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.

Dear Howard:
What's your experience with this head.....and your fascination with posting in the threads involving them? Serious question. You shoot traditional equipment.....and have never....nor ever intend to use them.
Just curious.

Amen!!! I have never understood the logic of usingmechanicals. If it only fails one time, then that is one time too many. There are have been many horror stories about these broadheads,so there must be some validity to the failure stories.
I've never had one issue of taking a deer with a good fixed broadhead.(KISS) Keep It Simple Stupid. [:-]

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.

I was not referring to a specifichead, rather this question which didn't seem to address a specific head. The question referred to hunting heads which I gave an opinion to.
Question:
WHY are you guys shooting your hunting heads into targets?

RE: Rage Shooters
um...I shoot my actual BH into my targets exclusively for a month and a half before the season. I just change blades before opening day and keep one with the dull ones to take a few shots before I go into the woods. Why would you not shoot your actual heads into the target?? I mean all the talk about practicing in your hunting close and in a tree stand, etc... shouldn't you actually shoot your hunting heads?? I have always done it, in fact this the first year I have ever shot fp at a target. 20 yrs of shooting BH until this year. Targets do get expensive, but a few shots with the hunting head here and there is good.

I shoot them last year - no issue with the heads other than could not find replacement blades for anything, I can't see spending $40 for three shots and no options becuase the replacements were like finding hen's teeth

RE: Rage Shooters
Great range of answers with most being positive. I think one that truely looks can find negatives with anything. I shot the "free" Stryker last year and it was sharp and flew great, exactly once and broke upon a perfect hit on my 3d buck. Plus I remember it being a PITA to put together.
I'm not knocking them it was 1 exprience with 1 head I got for free, but from the impression I won't buy them. I've shot muzzy mx4's and mx'3 with great flights and repeatable success. The Rage intrests me for the bigger cut. If I buy them at d1cks I can save 10%. Like I said I'm giving them a try this year and appreciate all the replies.
