Shoot what you like. End of story

Ok, why didn't you just stay out of this from the beginning if your end game is "shoot what you like". Come on man, pimp that product.

In all honesty, I have no idea how old the OP is, don't really care, but the truth of it is, he's got a euphoric idea that a BH is going to make amazing things happen, and that just ain't so. You seem to have a pretty vested interest here. And that was pretty obvious, even before you divulged this....

What the Rage CAN do out of a high energy bow is impressive, no doubt about that, but I wouldn't recommend someone with lower energy (less than say 55ft/#) shoot a 2" 2-blade fixed BH, then why one earth would it be "more reasonable" to recommend they shoot a Mechanical 2" BH???

Do rages work??? Sure for the right people, but I've also heard a great many bad stories regarding them as well. Including in Vegas when one opened up mid flight and ate up some carpet.....I believe the renowned Randy Ulmer was shooting that arrow if I remember correctly.

The biggest ISSUE I see with Rage is that "Get Your Game" Guarantee because it basically soulds like it advocates sending prayers on the end of arrows.

Granted, archery has become a very technical sport, but at the same time, I'm sure the recovery rates now vs. 10-15yrs. ago are much higher, and it's in part to the sport becoming more technical. Have Rages helped some guys, certainly, have they created problems for some guys certainly, and the low-energy bows are one of the most heavily affected groups, because people get bad advice and choose to use them.

Sort of like recommending a guy try FOB's when he's shooting a Whisker Biscuit.....we all know that ain't gonna work, but it's happened!!!

Well....I can see the pissing match still continues..been gone from here all year and nothing has changed. Home Sweet Home!!!!!! LOL

yep welcome back solo. new paint new shrubs, still the same neighbors though. lol

I got into this by simply stating that everybody should check their BH, fixed or mechanical and that laughing and mocking a kid (it was stated originally that he was) isn't the right way to go about it.

I don't believe anywhere in this thread did I say "all bowhunters should shoot Rage". I simply stated what I believed to be obvious things. I've stated numerous times on here my relationship with Rage so it wasn't something new I divulged.

Unfortunately, you missed the part where he said he had unfavorable outcomes with Fixed BH's not passing through, and was now gonna try RAGE of all things.....:confused:

That's where he was given a little guidance..... And he got a little ****y and really sounded like he didn't really know what he was talking about. This thread is more about someone lacking knowledge and refusing to really listen to the voice of reason than a bash on Rage, or "mocking a kid." If the kid read the whole thread, he may have been a bit enlightened, and potentially rethought some of his statements. If not, then the efforts of several of us to help the kid and give him a little guidance at least were voiced and offered up. As the saying goes, "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink."

Amen. If he isn't getting pass throughs with a fixed head like a Thunderhead which has a cutting diameter just slightly over an inch and loses no energy at impact due to mechanical blade deployment then he is in for a real shock the first time he connects with a deer using a mechanical head that opens to a cut diameter of two inches and burns at least a bit of the arrows energy up deploying those big blades.

I've shot Muzzy's for years. EVERY time I knock an arrow on the string I check the broadhead to make sure it screwed in tight and the blades are locked in like they're supposed to be. I'll be doing the same thing this season when I give the Rage 2 blades a try.

It takes 5 seconds but it is important. Rage, Muzzy, field tip, or whatever...I check them all before I shoot every arrow.
