I was wondering what your experience with Rage broadheads are?
How do you like the performance, 2-blade or 3-blade, flight of the arrow, ect..... I'm thinking about buying some and looking for your input.
Thanks!

[/align]I have replied to several posts about these heads. I know more than one person who has had a problem with them. One of them is the archery pro at my local shop. I was talking with him about them before he hunted with his three blades. I thought at the time that they took to much energy to open. I stabbed one into a heavy cardboard box three times before it would open. He took them out and shot a doe.He never recovered the deer,and found six small drops of blood. That doesn't add up considering the 1.5" cutting diameter. He took the other two heads{ since he didn't recover the arrow as well } and tried the same thing I did with the cardboard. He then threw the other two heads in the trash. He told me he spoke with a rep. who finally admitted the might have had a bad batch of broadheads. He { the rep.} said the blades might have been to loose, causing the blades to jam in place.He offered to exchange the three blades for some Two blades. Bowhunters are fickel though, fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me. I offer the same alternative to every one asking about Rage heads. Try RockyMoutain Snypers two blades or Snyper xp3 three blades. Thse are what the rage heads a modeled after and a superior head in many ways.The makers of the Block bought Rocky Mountain Broadheads and decided the Snyper line wasn't marketed well so they came up with Rage heads.I have heard bad things about the two blades as well But I can't remember who told me and exactly what went wrong. I think it wasn't opening the first time and the second time it opened in flight. Good luck with your search and please take a serious look at the Snypers. I f you can't find them in the stores try on line, it's worth the time you'll spend on them.

My experience has been different. I have shot twice, and both times they tore a HUGE hole in the deer. I mean HUGE! The only complaint I had was they seemed to want to open up in the quiver. If you think about it though, the quiver top has foam in it and if you insert the broadhead into the foam it can cause it to deploy. I tried the Tekan II and hated it! It didn't deploy and I felt lucky to retrieve the deer. I will continue to use the Rage. I would rather use a fixed blade, but at 295FPS, I can't seem to be consistent with fixed-blade broadheads. The Rage practice head flew perfect out to 60 yards(My target range has 10 yards out to 60 yards).

Good Luck!
