Ah, I thought we had a smiley with his hand raised.....we don't....anyway, I've broken one, and a buddy of mine has broken one. Busted the blades off. Just normal shots, busted ribs coming out. Presumably where the blades broke. Is it possible they hit something in the ground after the pass through? Yeah. I will also say the 3 blade is less durable than the 2, in my experience anyway.

I'm using Hypershocks this year, and other than the smaller entry hole I'm expecting this head to be every bit as deadly as the Rage. I agree that the big entry hole is certainly a plus the Rage has over the Hypershock....But I have a suspicion the damage will be AT LEAST equal to it. We'll see I hope. And I'll have pics as well.

You and Danny might be on to something here! I never thought of that.

My doe looked nothing like that. Nice pic. Congrats.

Wow, isnt this special. You already have testimony of two other guys breaking them. Apparently if you have had poor experiences and know of many other poor experiences with mechanicals you are a "peanut gallery hater" now?? Interesting.Guess that makes theGame Commissions of some states andProvinces haters. Maybe those of us that have actually been KILLING deer for 30 years or more already understand that pictures of gigantic groutesque wounds on animals serve no purpose and remain unimpressed. For me it is a juvenile thought process of "I can kill a deer deader than you can, and look at these awesome pictures to prove it." I would take a 1" hole cut through a shoulder and lungs over a huge mechanical using up most of its kinetic energy on heavy bone ANY day. Makes perfect sense and will kill a deervery dead. Good luck on getting veterans to post pictures of wounds. Most have no care or desire to do that and it seems to be a relatively new phenomenon I may never understand. I truely believe that some of you are in your garage right now working on the new "Whitetail-Guillotine" and cant wait to be the first to post up some awesome pictures of the deer that you just severed the head off. Man, that sucker will REALLY be dead. Just imagine the huge amounts of blood and how impressed everyone will be. How about exploding tips like Rambo used, now that could be cool. You wouldnt even have to haveANY tracking skills.Also,the drag back to the truck would be so much easier.Hey, arent you the same guy that posted the other day that NO broadhead will go through heavy bone? And then most of us remembered several times we had seen or done just that??? Oh well, sometimes we just have to learn from our mistakes and move on. Reminds me of the old show,"Father Knows Best."

PGH
(peanut gallery hater)

thats incredible!! holy crap!!

Yeah I believe any true hunter makes a less than perfect shot ocasionally. But not often enough where it justifies doing that to a animal with a broadhead. I mean seriously you think that don't encourage some hunters to take shots they shouln't be taking. I guarantee it does. I can already hear it. Well I have the rage it will probably cut the artery anyway or I have aroom for error because this broadhead is so devistating. Sure that a huge gaping wound but there will be more meat wasted as well.

My last less than perfect hit was 3 years ago and I have shot probably 15-20 whitetail since then. I don't believe I need to have the ability to gut the thing with one shotwith my broadhead. The object for me is not tomutilate the animal. I want the meat and I want clean kills, yesbad shots happen it's a part of hunting, but if you have bad enough shots often enough to feel you need to have a broadhead that does that maybe you should keep practicing and pick your shots. Thats what I do and never had many problems. It is impressive coming from a arrow no doubt. Just for me personally I don't want that.What a mess.

You can look at this 2 ways; if Buckmaster wasn't using the Rage, he wouldn't have killed this doe. He'll tell you that himself. None of the vital-organs were hit here. This would have been another low-hit, injured deer if the cutting-diameter was smaller, or the blades in a different position at the hit. It was a bad shot that turned out well because the blades were in the right position to open her hide up like this.

But on the other hand, this was a purely lucky kill, regardless of the head.Look at that picture real close; if the hit was an inch lower, or an inch or 2 further forward or back, it would have been a much different outcome. He hit her on the right-side, with her right leg forward and her left leg back, mid-stride. If the hit was just an inch farther back, it would have hit that big bone right there. How would it have turned out then? And if he were using another head, he would have hit that artery just the same, which was pure luck. (Sorry , but I can't seem to draw on it to show everything I'm talking about)

I really think some of you guys are getting carried away with this "awesome" broadhead. I mean, there's no doubt it cuts a big hole, but so what? There's ALOT of deer taken that go nowhere nearly as far as this doe did, with smaller holes. This one was just a lucky shot and outcome, no offense to Buckmaster.

WOW thats a little too much. That thing must of been in some pain for about fifty yards.

I actually ordered some of those Aftershock Archery "boosters" that add 25gr to the front of your arrow (I get a weak spine reaction with 100gr heads.... so I have to shoot 125).

Hunting where I do... I need a deer to die like now.... because 150 yards will be in somebodies front yard.... so 100gr 2 blade..... + booster = 125gr head.

Welcome to the dark side.... hope they have cookies....

I have put one in my quiver this year to try it out... I know I had a cousin shoot a deer with one and I was impressed when we could stick a fist in the entry hole.. But geeeez, you could dang neer climb inside that entry hole you got.. lol

Probably not the strongest broadhead but I would have to say the most devistating.
