Rage 2 Vs 3.
 
Just wondering which one you guys prefer, the Rage 2 blade or the 3 blade. Which one do you think flies better?


Be Safe All,

KC

Neither...........they both stink. Some idiot on TV said "its the best bad shot broadhead out there" Great!.......tell people to shoot deer in the guts and they die slowly and painful....but they die. Don't hit any type of bone with the rage either. You'll get a deflection off a rib. Or you'll bent the tip blade 90 degrees............Survey says "two thumbs down"

A friend and I have both had great success with the rage 2 blades. Don't worry, neither of us have gotten a deflection off of a rib or bent blades, even on the one doe my buddy shot through the shoulder blade. Leave's gaping holes and the deer dont run very far. If it weren't for these broadheads, my buddy would have lost his first ever bow buck due to a bad shot since he had a bad case of buck fever. With the 2 blades, he was just able to clip the femoral artery which resulted in a dead deer rather than a wounded one. I personally tust them 100%, even after what some others have said because every deer shot with them has dropped within 50 yards with very good blood trails.

I will be shooting the 2 blade this year for the first time. I am switching for the Muzzy 3 blade.

I can't speak to the 3 blade but I could shoot 5 field tipped arrows and 1 rage tipped arrow and looking at the pattern you wouldn't know which is which...except the rage would be much deeper! ;)

X2! I can speak for both blades. They fly extremely well...

I shot the 3's last year and they were devastating. Shooting the 2 blades this year cuz i have more KE.

Only problem for me is every head had at least one bent blade. But... 3 dead deer is 3 dead deer... Worth a package of blades to me:party0005:

If I was going to use them...it would be the 2's

I have killed deer with the 3 blade, but the 2 blade is more devastating.

Im going to be using the 2 blade for the first time this year. First time for mechanicals for me period. My wifes cousin started using the rage last year and i have never seen a head do as much damage as these things do. A buddy of ours uses them too and shot a doe the same nite that my wifes cousin shot his. Both deer went no more than 35 yards and piled up dead. And not to mention the blood trails were like nothing I have ever seen before....except for when one gets hit on the road by a Mack truck lol.

I have never shot the 3 blade but have been shooting the 2 blade for a while. and so far so good. the main thing is to make sure they will work out of your setup.

MDS184122577 08-19-2009 08:16 AM

I am not using the RAGES this year. I shot the 2 blade last year and was displeased with the way the blades constantly fell open while in my stand. I have heard people having success with them, but i was not one of them. I am thinking about switching to the Spitfires...


Goodluck!!

I was not pleased with the performance of the two blades I used last year. I had the same problem as the other guys with the blades coming open when I didn't want them to. I shot two does with them last year, decent shots, not one was recovered. The last head I gave to my brother-in-law and he shot a button buck with it and totally devastated it. I don't know, maybe I wasn't holding my tongue right, but I will not use them. I have been told that they are great heads, and witnessed my BIL shoot that button, but they will never be i my quiver again.
I switched to the shuttle t-locks last year after I wounded 2, am have never been so pleased with the performance of a head. They shoot great!!! I will have a Atom and a Spitfire in my quiver this year to try out on coyotes and turkeys. I have only heard good things about the spitfire, we will see though.:party0007:

I have shot quite a few deer with the two blade and boy do they do and awesome job fly exactly like my field points and have shot deer from pretty much all angles with no deflection even directly through the shoulder blade.
dont listen to those who havent used them they are a great broadhead

Going to give them a try! Have been a die hard muzzy fan for years but change is good... I hope!

Good luck all!

mbhutton 08-19-2009 01:23 PM

i will be trying the 2 blades this year

npockat32 08-19-2009 01:31 PM

I shot the 2 bladers last year and they worked well for me. No issues and all pass thru's with mine. Both the deer fell within 50 yards. I'll be using them again this year!

BIGBUCK17 08-19-2009 11:59 PM

i wouldnt fool with either one of them. i shot them last year they fly really good and leave massive wound channels...but thats when the blades dont come open. they aint worth the hassel of checkin the blades. When im up in a tree and i see a deer i shouldnt have to worry if the blades are closed or not. im shootin vortex this year.
