RE: Rage 2-blade mechanicals
The rage 2 is a great show stopper head. I use it on Turkey's and can't say enough good about it. They shoot very well...not really any different than my field points. It makes a great entry and exit hole. I have friends that use the 3 blade for deer and made some marginal shots that didn't make 75 yds. The only thing I don't like about them is they are a little expensive and I would say fragile. After you shoot it once you have to basically replace the rubber gasket and the blade tips have broke off after being in a Turkey. I had one of the allen heads break off inside while trying to remove the blades too. I don't think you will find another mechanical that works better though. I really like the G5 striker fixed head too....very nice shooting broadhead and durable.

RE: Rage 2-blade mechanicals
I cant say how well they work on other animals, but I went on a russian boar hunt this past weekend, and one of the guys with me was trying out the rage 2 blade. His first shot was at 17 yds, and it only penetrated about 5 inches. That hog was still running around 2 days later when we left. The hog he ended up getting he put three arrows in the guide put a 357shell in it, and never got an exit wound. The other guy with me got a near pass through at 40 yds with the G5 tekken 2 mechanicals. It still took one more arrow and a 357to finish it off. I used GrimReaper razorcut 100grain and got a near pass through at 30yds, but my arrow shattered. It still took a second arrow as well to end it, but at least not a bullet. I can say, that even though the Rage didnt penetrate well, it had a MUCHlarger entrance hole. I have no doubt they would tear up a softer hided animal like a deer.

RE: Rage 2-blade mechanicals
Actually after conducting my own survey and opinion post i just got back from RichardsSportinggoods store just a few hours ago. I bought the Rage 2 mechanical, and i bought a set of the Muzzy Fixed 3 blade broadhead. The Mechanical was a snap, and i'll tell you i just spent 1.5 hours Trying to put together oneof the Muzzy broadheads, igave up for the night, i guess im tired and brain is asleep, i just cant figure it out. these are my first broadheads ever.. just been shooting with the field tips since i just got my first bow a few months ago. Goodluck and get the Rage2
