My friend purchased a set of these last year before going hunting. Not sure if this set comes with it, but his set came with a practice tip(same weight, trajectory, etc..) He went hunting with them and shot a button-buck (thought it was a doe) Not a good shot, nailed it in the hind quarter... it ran off, he called me and had me look for the deer with him, it only ran about 50m or so and died... massive blood trail, easy to find... When I saw the entrance hole of his arrow... I asked him what the hell he used... cause it looked like he hit the thing with an axe.... These broadheads make a HUGE hole, I'm buying mine from the store, because I wanna make sure I get the practice tips.... a definate buy though

This year I decided to shoot the 125 grain vice the 100 grain in the past. Last year I took a doe (18 yards) and had a pass through with a broken rib...quick kill.

This year, I shot a gobbler (center mass) and it ran about 30 yards. Later that night I shot an 8 point (heart shot) 50 yards and as soon as I hit it the blood was spewing out everywhere. I could see the blood shooting out as it ran through the woods. Needless to say the tracking was easy.

Lastly, I shot a doe and unfortunately I spine'd her. Fortunately, with these broad heads she was down fast and due to the increased cut, bled out faster than I could knock another one.

I love these broad heads because they fly true, open huge holes and when hit properly or even close, they put game down fast.

The only drawback to these and it's a big one, is the price to use ratio. You basically get one shot with these things and then it's either damaged, bent, broken or chipped. At around $10-$14 per arrowhead that's something to take into consideration, but then again when it comes down to the "shot of your life", do you really want to walk away knowing that because you saved a couple of "bucks", you lost the "buck" that meant the most?!?!

I've shot a handful of deer with this broadhead. Excellent blood trails have made for easy tracking, but with a good double lung shot the deer have not gone far enough for a lot of tracking to take place. The last doe tag I filled was late in the day with diminishing light. The doe was quartered toward me a little more than I realized and I ended up shooting her more lengthwise than broad side. I'm shooting right around 70 lbs, and had complete pass through from front quarter to rear quarter. Upon cleaning the deer I found I had only hit one lung, but she didn't go more than 40 yards. The blades have cut right through the ribs of the whitetails I've shot with this broadhead.

I have yet to shoot an elk with this broadhead, and I probably won't. I've found that with hiking, calling and any general moving around I am constantly checking to see that the blades are still being held by the rubber ring that holds them in place. Most of the time I found I had to reseat the blades after moving. Excellent wound channel, but probably better suited for stationary hunting practices.

Do not shoot a turkey with this broadhead unless you can hit them in the head or neck. I shot a turkey broadside, center mass. There was an unusually loud thwack, the turkey jumped up and then ran away with my arrow hanging out of its wing with virtually no penetration. I've since talked to other bow hunters, only a few of them knew to not shoot a turkey with a mechanical. I was told the feathers tend to stop mechanicals as they open up. If you already knew this then you can make fun of me for not knowing, but if you didn't here's your heads up. I feel terrible for having wounded anything and hope to help others not make the same mistake. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm not sure I would believe a broadhead that can slice through ribs wouldn't do the same to feathers, but that's the word on the street.

Lastly, the center pin that the blades pivot on is not a screw in the model of broadhead I have so the blades can't be replaced. The tip blade can however as it is held in place by an allen screw. This seems odd to me as the larger blades are typically slightly bent and dulled after cutting through the ribs of a whitetail. I would recommend this product based on performance, but would caution potential buyers to be certain of the intended uses, abilities and limitations.

I have been bow hunting for over 30years and have tried many of broadheads. I like the expanding broadheads since I believe they fly closer to the same as a field point. After purchasing a crossbow I was introduced to the Rage broadhead and am amazed by the entry hole along with the damage it does through he deer and the exit hole. The person who said it bounced off the deer must have done something wrong or was shooting to low of poundage to open the broadhead but I can't see that happening, these things are great!!!!

This was purchased as a Christmas gift for an avid hunter (actually, he requested it). He was pleased to receive it, so I have to assume it was a good product. I will say that the service was great; it arrived just a few days after purchase, and in good shape.

Terrible! Had a great shot and it actually bounced off the deer! No penetration at all. Seemed like a great concept and idea, but did not work. My brother also tried the same one's and had the same experience. Do not buy this product. I gave it a one star, but probably deserves less than that.
