I have shot the Rage 2 blade into the Morrell target and noticed that to blades weren't fully open upon entry. So I thought of something that would hopefully fix the problem.

What i was thinking.

What if I ditched the rubber O rings and just put one of those orthodontic elastics on the Rages (like the Snipers).

I wanted to try that out.

Heres what I did to try it.

I shot one rage 2 blade with O ring into the Morrell target,next I shot another 2 blade but this time with the O ring and elastic on, last I shot a 2 blade with the elastic only. All arrows were shot at a distance of about 5 yards.

Here are the results

2 Blade with O ring

Blades not fully open upon entry of target.


2 Blade with O ring and elastic

Same results as with O ring only.


2 Blade with elastic.

Blades fully open upon entry!!




Next thing I want to try is to see if 2 Blade with elastics only will open in flight when shot at further distances. This is the only thing I am concerned about. Another thing I am considering of doing is making a small grove in the "wings" were the elastic will sit and weighing them to make sure they all weigh the same.
