Rage vs. Practice tip
 
I shot this at 50 yards one was a rage 2 blade and the other arrow is a practice tip. I was aiming at the middle dot.

Good thing this wasn't a fixed blade BH - probably would have lost some fletching. Nice to know . . . . I was trusting they would hit the same, but never confirmed it.

It looks like it is shooting good. Question, I just got the Rage 2 Blade last week, are you shooting the practice tip that comes with it(blue one that doesnt open) or an actual sharp Rage 2 Blade? And is it ok to shoot only the practice tip, or should i also shoot the actual broadhead?

I lost my practice tip (dumb me) so I was forced to shoot one of the hunting heads. I would just shoot the practice tip and save the sharp ones for hunting.

My RAGE 2 broadheads should be on my doorstep when I get home! Hope they shoot like that for me too.

Hey one more thing...shoot one of those RAGE broadheads into an area with little holes and pull it out then take a picture, wanna see what the hole looks like.

I got the same results a 50 yards. They are the real deal. That's some nice shooting at 50 yards too.

My wife and I each shot two Black Bears in Alberta last May. Take my word for it. The entry and exit holes were incredible. I have been shooting Rocky Mtn Titaniums and G5's the past couple of years, but not anymore. I am sold on the Rages.

good going on practicing with the head you plan to hunt with. I never go into the woods without testing the equipment first.

Nice!

After looking REAL close, I could finally make out what look to me the blade cuts.... looks like the arrow on the right was the Rage and the other was the field point.

Diehard I'm taking you mean "practice point" not as the rage point (since you lost it), but as a "field point" correct?

very nice, i'm starting to like the looks of the ragesmore and more. I want to compare the 3 blade rages and my current head, g5 strykers, in field this year. my only question is do the blades lock in the open position once they open?

No when when you pull them out of the target the blades fold forward.

I shot my practice tip about 6 times yesterday and it didn't shoot any different than my field tips.

Very impressed!

My only question about the rage bh's, What happens to the O-rings after a shot? Do they break, or get lost?

diehardhunter 08-21-2007 08:55 PM

RE: Rage vs. Practice tip
 
7 point monster- Haha I dont know what that blue thing is ill look at it tomorrow but I am almost positive its not it.

I shoot the Rocky Mountain Snypers. I've taken 5 bucks with them, incredible results. Same head and slightly less expensive.;)

I thought about trying them but I was a little concerned since I only shoot 60 lbs. too. I called them and they said 60 lbs. was plenty

I am going to try these Rocky Mt Sniper BH this yr,
I have been shooting otherheads for the past few yrs with good results."Just want to try something new"[&:]
But don`t see much difference in these heads at all other than maby a wider cut, The Rage 2 blade has a 2inch cut where the Rocky Mt sniper has 1 3/8 cut Which ismore than enough to getthe job done.
I checked BPS-price on these heads? Rage 2 blade $34.99 and the Rocky Mt Sniper $29.99 so iwill assum the extra cut on the rage is the difference in the price?

No when when you pull them out of the target the blades fold forward.

Not disputing this with you (because you were there) but I'm not visualizing it. I thought the Rages were basically the same BH as the RM Snyper just with a bigger cut. With the way they open (Snypers CAM design) I didn't think the bladeswould fold forward after opening ? Is the Rage a CAM design also?

Here is what they look like when I pull them out of my block.
