Default RE: OK Rage rubber band guys....what size

whatever Rocket uses for their broadheads is what i use........any place that sells Rocket broadheads should have little packs of these hanging right next to the replacement blades.
Gander Mt. had some last time I was there a few weeks ago.

Rick James and myself have been putting them on the blade "shoulders" up near the tip of the broadhead but it seems like that spot might actually be a bit overkill for holding them closed.
It puts a lot of tension on the blades inward and the last couple deer RJ has shot he said the entrances haven't been QUITE as impressive as without the bands. (could be coincidence?)
We're both going to try the center position around the little built in "notch" where the blades cross.

I was messing with the bands in that spot and it appears they hold them closed nicely but when the blades start to deploy outward are cut instantly which is probably a better scenario.
