As with anything in hunting, things happen!!!! Avoid the avoidable sounds simple but people over think it. I have used montec's and thunderheads (100 grain) and only had one arrow not pass through. Not arguing just my experience.

Now sutton, go ahead with the bashing...I can hear it now:
"u r a jerk sorry im not smart like u if u dont like my post u dont have 2 read it im sure u r an old fart get out of the stone age and n 2 this century..."
My God, that was hard to even type, I had to get my teenage daughter to help me (he he he)
And again, sutton I mean no personal disrespect, I really don't. I just think it's a horrible habit to get stuck in.

ill tell u why people are defending the rages like they r.... because they cant accept the fact that they fell for the incredible advertising and spent the money on some really shi**y broadheads also not everyone but i guarantee most of the people defending the rages have only shot one maybe two animals with them
i wont lie i fell in the "rage trap" i even shot 5 deer with them too im not even gunna get into those stories i will just say they r not a top of the line broadhead and im sorry if u disagree with me but thats my opinion

I think they're a pain myself and noisy, but they do cut a big hole.

Second, there is no way you could even know all rage heads work perfect, and saying so is smoke and mirrors, nothing works perfect all the time PERIOD!
You sound like someone who should know...What percentage of failure do the producers of Rage experience before shipping them out?
I buy products all the time and failure of them is getting to the ridiculous stage. Most everyone here lives in a house and some work on them. Plumbing has gotten easier with the new fittings that simply push together. One well known one has all kinds of certifications, but I wouldn't use them, I've already seen 3 fail and they're never supposed to. They too use a rubber O-ring.
Years ago a rubber tubing company lost multi millions because their tubing, made by GoodYear failed. You could pick a tube and flex it, move down 2 feet and if you tried to flex it it would shatter. Rubbers funny that way and prone to all kinds of failure. Who makes Rages rubber O-ring?

I have never shot a rage or any other mechanical braodhead. But I will say this....every year their are multiple threads about mechanical broadheads (particulaly Rage) failures. How many threads have you seen about fixed blade failures? My point being, is that the more moving parts you have, then there is more opportunities for thing to go wrong. Fixed blade broadhead have been proven successful since the native americans were carving them from stone. I just don't understand the need to change from something that has been as reliable as a fixed blade broadhead.
