This is probably my favorite pic. This is exactly how I found her after about a 35yd run. She slammed into a tree just to the left of where she's laying.

I was shocked at the amount of bleeding.....

I find it very hard to believe that you hit a coyote "well," (which I would intrepret as a lung and/or heart) with any broadhead and it layed down and then walked off w/o you recovering it. I would say your shot wasnt as good as you thought.

I don't know . . . . coyotes can be nearly beyond belief in terms of will to live. I shot one once with a .300 Winchester while elk hunting. He collapsed in a snowy meadow - didn't even flinch. Figured I would keep hunting and pick him up on the way back to camp. When I got back to the meadow, there were his tracks in the snow - where he had gotten up and walked off. In the snow, I found chunks of rib bones and all kinds of bright red blood where the bullet had blown through him. Never found him.

I didn't see you there, but I could be wrong. Trust me, it was a good shot. I know yotes are tough, but the broadhead failed as well. Like I said, it was completely broken apart. Sorry if this doesn't correlate with your info. It is MY experience. I shoot slick tricks currently and don't see myself switching until something better for ME comes on the market. BTW, I was using the 3 blade heads, someone had aksed earlier.

That's interesting. I had wondered with this broadhead design if having the 3 blades would weaken the ferrule because the third blade would obviously take up more space. Were the blades broken, the ferrule, or both?

I once blasted a 'yote with a 22-250, and he left more blood on the ground than an elk. After 200 yds of a great blood trail, I had to quit because of rain. I didn't think THREE coyotes could've contained that much blood.

Interesting..........if you watch the new Drury Videos (including Jay Gregory's Whitetail Obsession) they are all shooting the Rage head now. The interesting part is that whenever they cut away to a shot of the arrow or you see it in a sequence it looks like they all use the 2 blade?
These videos have some of the QUICKEST bloodiest kills I've seen on film ever and the performance of these heads looks really impressive.

I heard multiple reports last year from guys testing these heads that the 3 blade was a problem waiting to happen. The blades were binding on each other, not opening etc etc. but everything I heard about the 2 blade was OMG [:-]type good stuff.

I almost knew you were going to say 3 blade before you wrote it for this reason.

The ferrule was not broken, just the blades. Had the ferrule been broken, I would say the heads have WAY more problems than already discussed.
