

If you mind tinkering with broad heads to make them work.
The 2 blade rage will loosen the roll pin holding the blades in after one shot of impact.
Simple solution is to flare the ends of the pin with a center punch.

Rage says they are aware of this problem and they are working on it.
"The newer releases of these blade are the ones with roll pins. Older ones have screws.

So to answer, i would not shoot these heads at a target. I would use the practice head.
They work fine except this small roll pin problem.
