RE: THINKING RAGE
I swear that deer is still dead, not even after picking the shot apart has it come back to life. It's Dead.
If you look at just the entrance it appears to be too far back, but I was not there, I have no idea how the deer was standing, and the deer is dead[&:] |

RE: THINKING RAGE
Take a 3 blade Rage and fully open one or two of the blades and then try to open the others.....What happens? It jams. This is why I switched to the 2-blade. I never had one jam but i dont want to take the chance. And Ive killed several deer with both. Great broadheads.

RE: THINKING RAGE
Too far back. And if his leg was back you wait one more step. Well really, you already missed the best step. LOL So it's what, your first or second year of bowhunting when this buck was killed and you alone have all the answers. You live in a target rich environment. You buggered up several deer last year, and you're already to tell Greg how to kill a deer? Come on. Give it a rest GMMAT. As someone on this site told me once, "You aren't as smart as you think you are". LOL This new found love broadhead of yours may indeed be fine. The whole in the one picture is obviously a glancing blow. It really doesn't count.Your shot on the buck is far enough back and low enough to almost be a bad shot by the time it got to the other side. The shot took out a lung and the heart. What would have been "better"? Look onyour left in my avatar. He went 40-50 yds. I'll try and do better, though!;) And.....If I hunt 2 or 40 more years.....I'd take that shot on every deer......every time (in the same situation). Hell.....I'm gonna aim there, anyway. |
RE: THINKING RAGE
Good shot...not so good of a shot? Of course attemted shot placement is decided by the angle and distance from the deer. I wasn't shooting at the deer to judge the angle and distance, so I won't say it was in the wrong spot. That being said if it went on thru the heart it must of been the right spot.

RE: THINKING RAGE
slightly quartering away, its a great shot!! its on the walldead, nice buck by the way. Hell when they are severly quartering away, you aim even farther back!!
|
RE: THINKING RAGE
yep bloodcreek, if they are really quatering away, then you should aim really far back.
|
RE: THINKING RAGE
Of course I didn't read 23 pages of squabbles. I just saw the deer that was supposedly dead but shot twice and then another where he talked of hard to find
Me, too, VA....and that's THE reason I switched. When I center punched this buck in '06 and followed a VERY sparse trail to find him......I decided I wanted a BH with a bigger cutting diameter. I started thinking about the Rage heads, then. How much better can you hit a deer than this? This was a complete pass-thru with a 3 blade muzzy. Blood trail was sparse to nearly non-existent. Something had to change. I made the switch. |

suggest everybody take a day off and go walk in the woods, this place has been too damn touchy lately. I never know what I am getting when I log in.... am I logging in to HNI or "the other site"?:eek::eek::eek: Soon as I can I'm gone from this site for awhile. Seriously guys if you can get out in the woods go. You might have to deal with this sometime and sit here thinking "geez I wish I could go for a walk."  |
