I bought 6 (+2 practice heads) for $60 on ebay.

I shot four deer and all died within sight of the stand. Blood trails were visbile from the stand with bino's. Time spent blood trailing: 0 minutes. What is your time worth?

You can re-sharpen the blades. I have not even opened the second three-pack.

They're worth every penny (IMO).

Maybe it's just me...I shot 2 of them this year, and they were DESTROYED. There were no blades to resharpen, and the ferrule was wasted. Replacement blades would have been useless. Now, I will say, in their defense, that one of them hit a rather large rock. Ok, not much is gonna stand up to that. BUT, I did that with a Magnus Stinger, and they replaced it, no questions. Will Rage do the same? No.

I just feel like it's time we take a bit of a stand, and say enough is enough. I mean, GIMME A BREAK! $40 for 3 freakin broadheads???? That's over $13 A PIECE.....

And the deer I've shot w/ Stingers and Slick Tricks all died w/in sight, and left phenominal blood trails as well. I only spent a bit more than half of that for those....$23 for 3....Are Rage great broadheads. Oh hell yes. But there is simply no way I'm paying that much for a broadhead. I'm just not gonna do it.

LOL....ah hell, that's funny right there. Maybe that did sound a bit.........rugged......I'm not upset, I just think it's ridiculous is all. But then again, I'm not too affected by it since I won't be buying them.

I killed a deer this past saturday in our late archery season and now the allen screws are stripped where I can't replace the blades. I called Rage's 800 number and they said send it in and they'll replace it free of charge, no questions asked.

By the way I love these heads, amazing blood trails. The price is extremely high, but I'll be shooting them in '09.

That's more reasonable, but.....how much is the shipping charge? Yer still gonna spend $40 for 3. I'm just sayin, we all have our limits. For me, the absolute cutoff amount I will spend for broadheads is 30 bucks.

Ok, now...if they're gonna do that, even when the head is destroyed for WHATEVER reason, I'll certainly reconsider.
