rage broadheads

[kt]

so does anybody plan on parting with 40 dollars for 3 broadheads, a friend told me if i try them he will pay half. nope not this boy, last time i got experimental i lost two bucks. somebody else on the shelf right next to the rage heads wants 40 bucks for 3, i cant recall the make, how ever video of these things shows more penetration and bigger holes than my muzzys

I was given a few rage broad heads when they first came out - they worked well.

I did buy a pack from a friend who just opened an archery shop a couple weeks ago. I didn't realize they cost that much. I bought some other stuff to give him some business so I didn't notice the price.

If they cost that much I don't know if I want to risk using them.

kt,

If it works, don't fix it! Sounds like you're pretty well set when it comes to broadheads, so stick with what works for you. I've heard some really good things about the Rage broadheads, but for that price they can have 'em. I'm really liking my 6 for $32 (give or take) Rocket Ultimate Steel heads right about now... A friend gave me some Grim Reapers to play with, so I might try them, but for my money, the tried and true works. Stick with your muzzys - you won't regret it.

$27 for 6 Magnus Snuffers, and with a nice honing stone, no need to pay anymore money for replacement blades. They are one of the most durable heads I've found. One piece and I believe Magnus gaurentees them for life. They claim they are the only broadheads with that type of gaurentee. Not sure about that, but they got my vote! Sick and tired of spending tons of money on replacement heads and heads that break or bend. They fly sweet out of both my recurve and compound

I have two friends that use them and swear by them. For me, not ready to spend that kind of money when my fixed blades still work.

I use the $32 for 6 muzzy's. I see no reason to change. I have no idea wheter they work well or not. When you see them on TV they always work. Give them a try, all it can cost you is a P&Y Buck. lol.

not very good construction. They were opening mid flight and diving. Theyare very wobbly when in the shooting position. Had issues also with all three blades not opening on a Block ? Returned them the next day and stuck with crimson talon. $40 is so crazy for broadheads. (I had a coupon for Dicks Sporting) anyway good luck with them.
These companies are starting to ruin the sport of archery with these crazy prices for accesories and arrows, etc... How in the hell are the next generation going to be able to afford to hunt?

I now have an update about Rage broadheads.

The two friends that I said swear by them have each taken a deer this year with the Rage heads. They are filming their hunts and I saw the two deer that did not go far and the arrow left a huge wound.

Then there was this past Saturday. One of the best deer they have seen in this area and the biggest they have seen on this land, walked right up to their mock scrape. The deer was 15 feet from the tree and they were about 20 feet up the tree. The shot was a little high but looked like a kill shot until you slow the video down. The arrow hit bone and went in less that 2 inches. The arrow was found 300-400 yards from the stand. Only one of the three blades opened and there was not enough blood for the dog to track from that point.

The deer was never found. My guess (and hope) is that the deer can recover from this wound. I am not sure if my friend will. He is sick over the whole thing. That night and most of Sunday he said he would never bow hunt again.

Sticking with my fixed blades,

Allen

Having unfortunately experienced this same situation twice I have found that a broadhead directly to the shoulder is bad news no matter what broadhead you are shooting. It sounds like your buddy might have had the same thing happen to him.

I have used the rage broad head but only the double blade they left a big hole and the deer did not go fat i do understand they will not penertrate bone
