Rage 40 KE
 

The new rage broadhead from rage is a two blade broadhead that is designed to use with a 40 Lb bow . So if you have kids that bow hunt with a 40 lb bow you need to try these . You can only use these with 40 lb bow or they will break . They also get 1.5 inch cutting diameter .

If they break with more then a 40 lb bow they can't be made very good. I thought they were made for any bow with just a smaller cut then the 2'' version so you get better penetration out of lower setups.

They aren't made to be shot out of only 40 pound or less bows. They aren't going to break if they are shot out of a 60 pound bow.

They are designed with a smaller cutting diameter and a steeper cutting angle than the standard Rage broadhead for better penetration with lower KE levels.

the 40KE is designed to shoot out of a bow with lower kinetic energy not a 40lb draw weight.

I've seen enough tests and heard enough unhappy users of Rage heads to keep me away from them. There marketing strategy even turns me off........... but some people will beat you to a pulp for saying bad things about Rage broadheads.

I was one of the biggest proponents for this head....taking 12 whitetails with them over 2 seasons. This marketing ploy turns me off, too. It's sickening. There is NO WAY I would shoot their 2" head (now) with less than SEVENTY FP's/KE. I wouldn't attempt the new 1.5" version with less than 60FP's.

I'm almost getting 40FP/KE out of my recurve. That number was pulled off the wall by the Rage Co., and it's one of the most irresponsible moves I've ever seen in hunting.

Rage certainly knows how to market something to the less-than-informed hunter. Their original campaign made me puke with the "Best bad shot broadhead" and now this, 40KE garbage. Not for me, no thank you.

If I were him I would use G5.

That's why there is more than one manufacturer and type of broadheads.

What marketing ploy turns you off?? Or, are you just being condenscending? If there is some kind of funny advertising going on... im not seeing it very well:eek2:

I do agree about higher KE with the 2 bladers... Ive seen/heard of too many non pass thrus. I am going with them this year b/c i will have plenty of KE. I shot the 3's last year and they were great!

Are you planning on changing heads GMMAT?

The ads say, "expand your kill zone", have a find your game guarantee, like trowing an ax through a deer. And i even think one ad said making bad shots good...... don't quote the last one though...... could have been something my little mind made up.

Ive seen enough to never use the head.

but like another poster said........thats why they make different brands and styles. keeps life interesting!

Oh ok! I looked on their website to find info on the 40KE. I didnt realize he was talking about all of the heads. I thought that they may have came up with some new marketing campaign with this one or something like that. My bad:hit:

The idiocy that leads people to believe they can shoot this new head with 40FP/KE. It's pathetic.

No. I no longer will shoot this head (for unrelated reasons).

one of the greatest pieces of advice i ever recieved. "most fishing lures arent made to catch fish. they are made to catch the fisherman."
marketing is the key. while i may not agree with their style and tactics. im not gonna diss anyone for shooting another style. there has to be more than one style of BH. otherwise we could all shoot the same bow with the same arrows and the same BH and be good with it.

Mo...I was describing the marketing ploy....NOT the people being fooled by it. If you've never shot the head (or one remotely like it), you're likely to believe them (why wouldn't you?).

No disrespect to the end user. I blame the Rage Co.

very true my friend

Oh ok:cool2: Thanks

My friend shot a buck last year in the shoulder blade, and the rage 2 blade broke.. Not just the blades, but the actual broadhead. I was using them then, but never shot a deer w/them. I switched to the 100g Montecs after that. Any sharp head put in the right spot will put a deer down fast.

Reason one for not shooting the head: Alum. ferrule.
Reason two for not shooing the head: America's top Bowhunter says it's like throwing an axe through and animal.--They should throw and an axe through Chuck's agent for letting him repeat that line.

I don't have experience with the 40KE, but if it's designed after it's older brother, it could use some steel.
