I just replaced my Muzzys wit Rage 2 blades. Glad I did. I'm shooting a 63# set-up, hope that will do the trick. Looking forward to hopefully trying them out this weekend.

I would have to agree.

I am obviously in the minority here, lol I just don't think that's necassary. I never had a problem with a deer dropping usually in sight with a well placed shot from a normal broadhead. That's just a mess to clean up and or for dirt and debris to gather in. Overkill IMO

I honestly think if I would have shot this deer with a muzzy or other small bh, I may have still been out there looking right now. In the rain.

Have you guys ever made a less than perfect shot ona deer? Do you think the outcome wouldve been different if you had that extra cut in there? Our goal as hunters is to kill the deer as Quickly as possible, with minimal suffering to the animal. In order to acheive that... It's not always going to be pretty. If you dont think the MOST devistation is needed to harvest the animal more quickly, than maybe you should carry a camera. JMO

Don't fret it Aaron, if they made invisibility a reality and it was cost effective for bowhunting, some of these guys would still say, it's overkill, I can do that with my army camo.

And on heavy bone such as shoulder etc. I have seen too many mechanicals fail. By fail, I mean either physically break or just plain fail to penetrate because it was too large of cutting surface.I will stick with what I have seen outperform the large mechanicals over time. I have used both on many deer and will always go with first-hand experience of 30 years of bowhunting. Good luck.

That's one hell of a cut Aaron!! I'm not a big fan of Mechanicals for other reason's but I gotta say that If my buddy would of been using one this morning he'd probably have his buck. For some stupid reason my buddy missed bad on a buck this morning while It was standing broad side. The buck was 25 yards away and I think he hit the buck on the bottom of his neck. He was aiming behind the shoulder![:-] Anyway we found the arrow and there wasn't hardly any blood on the arrow. We tracked this deer for about a mile. He bled like nuts. My guess Is that just his broad head (2 blade Zwickey) and not the shaft went through the very bottom of the deer's neck. If he would of been shooting a Rage he probably would of got that deer being there cutting diameter Is so huge.
By the way we did jump this deer In It's bed. He ran by 100 mph at about 40 yards so I winged an arrow at him with my recurve. I missed him by a mile![8D] The good thing Is, this buck will make It just fine.

Hey Schultzy,
If the shaft didn't go through the deer and only the blade hit the neck wouldn't the rage have missed the deer?.

Shultzy, if the center of theZwickey didn't hit the animal, the center of a Rage wouldn't have neither, andit wouldn't have opened. Then the same thing would have happened, with even less damage, correct?
If one 'shoulder' of the blade hits the animal, that blade opens on the opposite side of the head.
