Another Rave Rage Review
#1
After reading the on going debates over the pros and cons of the 2 blade rages over the last few months, I decided to put the MX-3's on the shelf, and try out the Rage.
Well, I couldn't be happier with my decision. I was out on Saturday, had a group of three doe's walk in behind my stand at 25 yards. I hit the lead one with an arrow right above the shoulder, she ran 10 feet stoped, stood there for 20 seconds, and droped dead.
I have never had that happen before, and the hole it left was unbeliveable. 10 mins. later, the other 2 does came back and I arrowed the second one, a little high, but still in sweet spot, 25 yards and a massive blood trail later, there she was, with the same massive holes in her.
Both were complete pass thrus, with the arrows completely buried in the ground.
I am sure any properly placed broadhead would be just as devistating, but compared to what I was using before, I am much happier with the Rages.

My buddy I was hunting with this weekend shot at a big Doe at 20yards with a Rage and hit her in the shoulder. The arrow only penatrated 2 inches and they fell out. I know he was not impressed with the Rage. I know a shoulder shot is a bad place but only 2".[
] I know the jury is still out for him on the Rage Broaheads. I gave him my 2 bits on what I thought about expand Broadheads! Oh, he was shooting a compound set at 65lb and carbon arrows. It was also a straight on broadside shot.

Man I've been hearing a lot of good things about these broadheads. Are they worth the $35.00 price tag though?

Personally I don't think they are worth$10 IMO. I too heard all the reviews and putmy Montecs away for an afternoon hunt.I used the Rage's once and they did not fully open and cost me a buck with poor penetration. I threw all 3 BH'saway after that hunt...Montecs all the way for me from here on out.
Just my opinion on them...I know many who swear by them
