Absolutely,
And on heavy bone such as shoulder etc. I have seen too many mechanicals fail. By fail, I mean either physically break or just plain fail to penetrate because it was too large of cutting surface.I will stick with what I have seen outperform the large mechanicals over time. I have used both on many deer and will always go with first-hand experience of 30 years of bowhunting. Good luck.
I might be the only person I know of who's actually broken a Rage head. I spined a 200# buck last year and lodged it halfway into his spinal column. Still......dead deer. Other than that.....I don't know of anyone who's broken one.
MANY, many guys are using these heads and have used them in the "last three years" (about how long they've been out). I've been saying for a while, now.......I'd love to see some of the damage the "30 years" tested guys heads have been inflicting, for comparison. Not too many takers from the peanut gallery of haters. Not surprising.
So.....let's raise your hand if you've used the Rage head (2-blade) and you've actually broken one. I keep hearing of their frail makeup......but have found it "nearly" impossible to get one to break. Again.....if you've been killing deer (not just hunting) for 30 years and have photos of the destruction your head is inflicting......start yourself a thread and post 'em up! I'd love to see them!
Wow, isnt this special. You already have testimony of two other guys breaking them. Apparently if you have had poor experiences and know of many other poor experiences with mechanicals you are a "peanut gallery hater" now?? Interesting.Guess that makes theGame Commissions of some states andProvinces haters. Maybe those of us that have actually been KILLING deer for 30 years or more already understand that pictures of gigantic groutesque wounds on animals serve no purpose and remain unimpressed. For me it is a juvenile thought process of "I can kill a deer deader than you can, and look at these awesome pictures to prove it." I would take a 1" hole cut through a shoulder and lungs over a huge mechanical using up most of its kinetic energy on heavy bone ANY day. Makes perfect sense and will kill a deervery dead. Good luck on getting veterans to post pictures of wounds. Most have no care or desire to do that and it seems to be a relatively new phenomenon I may never understand. I truely believe that some of you are in your garage right now working on the new "Whitetail-Guillotine" and cant wait to be the first to post up some awesome pictures of the deer that you just severed the head off. Man, that sucker will REALLY be dead. Just imagine the huge amounts of blood and how impressed everyone will be. How about exploding tips like Rambo used, now that could be cool. You wouldnt even have to haveANY tracking skills.Also,the drag back to the truck would be so much easier.Hey, arent you the same guy that posted the other day that NO broadhead will go through heavy bone? And then most of us remembered several times we had seen or done just that??? Oh well, sometimes we just have to learn from our mistakes and move on. Reminds me of the old show,"Father Knows Best."
PGH
