The Rage - Broadheads
#2
Chip,
The "Rage" broadheads are the creation of the Rocky Mountain / Barrie Archery guys. They have sold their main line of broadheads to Field Logic, and are now producing these select heads in their place under the Rage name.
Without even seeing one I can tell you 2 certainties about them knowing who is making them. 1) They'll be scary sharp. 2) They will work well with minimal energy used or wasted despite their large cutting diameters.
They are based upon the basic "Snyper" design which uses a rearward opening blade system that requires very minimal energy to deploy. They have larger cutting diameters than their Snyper cousins.
The 3 blade one is getting aserious look from me.
How they compare to Grim Reapers? I have no first hand experience with the Reapers but do with the basic design......I can guarantee the Rage heads will open easier and quicker on game. Beyond that is conjecture.
In any event the Rage head are exactly what many people were asking for from Rocky Mt for a couple years now........since the Snyper uses so little additional energy to work properly why not extend the cutting diameter a bit to make them even deadlier. If I didn't already have a bunch of the Snyper XP3's I'd pick up the 3 blade Rage version to try for sure. (I might still)

Matt,
Thanks for the update. From PA? I live in the Sinking Spring/Reading Area. Last night I spent a lot of time trying to Tune my Muzzy's and I can not get any consistency out to 45yds. My filed points all are in a 5 inch circle at 45, but the muzzys float around. I can see them during flight and they fly erratic and drift off the center. I also want a bigger broadhead and have heard great things about the mechanicals.
Thanks for your opinion. I am ordering the rage BH's in the next couple days. I am again going to Montana this year and I want the best. WT,MD and antelope. Went last year and had the best week of hunting in 30 years.
