bull$**** and I'll call that right there - why? because the laws of physics will not bend to a mechanical broadhead thats why!
using your exact setup, a German Kenetics SilverFlame will outpenetrate evevery single time against a Rage.
why? how can I say that?
PHYSICS that's why !
I've never driven a Yugo - why? becauce they're NOT good at protecting the occupants against side impact in collisions. I'll drive a 2500HD and be MUCH safer. I know this- I don't need to be in a wreck with a Yugo to say it.
I've never shot a Gobbler Guillotine (sp) at a deer - I never will either why? THEY WOULD SUCK that"s why !
I'll never use a Rage, because the qualities that MAKE a broadhead super effective are missing with the Rage.
Nothing will outpenetrate a 2 blade COI design - fact
3 blades vs 2 blade will always mean the 3 blade cuts more, uses more energy to do so and will NOT penetrate deeper because of that - fact
Rage designed a 40KE head - why? because the original Rage and the way it is designed rapidly loses momentum when it heads, why? BECAUSE IT HAS POOR PENETRATION qualities, that's why! So Rage designs another poor head and labels is 40KE to suck people into buying them for bows that really shouldnt be shooting anything but a 2 blade Zwickey or comparable head !
Why do I care? Because hunting is my life - its how I live, what I do. Rage and what they're being sold as is a lie. Pure and simple, they SUCK at penetration.
So many bowhunters have bought into the bull**** hype and they've lost deer because of the poorness of the Rage - the internet is ALIVE with threads about them
Tell me about those videos - great shots, all of them, suck penetraton.
WHY ?
bowhunting doesn't need poor products - Rage are poor products, that's why I care
You've never once, ONCE tried to show WHY a Rage is so good. Why?
I can answer that - because compare to a SilverFlame, a Zwickey, a SteelForce, an Ashby head etc they fail on every single level of what makes a great penetrating broadhead !
You really don't read very well.
I have never said that Rage will "outpenetrate" some of the heads you talked about. I did say:
1.
I think it is a OVERALL better head than any fixed I ever shot.
When you consider flight, penetration, damage, blood trail, how quickly it can put an animal down, and the room for error you have with a 2" cutting diameter BH. (Please don't give me the shoulder shot because ALL BH's can have problems with this area).
Also, penetration is only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to a great BH.
How can 100,000's of bowhunters all be wrong? Why do so many of the bowhunters that do it for a living (TV people) use the Rage if there livlihood depended on it? Please don't say money because that is simply one manufacture that is paying to sponsor the show. It certainly wouldn't come close to paying all the bills. And these guys on tv can pretty much pick any BH manufacture to sponsor them and pay them but they choose the Rage. If they were losing/wounding all these animals they couldn't make a show. They only have so much time (hunting season) to get their kills in.
I just don't understand why it is such a mission for some of you guys to continue the bashing of Rage heads when it has been proven out to be a very good head. Just like a lot of BH's out there.
Why don't you simply talk/brag about what you think is a great BH and leave the bashing out of it.
I am done with this thread. Good luck hunting!!
