RE: THINKING RAGE
 

And there it is...all wrapped up in a neat little ball....It's the price we pay for technology. NOTHING is full proof, it's up to each one of us to decide where we draw the line as to what's acceptable and what's not. To me it makes nodifference,anything with moving parts can (and will at some point) fail. It's a calculated risk we take. I was just bringing to the surface the hypocrisy we are all (at one point or another) guilty of when it comes to our choice of components.

With all do respect Mr Bouncer sir.... your right!:D and thats one tribe I'd hate to **** with!

I'm all for anyone shooting what they are happy with, one thing I don't get is the "moving parts" argument. It has more moving parts, it could fail. Look around, it's 2008 the wholeworld is moving parts.Coulda mechanical fail? Sure it could, but I havehad fixed blades breakand perform less than100% as well.With all of the money these companies put into development and engineering most products have proven themselves effective long before the customer even sees them. I prefer broadheads I have "history" with, they fly good and have been effective in the past, occasionally I will try something new but you better believe my quiver will havemostly my old faithfuls. For the record the only thing that ever turned me off to Rage broadheads were the recalls but my hunting partner uses them and kills deer consistently(he also did this before he shot Rages) and loves them. He is also the guy with the new set-up every season so newer things appeal to him more than me.

Lmfao!! So what BH is it Joe? Stinger, buzzcut or the regular 2 blade you were telling me about that your going to use with the longbow? I looked on there website and I can't see any head that is called a Magnus II. You got me confused here big fellar. Its probably right in front of my nose and I'm not seeing it.[:@]

RE: THINKING RAGE
 

I think the difference is that if any of the bow stuff failed you likely wouldnot have an arrow in the deer whereas if the broadhead failed to open...........

IMO even if the broadhead blades failed to deploy/open, if the shot is placed well the result may be a bit harder track job but still a dead and recovered deer.

RE: THINKING RAGE
 

That is probably 99.9% of the trouble with our world today BigJ.(Bowhunting related or not) I don't have any reason to switch broadheads though. But if I decided to, I just don't think I would want to add (to my dropaway rest) "another" variable. That's just me though.

Speaking of "another indian" as in another variable or piece of equipment that I chose to shoot with. Just saying, we don't have to have the 2" cut to be successful, so why add that "indian" to something that already gets the job done?

NEW, it took me a while to get over the fact of the recall on the 3 BLADE heads to even try the 2 blade. My buddies were using them and when we would foolow the blood trails I was in shock. Then see the pictures gmatt and others posted made me try the 2 blade. I did this late season and took a Doe and was very pleased with the outcome. You can't beat a 3 foot wide blood trail, I wished I would of taken pictures of that! I still have the old trusty Slick Tricks in the quiver as well, but neither will be afield this year.[8D] The 200gr Magnus II's will be in my quiver this season thats on the Longbow!:)
