i dont have experience with the 2 blade which ive heard works good but ive used the three blade and lets just say i would use a rock over them [:'(]

I still do not understand why anyone needs "massive" tissue damage. I mean, if you get 2 holes in each of your lungs or 1 hole thru your heart or liver,YOU WILL DIE. (And quickly at that)

But I don't know anything either.

Maybe it's just me, LT.....but if I'm trying toKILL something...I'd like to inflict themost damage I can while doing so. One would think that this would be a universal truth.....but, apparently, that just isn't the case.

When someone like Matt/PA cites this as his main reason for using this head....I take note. He knows some things.

How much more damage do you want to do? Have the deer drawn and quartered when you pick him up? I just don't think I care about "maximum" tissue damage unless whatever I am shooting is after me.

LT

I agree that it does the damage. I disagree that it is necessary.

LT - Has every shot you have ever taken on a deer ended up in the lungs/heart/liver? You have never put a marginal shot on a deer?

I consider myself a half decent shot and I'm fairly picky when I decide to shoot or not.......I really try to make sure that I make the best decisions on when to shoot/not shoot. With that said,I still have made some marginal shots in my bowhunting career. It should never be used as an excuse to take a bad or less than ideal shot, but I like knowing that when thing's don't work out as planned with shot placement I havea headthat will do the most damage possible. I have never seen anything do the damage that a Rage does, and I have never had any problems with them in 2 full years of using them exclusively.

i shouldve known that one i got on next this thread would have exploded

I believe the marginal shot can go bad with a Rage or any broadhead. If it does maximum damage and the deer goes 2 miles and dies, is that better than marginal with a smaller amount of tissue damage? The damage done by the smaller head might allow the deer to live another day and not suffer if not recovered. Jmho

There will always be variables in hunting and harvesting game. If you believe this head stacks the odds in your favor, by all means, use them.

the keyword is "variables".

My deer last year went about 25 yards with a 2 in. Rage. My buddy shot an antelope broadside that dropped almost on spot with the same head. Every time i hear a hunting story about a rage it always entails a deer dropping within 50 yards. Shultzy, you say you like to keep things simple. Whats more simple than not having to trail your deer all night because you put a tiny little puncture in it's lungs?

the "tiny little holes" that you talk about have been killing deer for millions of years. and with 2 holes in a deers lungs, that deer most likely is not making it outside of a hundred yards.
