I would say that the main difference between the Rage's and the Grim Reaper's is the fact that the Rage's blades are opened before it cuts through the hide of the deer, leaving a large entrance hole. The Grim Reapers seem to be more durable, but they don't open until they are through the hide.

There's a video showing the Rage's and the Grim Reaper's going through a deer hide and then ballistic gelatin. I think they are both a solid choice for broadheads nonetheless.

i shoot fixed because i have always used them and trust them. mechanicals just scare me because of all the horror stories of them not opening. im just scared that would happen and i would not recover the deer

3. I hate moving parts, but haven't tried expandables.
7. No reason to fix what isn't broken. I've never shot expandables but love the results of my fixed blades.

I feel that theless moving parts on a bow the better... and yes, an arrow is a part of your bow, it does do half the job.
My Muzzys haven't let me down yet so i figure i won't switch till they do.

Good Luck to you all this season!

4. Last year. RuttNutt bought some for me to try, played withit befor season, gave them back to him.
5. Had a friend shoot a deer with one that did not open. Ruttnutt shot a deer with one that opened in the air, same ones he had bought me.
7. Only the first half pertains to me.
13. I only use equipment I have confidence in. This one should be at the end of your poll.
