RE: THINKING RAGE
ORIGINAL: annika3 Please don't give me that they may open in flight. The Rage will NOT open in flight if the blades are closed. If you are going to use this, I can say the same thing about fixed heads. If they are not assembled correctly and the collar isn't locking blades down or the blades are not set correctly you can get bad arrow flight or lose blades on impact. |
RE: THINKING RAGE
I expect you to stick up for them you work for THE company. I have nothing in General against Rage other than they do fit into the mechanical category. Are you telling me there has been no failures? No recalls? No problems since? I have always appreciated a dealer/etc. that was experienced giving me his opinion and then I could choose for myself. I didn't always listen, but then a lot of times I wish I had.
Everyone continues to fail to tell me what BIG advantage I would have using mecahanicals?? Fooling with rubber bands? Fooling with tiny screws? Dealing with flimsy blade? I am sure no mechanical has ever failed!!:eek: Come on annika sell me! That's your job:DTell me what will I get from from using the latest fad out there? Maybe someone needs to start the thread about Broadhead sharpness again! Then we can argue if we shoot fast enough our broadheads don't need to be sharp:eek:I have to admit some of things argued on the forums has gotta make you laugh. I guess I need to start shooting by the force instead of picking a spot too. Carry on I just hit the ITI button. I ought to know better than turn it off. If I can lose my credibility by not liking mechanicals, well I didn't have much to begin with. Dan |
RE: THINKING RAGE
So I take it you never shot the rage 2 blade heads????;):eek:
I think some of you guys would buy an explosive broadhead if they marketed it! |
RE: THINKING RAGE
After using Muzzy's and Spitfires, with generally good results, I tried the Rage 2 blade this fall. Was pretty impressed. Don't have any gory pictures to show, but one mulie buck was hit, hard quartering away angle - and the arrow actually exited. He went about 50 yards. The other mulie buck was hit broadside and, although the arrow did stop in the off shoulder, he was also only able to make about 50 yards. One of my buddies gut shot a whitetail buck in November, and it only made it about 50 yards before bleeding out. The amount of blood these animals lost in that 50 yards was impressive.
I recently got some Slick Trick magnums and they seem to shoot very well on paper. Some of the sharpest heads out of the package I have ever seen. I may get a chance to try them on elk this fall. Although I'm sure the Rage would work on elk as well. Or the G5 Montec -carefully sharpened of course :). |
RE: THINKING RAGE
I'm a firm believer in ST's as well but they are NOT with out their problems! I threw the other 2 heads away that were worse than this! This head is garbage now, notice the blade all chewed up! This was a perfect broadside shot breaking one rib going in! Pretty tore up!

RE: THINKING RAGE
I've shot Tricks since 03 and shot them into Steel Drums, Concrete blocks and never saw one sustain damage like that. If I am supposed to believe a rib did that, well I'm not buying. Thousands of Trick users won't either. I'll shoot Conrete Blocks and Steel drums side by side all day and you can post all the pics you want to. Steel is tougher than Aluminum[8D]
Carry on!;) Dan |

[:'(][:'(][:'(][:'(] Kind of ironic when someone talks about the gear YOU use and you call them a liar but in the same breath you talk **** about my gear and its OK to do so! Your a piece of work! If you read my entire post, I'm a firm believer in ST and still carry them in my quiver and will continue to do so when I have the Compound afield! |

Yes I remember they did. Did Rage have a recall on the 3-blade? Yes, and they fixed the problem immediately and replaced all recalled heads. Fad? Come on! This is what I mean by credibility. Why would I trust you on a recommendation on a product when 100,000's of bowhunters use the Rage, with great success, and you continue to put it down. It makes your opinionhighly skeptical. |
