THINKING RAGE

RE: THINKING RAGE
This debate will "RAGE" on forever.
I dont use rage or any other expandable. The pictures look great and tough to argue with, but this it what it boils down to for me, and I suspect a few others. I get a number of shots at does each year, but I probably only get one chance at that 135-140"+ deer that I am looking for each year.....one chance. I can choose to shoot my Magnus Stingers whom you will be very hard pressed to find any negative info about (penetration, sharpness, blades opening, bone impact, etc) or I could choose to shoot the Rage of which there is a ton of great info and testimonials but also a few question marks (blades opening, penetration, bone impact, etc). Because I get one chance per year, I'm choosing the head with no question marks behind it, rather than watching my buck run away because of a mechanical failure.
If I got more than one chance every year at a trophy buck, you bet I would try the Rage in a second.

My guess about 100% of BH "failures" are due to poor shots.
You see MN.....I shoot the Rage for the exact reason you shoot your fixed head. If I get one chance.....I want that one chance to be with a head that inflicts the MAXIMUM damage.
I know which head that is.

I do agree with Jeff, MeanV always seems to bust on rage heads when ever anyone asks about them, why, I don't know! This pic is from a deer I killed late season.... with a rage head 2 blade! I was shooting Slick Tricks since they came out! Lets just say I have had my problems with them and leave it at that! I now shoot the rage 2 blade with the Compound!
I pulled this head out of the tree after it broke ribs going in and out, I cleaned it up, sharpened it and went back in the quiver! This is the 1st head that I could actually do this with! Not change any blades or nothing except clean and sharpen!

This pic was taken moments after I walked up to the deer that went about 30 yards with a blood trail 3 feet wide!
