I don't use rage heads but a guy i work with does. He shot 2 deer with them last year and both times they needed to be replaced. He did recover both deer and still does use them yet. I wont try them because of the price, and i just don't believe in shooting a broadhead with moving parts. I shoot montechs and love them. They are tough and fly great. I have one montech that has been through 2 deer and all i had to do was clean it and resharpen it and its ready to go again.
