RE: Rage 2-blade PICS
I don't use them. They are quite pricey and to buy enough for practice and hunting would be expensive for me.I wouldn't mind trying them some day,they look like they do a hell of a job,but at this point my broad heads do the job rather nicely. Mine are the same thing as the Muzzy's, just a different name. You can see what I use below. In 3 years I have got 3 deer, and none of them have gone more than 75 yards before dropping dead.

RE: Rage 2-blade PICS
sorry for the poor quality, the pics are from my camera phone.
anyway. this is the first deer i have taken with the rage 2 broadhead and i was happy with the outcome. i shot this doe at 18 yards quartering away and she only went 50 yards before dropping. i know i made a quality shot and after finding my arrow, i could not find a drop of blood. to the rage's defense, i had a mag light (which is crappy for tracking i found out) and more than half the leaves on the ground had red on them. i was picking up leaves and rubbing them to see if it was blood or not and then i just started going in the direction i saw her go. once i found her, i tried back tracking and only went a short distance until i lost the trail. hopefully the next deer will be better lighting during tracking. but i was impressed with the size holes it had, both entrance and exit. also i went through a rib on exit and the blades are still hair cutting sharp and straight.

RE: Rage 2-blade PICS
bump for the non-believers....
1) I have deeper wound channels than I've ever had with a fixed blade
2) B/c of the blood, I haven't had to actually 'track' a deer this year
I love my mechanical blade, quicker, more ethical kill...less questions aboutyour ability to put down an animalwhen you're taking your shot

RE: Rage 2-blade PICS
I'm a fixed blade guy, but those rage holes are impressive...some of them look like hatchet wounds, the exit hole on that one doe's armpit even grossed me out a little haha. I would probably be more interested in them if they weren't so darn expensive, maybe if they made a few less commercials and sponsored a few less shows they could knock the price down a couple bucks...
