2. I shoot mostly from a groundblind with shoot through mesh. Will the rage open up going through the mesh? I have heard some will and others will not.
You can't shoot expandables through shoot through mess windows. The blades will deploy.

I am not sure what kind of arrow speed you need to shoot a Rage or any expandable.

i use 2 blade one less blade to worrie about so i couldent tell you about the 3 blade
I like that answer. That's exactly why I use a fixed balde head. No blades to worry about. ;)
LMFAO......ditto on the fixed blades:D For me, I could careless ifthey made holes big enough to put a grapefruit through, I wouldn't shoot them or any expandable head. If you place the arrowright, they will go down.

I'm getting some 2 blades, ever since the 3 blade recall, I think everyone went to 2 blade and has loved them. Not sure how they do now, but once something gets a bad rap, its hard to live down.

Most guys I knoew that have used the real tips vs practice, end up just using field tips since they shot the same in their opinion.

That's just not entirely true. Most Rocket broadheads work perfectly fine. As do a couple of others.

Thanks for sharing.............you can stick with your fixed heads and I'll stick with the head (Rage 2-blade) that arguably is the most devastating head and puts them down quick!

The Rage is about the most simple head to use. As long as you lock the blades down they will NOT open in flight and they will open everytime on impact.

Well thank you for sharing ;)

So let me see, screwing on a fixed head isn't simple? No rubber bands toadjust, no worry if blade(s) willfunctionandbelieve it not, they fly exactly the same as my field points.If yourbow,your arrow andbroad heads are tuned right and you know how to shoot; you should never have an issue. NowI can understandthat you like them and thatfeel they’re the best thing around and that'sgreat! I hope they continue to be a Gob send for you.

However, if you look at most of thetalk about expandable (not just Rage) heads, it always the same issue....didn't open or opens upbefore it hits the target.Doesn’t matter which the case maybe, it all boils down to unreliable. My fixed heads or any of the broad heads put out havenever beenrecalled, always right on and never a worry about functioning correctly and at only 1 1/6” (no need for 2” blades) cutting diameter, they are arguably is the most devastating head and puts them down quick!
