No, that's not it........Man, I just can't remember, I'll have to do more looking when I get home tonight. I remember it though, because that's the day I stopped paying much attention to his opinion......

Man, I hope I'm not speaking an untruth here, but I swear I remember reading that somewhere....It wouldn't be the first time I remembered something that didn't happen though.

Re: Annika3 - Lots of people endorse products that they have a financial stake in. Whether they do it surreptitiously or openly - it's all the fruit of the same tree. I do agree, though, that the "anonymous" posting seems to have a little uglier motive to it - just coming under the guise of impartiality.

I mean, if I had a dollar for everytime I've heard our corporate staffers singing the praises ofBowtech-Octane-Diamond gear, or Dan MeanV hawking arrows,string stoppersand Slick Tricks - I'd be a wealthy guy.

I generally don't have a problem with the self-promotion stuff, because it's just people doing their job. But, I think everyone here is well within their rights to discredit that info as being biased or worthless. I mean, I'd never walk into a Chevy dealer and ask a Chevy salesman what he thought about Chevy trucks. Seriously...

That still doesn't change my opinion that Rage is price gouging. I think our homeboy Chad is squealing all the way to the bank. ;)

I can tell you right now....for someone from the RAge company to come here and chastise people for re-using blades is freakin hilarious.....to downright insulting.

If I find out he works for Rage I'll stop buying their products.....unless he's got a helluva excuse for the (if he works there or owns part of it) highly DUMBASS comment (given the circumstances).

You know Jeff, I'm a RAGE shooter myself and that comment touched a nerve with me as well. I'm also rethinking my use of them this season.
We welcome manufacturer participation on the forums........encourage it actually but I don't care for the "Hidden Agenda" anonymous style tactics.

Thats one of the reason I wanted all my guys to have Bowtech/Diamond in their signatures because I've heard that comment before. I don't want any mistakes or whispering about bias due to not disclosing information.
There it is, now you decide if you want to accept us as a credible source for info.

If this Annika guy is Chad Stoll he should do the same.

Here....Here....

Great post Matt...I too am rethinking using Rage next year also after this. If Annika is indeed Chad Stoll then for himto even suggest you shouldn't reuse the broad head again after killing a deer with it only means two things.......

1. He has absolutely no faith in the design of his broad head.
2. He wants folks to buy more heads and is willing to make such statements to facilitate that.

Either way I'm not happy. My Montecs served me very well and I would have NO PROBLEM using them again...and again....and again...because they ENCOURAGE you to resharpen and reuse their broad heads.;)

RE: Big mechanicals....why is Rage top dog?

It's not that, BigJ.....hell you couldn't FIND replacement blades for them ALL LAST SEASON. I looked high and low. I would have replaced them and never tried reusing them. I couldn't.

Hey it's only ten bucks a shot, no biggee.

Maybe they don't really make them[8D];)

MY over and under is 145 in three hours.

RE: Big mechanicals....why is Rage top dog?

You weren't missing anything, Jeff. I remember seeing their replacement blades at a shop this fall. If my memory serves me, they were only 30% less than a 3-pack of BRAND NEW heads. LOL

Everyday, I ask myself: Are people really this stupid?

And everyday, the answer depresses me.

Oh I know GMMAT... During the season I too looked for replacement blades.....No dice![:@] I have 5 broad heads now that need attention after this season and I'm still trying to find blades....I'm not buying more broad heads, I purchased enough (12) already.
