Default Rage Broadhead Problem!!

Has anyone else had a problem with the rage broadheads opening while during a stalk or when you put them in the quiver. I love the way they fly and the damage they do, but last year the blades were always falling out and i was having to mess with them all the time. Any Suggestions or am I the only one with this problem?

Are you using a mechanical friendly quiver?

Probably not. Using the stock quiver that came with my AR. Just has the foam insert. Where can a guy find a mechanical freindly insert or new quiver?

Yep....Mathews T5.....

Grt......You can take a old fixed blade Broadhead and heat it up and push it into the foam,do it once all the way in then turn the broadhead and go 1/2 way down,this will give you a place for fixed and mech BHs..
Depending on quiver you should get 3-5 nice BH holders in the foam.........

I had that issue a couple times and just twisted the "o" ring a bit and the problem went away. I think it may get worn a bit and lose its grip in one spot.

This is why I've been too afraid to try the Rages. I've read way too many reports of this, and I just don't want to take that chance.

what i have found is that the problem is that most people dont check the o-ring and make sure that the blade is all the way in place. I was afraid of them to but then i did and i'm glad i did. they just aren't for some people.

I had that problem just turn your O ring a little bit and you will be fine. Just remember when you shoot something check the O ring if it is cut or damanged change it. I shot 2 doe with the same blades and sameO ring last year. Just washed the blades off , and turned the ring a little ,they locked just fine.
