Rage broadhead tip.......
 

I needed some new bands for my 3 blade rage, and was having a difficult time finding them. I went to the hardware store of all places.....They are #5 O-rings......Just in case anyone needed to know.

Or........... you could shoot slick tricks and not worry about it;)

Thanks for the heads up. I need new bands for 2 of mine they should give you more than 3 replacements.

RE: Rage broadhead tip.......
 

What ar eyou guys doing with the replacement bands. The need for such would indicate to me that you were replacing blades!....lol

I can't find any, ANYWHERE!

RE: Rage broadhead tip.......
 

Yeah, I guess that would work. Do they make a slick trick w/ an inch and a half cutting diameter???;)

Jeff, mine keep deploying when I put it back in my quiver after a hunt......The 3 originals were cut when I took them out of the package anyway....I'm just not a fan of that whole system, but I've got them so I'll use them.

RE: Rage broadhead tip.......
 

Does your quiver have foam in it? Mine kinda (it's a bohning) keeps my heads "suspended"...and I've never had that problem.

RE: Rage broadhead tip.......
 

Yes, mine is foam. If I hit the grooves "just" right, they don't deploy....

I'm using Rages in a Kwikee 4 arrow quiver with the dual grippers and no foam. They stay closed in that easily. Most quivers would be a PITA though I'm guessing.

Those broadheads are all the rage ( no pun intended ) around here in NJ. No one has'em. The 2 blade types are virtually impossible to come by.

How do they work? A band holds the blades closed until it impacts a deer and than they deploy? They are rear deploying correct? Supposed to eliminate problems with the blades glancing to one direction or another?

I shoot fixed and have never messed with the newer mechanicals. ( Spitfires, Rage, Etc. )

Yeah, the Drury boys started shooting them, now suddenly they're the coolest thing since sliced bread. Mine were given to me or I wouldn't be shooting them. I know they make some serious entry and exit wounds, but the blade retention is a serious flaw.....worthless, actually. The bands that come installed on the heads are cut, right out of the package, and the 3 replacements aren't much better.

And, to replace the band, you have to remove the broadhead, install a field point, roll the band onto the arrow, reinstall the broadhead, get those god aweful blades closed (they're weird, like....scissors) then roll the o-ring into place.......SCREW THAT!! When these bad boys are gone, it'll be Hammerheads all the way......
