    All done with Rage broadheads

    in Big / Small Game

    Posted

    It's funny how this thread just lingers.  

    I'd guess that 95% of the time, those Rage broadheads work perfectly - otherwise, they wouldn't sell. It's the other 5% that concerns me. It seems like shots with a steeper entry angle are prone to mishap, particularly around the shoulder. It could be that this is all just an urban myth and that Rage are no worse than any other brand out there...maybe there are so many folks that use Rage, it's inevitable that there will be more horror stories. But I know I've had some Rage fails in the past, switched to Slick Trick, and haven't looked back. 

     

    Maybe I've become a better hunter and choose better shots in my age...I mean wisdom. Regardless, IMHO the only difference between a bowhunter who hasn't experienced an issue with mechanical broadheads and one who has is time. 

     

    There’s a ton of fakes on every market, I’ve even spotted fakes on the shelf of a local archery shop. And last fall I had a muzzy trocar hb that the 2 blades did not open at all, even after going thru the doe and into the ground.
