Rage broadheads
Any success or failures out there with the new "rage" broadheads? Are they what the manufacturer plays them up to be? I'm not using them because im one of those guys that dosen't want what everyone else is getting, but maybe i can be made a "believer"?

Yeah. There are quite a few threads on here abuot the Rages. I got jumped all over last year for stating that a guide I was with said that they hate the Rage Heads because they have more lost animals with them than any other broad head. I just stick with the montec G5 that I have used since the begining of my archery career. I have always achieved a clean pass through and watched the deer fall.

It is so much more about were your arrow hits and not what it is tipped with. When I was young and dumb I killed a doe with a judo (spelling?) point. Broadside double lung arrow stopped at the hide on the opposite side. Deer went 50 yards and tipped over. I would not recommend trying this tho there was no blood trail at all.

I tried them, did not like them, they open up if you walk through brush and when you shoot, you find yourself looking at your head to make sure that the blades are closed, that's the last thing I want to be going through my mind when that big buck is in front of me.

Shot them last year and killed a nice buck but will not shoot them again. This year I shoot the Phat Head by SteelForce. Penetration is everything to me and I just did not get much with the Rage 2 blade. From 18 yards I got no pass through, arrow stuck out 12 inches just behind left shoulder and was broke off as he ran off but it did leave a massive entry hole and lot of blood. I recovered him 60 yards from where he was hit. I shoot 68 lbs during the winter, 29 1/2 inch arrows 412 grains and no pass through.
The doe I shot with the phat head this year was 34 yards, pass through, double lung, she dropped when she was hit, got up, staggered 10 yards then fell over and died. And I will say that I hit her a little further back then the buck.
