Rage broadhead did NOT open
I have been really excited about the new rage broadheads until now. I just shot it at two different targets two times each and it did NOT open. I am shooting the three blade. I first shot it at a foam block from Walmart. It didn't open. I cleaned it up and reset it. I tried again and it didn't open. I then moved to my "Block" target. I put a piece of paper in the front of it to be sure I saw the cut pattern. The broad head did not open on either of the two shots. One shot I checked the broadhead before messing with it. It was sticking out the back of the block. It had one blade fully extended, one half extended, and one still locked by the o-ring. I am thinking if it doesn't open in these solid targets, it will never open in a deer unless it hits bone. What do you think? I am shooting about 295 fps and about 420 grains.

WOW, that's the first I heard. I know the RM Snyper 2 blade opens every time I've shot it and on the thinnest materials. I'm interested in hearing from others who shot the Rage, RJ, you have right?

All I can say is shoot fixed blades. Thats always a chance you take shooting expandables.

Maybe you have a case of too muck k/e for them to work properly (can't get out of their own way fast enough)[8D]
