But good luck to you. What mystifies me about these heads is this. For many years there was a broadhead on the market called a "Snyper" by Rocky Mt Archery. (It's now been discontinued) It is basically the "EXACT" same design as a Rage except it had sharper stronger blades; a better more reliable blade retention system and cost waaaaay less than a pack of Rage heads. They couldn't give them away Fast forward to today. A new company buys the design makes the blades duller and more fragile, switches to a badly designed retention system and doubles the price per 3 pack. Aaahhh BUT, they changed the name to "RAGE" which I guess appeals to 14 year old kids more. And also they took the money they saved from cheapening the design and paid every TV hunting celebrity open to a good bribe to say that Rage heads are the greatest thing ever!!!!!!! And now they fly off the shelves despite the cheaper quality and outrageous price tag. LOL! Tells you a lot about the American consumer mind set and how easily it's manipulated. What is your beef with Rage? You are doing the EXACT same bashing on AT. Do you work for a competitive company? By the way, they get the blades from the exact same place they did the Snyper. But then again, you know everything. |

Elknutz.....you seem to REALLY not like these heads. What personal experiences do you have with them? And...aren't they illegal in CO? I NEVER had one open in flight. I DID have pass-thru issues. I took 12+ whitetails with these heads over a 2 yr stint. |
What is your beef with Rage? Now they are 38 bucks a pack and a lower quality head yet fly off the shelves. You don't find that odd? No? Oh well, I guess some have a little intellectual curiosity and some don't. |
GMMAT you shoot the rage heads out of a wood bow? or are you a closet compound shooter. "Closet comound shooter"? LOL.....(I lost the training wheels):biggrin: |

Just curious as to why basically the exact same design wouldn't sell at all back when it was called a Snyper; was better constructed; and only cost only 22 bucks a pack. Now they are 38 bucks a pack and a lower quality head yet fly off the shelves. You don't find that odd? No? Oh well, I guess some have a little intellectual curiosity and some don't. By the way, it's called common sense not intellectural curiosity. |
It's called promoting or advertising your product "Excuse me sir would you like a pack of these Snyper Broadheads for 22 bucks?" "No thanks." "Well what if we changed the name to Rage; charged 38 bucks a pack and told you that some guy on TV you've never met said they're great." "Well in that case, hell yeah I'll take a pack of them bad boys!!!" LOL! Sorry, but the mind set of the American consumer and the ease with which it is manipulated is a weird and fascinating thing to me. By the way, it's called common sense not intellectual curiosity. |

Why don't I shoot them now?
Because I'm producing WAYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too little KE to shoot them (as are most people, in my opinion). |

A 2 inch diameter head of any kind takes some serious KE to consisitently push through deer. Something that sadly far too few people seem to care or educate themselves about. |
