My wife and I shot 4 black bears in Alberta with Rage Broadheads last May. All kills were clean pass throughs with incredible entry and exit holes. She was shooting 55 pounds and I was shooting 70 pounds. However, you can be assured that we both shot them before we hunted with them just like Rob/Pa Bowyer said. Never go into the woods with a broadhead that you haven't shot out of your bow. Eliminate the surprises.
