I have never used the rage. Have thought about them seriously this last season but never made the move. My cousin uses these 2 blade Rage and he loves them. The only bad thing I can see about them is from the way he describes them is that he is no longer dedicates himself to the perfect shot anymore. He refers to it as getting the broadhead into the general impact kill location because of the 2 inch cutting diameter. He got a 150 class buck this year by hitting the deer too low near where the front leg meets the body and the blade severed the artery. All the luck. I am sticking with the Slick Tricks for now. I still like they way they fly and the huge hole tehy make as well.
