Whats so hard to understand that. Also whats that about switching arrows? All six of mine are Gold tip 7595's set up for the each BH on the arrow. Is that confusing to you? Would you shoot a mechanical thru mesh?

I like my 3-blade, 100 grain Muzzys.
I must admit that I had the same thought about switching to Rage. I guess it is because of all of the hype and attention they are receiving. You guys have convinced me to stick with what works (for me) - Muzzy. Thanks.

For the life me I can't understand why you would switch anything that is working for you. Rages are more expensive and not found as easily in a bind as Muzzy's. If you love your fixed Muzzys why would you consider switching? Rages won't kill a deer any deader than a Muzzy. More to go wrong with Rages also.

I use muzzy and have never had an issue. I dont use mechanicals. Mainly because I dont shot a compound much. But when I do, it is a fixed head. I gave lots of mechanicals a try, but was not very impressed. NOt sure about rage, never used them. Probably wont ever.

BOTH,
I have two rages and two Muzzy's in my quiver. If I feel like its a closer shot and an awkward posture of the deer usually in my blind, I will use the bone smashing, cutter of the muzzy, but if its a broad side at 20, the Rage will leave a blood trail directly to him, minus a steak from the butchered meat.!

I cant help but ask, why? YOu switch arrows for a "give me" shot and/or switch to another for a marginal shot? Seems like it would make more sense to simply use the best broadhead. And trust me, Muzzy will leave just as good a blood trail as any head on the market.
To me, a confident and ethical shot is always in the forefront of my shot, and I must admit Im torn between the Rage and Muzzy. I honestly dont trust my Muzzy for any more than a 20-30 yrd shot, while my rage I feel confident out to 40. You are free to comment on my style, but my track record shows that I am doing what I feel comfortable doing, and thats slaying deer.
I have tried to improve my longer shots with my Muzzy's and I am continuing to have to aim high and right for them to hit their mark at 30 or longer. I did change my arrows this year, and perhaps that has changed my tip weight slightly, but Im happy with how and when I shoot.
