Default Rage Broadheads increase unethical shots?

Now that we have seen a number of posts where people have been showing their shot placementswith RAGE Broadheads do you think hunters will take less than ethical shots because they cause so much damage?

I dont think anyone goes out in the woods with the thought of making an unethical shot.

Things happen in the woods and some times bad shots happen.

I dont think anyone who intentionally takes an unethical shotcan be labeled a sportsman/hunter but I do wonder about the possibility. I was watching on tv yesterday and the guy gutshot the deer and was talking about how they was a great 'bad shot broadhead'. I am going to order some in the near future after seeing the damage they do but my shot placement will remain as precise and efficient as I can shoot.

I know bad shots happen but that can happen for many reasons. What I am talking about are shots where guys lower their standards of what a good shot is? I know some guys who will shot a deer in the ass just hoping it will expire especially now with these broadheads. I equate the rage broadhead to a titlelist pro v when those came out in the golf world.....everyone buys them thinking it will make them a better golfer much like WHAT the rage may do for the hunting community.

this is pretty stupid in my opinion... this never crossed my mind. the only thing i like about expandables is it cuts more verse a fixed broad head. never has the thought of making a bad shot in hopes of killing or wounding a deer enough to die....................

I have not changed a bit in my shot selection since switching to Rages. They have a nice wide cut and create axe wound like entries, but you still have to put it in the boiler room.

Rage isn't the first broadhead with a 2in cutting diameter why doesit get the blame for ignorant hunters?

Exactly.

It's not the broadhead that makes the decision.

I am not blaming ignorant hunters at all, I use them and love what they do! I have used many a broadhead and these are the best I have ever used. My stance is this, instead of someone waiting for the right oppurtunity will they just take what they have right than and there regardless ofthe percentages. On the flip side of it, they probably will increase harvest because they do what they do and get the job done.
