Default I dont like change

I am the typethat if it is not broke do not fix it. Well I currently useWasp SST jackhammers and I have
decided to switch to the RAGE broadheads in mid season. After some of the posts that I have seen especially Jeff's (GMMAT) I figured I could not go wrong. I will keep you posted on how these work for me. (Go Team Rack em Up)

I know Rage direct doesn't have 2x bladers readily available. We ordered some and haven't recieved them yet. I grabbed up the last 2x packs of 2 bladers in their last shipment. Lots of 3 bladers left though, my bud Dan is going to try them this weekend. I hope he gets a poke at one with them, I curious to see what they will do.......

Last year about this time they were going on ebay for $100 for 2x packs.

Don't worry, most likely, the blades cannot be replaced because the screw binds on the blades and then breaks...

Although I am very impressed with some of the entrance/exit holesI've seen with the Rage heads, I'm going to stick with Muzzy. I've had great success with them and haven't had any problems with bloodtrails, passthru's, etc.

I also like the fact that if my BH does not get damaged (bent, rocks, etc) I can resharpen and use them again.

My main reason for this change is the 2" cutting Diameter. My pro shop owner made a statement this past
August that you want to have something with a big cutting diameter before I choose which broadheads I want to use. At the time I choose wasp because that is what I always have used and switching from aluminium to carbon arrows thought 1 3/4" cut would be good with the jackhammers. Now I see this 2" cut and in about a hour I will know how they fly and if all works out I am going to use them.

I disagree, I use Snypers, same head, I've changed the blades on many of the heads.
