rage 2-blade broadhead thread (long sorry)

[killer]

I have shot 1 doe , 1 coyote, a turkey and one buck with the rage 2 blade. In my opinion these blades have worked fine for me. The only animal that did not fall within eye sight was the buck I shot this year. That is because he ran into a pine thicket and i heard him crash. when he ran I could watch the blood spray out both sides. Following the blood trail was like following the side walk. I am completly sold on these. That is just my experiance with them. The problem with pass throughs in my opinion is to light of an arrow. When I shot that buck my arrow went through the left front shoulder through the heart out the otherside and still was about 6 inches in the ground!

I've used them since day one and they are nasty. All passthroughs except for one. and that one was mt fault. If you are not getting passthroughs increase your draw weight. I shoot a dxt @ 73 lbs.

I have a new hoyt maxxis I bought at the end of Oct. I have killed a buck and doe with it and both were complete pass thrus. The other bow I had would not make it completely thru the deer. I really like the heads to, when they work properly. I have only had 1 out of 10 not do right (and I'm refering to the doe I shot last weekend not the one I lost because of rain) and the deer still didn't get out of sight, but if the shot had been marginal and I had shot her at dark instead of in the morning it might have ended up differently. And the arrows I shot out of this bow wiegh 405gr. thats pretty heavy. Anyway I hope you guys continue to have good luck with them. Like I stated earlier I will be finishing this season with them. I have one bonus doe tag left and 2 LBL tags. But next year I will give the slick tricks a try, I always said if I could find a fixed blade to shoot like my field tips thats what I would shoot. 1 out of 10 aint bad but its still 1.

I just wanted to give everyone a field test review of these heads, not just a "I shot a deer with these heads and there awesome". I think equipment needs several tests before it can be deemed good or bad.JMO. In my case its been 3 years and 10 deer, if my season continues to go good maybe 13 deer. I still think these heads are awesome but they do have there cons as well. Whatever you got faith in, knock'em down.
