I don't admit it. [:-] I've used rage broadheads the last two years and i am not impressed.
yes, they make a huge entrance hole but it does you no good when the deer is hit high and there's no exit hole. I much prefer a broadhead that will blast through the bone (and come out the other side).
It happened to me last night. i hit a doe high in the shoulder with muzzy 2 blade. not a good shot, but my penetration was absolutely, flat out terrible. I've had muzzy's blow through shoulders at 170 fps, now i shoot 270 fps and I can't? When that deer was running away I thought the arrow was going to fall out, that's how little of it penetrated. i'm going back to muzzy.
I had a hard time recovering 2 of the 3 deer i've shot with rage.
I think I'd just spend more spare time practicing my shooting.
Blaming the BH (BH choice is unimportant for this exercise) is a cop out.
since you quoted me, i kind of thought you were talking about me. maybe i'm crazy.
...you're going to get the last word in aren't you?
