RE: Rage Shooters
Some of these folkssay when you take it out of the quiver you need to check the blades? How about shootin' a fixed blade Thunderhead, Stinger,Snuffer, or any fixed blade for that matter,that you NEVER have to check to make sure it will shoot right. I don't want to have to check my dad gum blades when I take em outta the quiver, that's just a waste of time and money, and maybe a waste of a shot at a trophy buck. Say you shoot at a buck and miss, (even the best miss every now and then, Jordan did it on a DVD), then you have to quickly pull another arrow to try and get another shot if possible.......are you gonna have time to look at the blade and check to see if it's still in tact? NO. If you would just shoot a fixed blade and stop giving your money to RAGE, you wouldn't have to worry about whether or not your blade is gonna open or not.The less mechanics involved, the less that can go wrong. I won't be checkin any of my broadheads right outta the quiver this year, I willknow that they're gonna fly just like I want em to.

Elknutz,
I had one of my rage blades open in flight while target shooting. Upon investigating why it happened, I noticed the o ring on it had worn. I checked out the other two and seen the same on one more. I change the o rings on all of them and haven't had a problem since. I also change the o ring prior to stepping out in the woods to hunt for the season.

I only killed 8 deer with them last year.....so I guess I'll keep trying, this year,to see if I can reproduce one of these "failures".

Question:
WHY are you guys shooting your hunting heads into targets?

I would like think that practicing with actual hunting equipment that is going to be used in the field is a good thing no matter what a person chooses to use.

I've shot the"real" Rageheads (old ones) right along with my practice heads. They fly the same. What I won't do......is shoot a BH I intend to hunt with into my target. With this head.....there's NO reason to.
That's also the beauty of shooting Mechanicals.
I'd NEVER (when I shot muzzy's, for example) trust the practice heads to fly exactly like the hunting heads......ESPECIALLY given the difference in construction of those heads (muzzy BH v. muzzy practice head).
To an extent.....we agree.

Turkeys are the only thing i have hunted with them so far. I killed two this season and lets put it this way, they are devistating. Im looking forward to whitetail hunting with them this season.

I've never had one issue of taking a deer with a good fixed broadhead.(KISS) Keep It Simple Stupid. [:-]
