Problem with Rage
 

I cant getmy Rage 2 and 3 blades to expand properley. they only expand half way or not at all. i cant seem to figure out whats wrong. i'll sit down for awhile tonight and try to get them to work. any advice will help

I might know the problem..

RE: Problem with Rage
 

I can't see you pushing enough KE to shoot expandables. You have setup issues.

But my curiosity is piqued. When do they not open? How do you know they're not opening?

RE: Problem with Rage
 

try and open them the other way[:-]

RE: Problem with Rage
 

when i shoot them into my broadhead target theres no hole in the piece of paper. ill shoot them again tomorrow and see whats wrong with them

RE: Problem with Rage
 

I'm perplexed. I can have them open pushing them through a sheet of paper.

I need to see a photo of how you have them quivered....or how they are before you shoot them.

i shoot a bowtech 65# 30" draw with gold tip 7595 hunter xt arrows and prior to this season i shot muzzy 100 this year i went to quickfletch / quickspin speed hunter vanes 2" and my muzzys simply wont fly with this setup (the vanes being the only thing that has changed in the equation) so i went to rage 3 blades BLAH i attribute another first this year for myself to those things i lost my first deer , good shot well not good enough apparently, anywaysinge lungand heart i thoughtrecovered my arrow and 2 blades were still as they were when i placed it in my rest rubber included ?

RE: Problem with Rage
 

theyll open shot through paper ?

RE: Problem with Rage
 

field point would have killed one with a single lung and heart hit. I think you have some tuning issues if your fix blade will no longer fly good and maybe an expandable is not the solution. There are some mighty knowledgeable guys/gals on here that can help you out if this in fact the case...not bashing you just stating my opinion.

RE: Problem with Rage
 

oh- pushing them through , that makes more sense. duh

RE: Problem with Rage
 

much appreciated - i agree ive bowhunted for 4 years and just papertuned my bow the first time this year im kinda like a monkey and a football with this stuff if you know what i mean. starting to meet some guys that are into so that makes it easier and of course this sites like an encylopedia

RE: Problem with Rage
 

they are set the way to direction say. so i dont know whats going on

RE: Problem with Rage
 

If you go into it with that kind of open mindness and a good outlook these guys will have you shooting beyond your years in no time.

RE: Problem with Rage
 

It's 2008.....can you show us a picture?

RE: Problem with Rage
 

Face it after this you will never trust the Rage headsagine, so did you paper tune your bow after you changed your fletching style? My guess is no, so go shoot it through paper, get the bow back in tuneand find some fixed baldes you trust and go kill something.

My camera is at my dads house which is 2 hours away and i cant find my phone USB cable to put on the computer

Send it from your phone to your e-mail

They should open for you through the paper. Regardless, I wouldn't use them. Not because they're a bad head, but those Rages are not the most appropriate head for you to use. Your KE output would be similar to mine. I shoot a BT Equalizer at 51lbs, 26" draw. I truly do get better results with a 2blade COC head. I encourage you to do the same and select a COC head 2 blade or with small bleeders, or a small 3 blade chisel tip like the Wasp Boss Bullet.

i shot them again tonight and my others ones opened. it must of been just that one. ill have to look at that one and find out whats wrong
