i maintain fairly tight groups from 20-35 yards and when i shot with the rage 2 blade it was always about 2 inches higher than my field points ...makes 0 sense to me but thats how it was..

they fly the same for me, but that doesnt mean they will for you, i would say they will be fine, but you should let one fly just to be sure..good luck...

Fatigue can result in poor shots. on the BH I have had no problems. but everyone is different i would def try one first if ya get a chance.

i have the 2 blades. i decided to throw a broadhead on just to see how it would fly compared to the practice tip. flew just like my field points, except it left a huge gash in my target! oh well, i like to see that its working well.

i have shot them out at 60 yards. they fly great for me. jusst like my fp's. not everybow is setup the same but as long as your practice head is dead on your real head will be. nad as far as fatigue, it gets us all. also when shooting a deer you will have nerves, unless your a stone cold killer, so be prepared for that. you will be fine. dont let your mind beat you.

rule #1 never hunt with equiptment you are unfamilar with!

shoot them into foam before hunting!! buy new heads, sharpen blades, or replace the blades after shooting foam....no question in your mind about what they will do!! you will KNOW!

The practice heads fly exactly as the real ones. As you long as you have practiced with those you should be fine. If not, agree with what is said about being prepared and confident in your equipment.

Also, you will never go back to a fixed blade after seeing what those heads can do.

Shoot them first! How many Broadheads on the market today say FP accuracy? Its a selling gimmick for morons...... [X(] or slob hunters. I practice with Bh's b4 season both from the ground and from the height of my treestands. Things can change even with a good broadhead.
