I posted in another post about my experience with the RAGE heads. I did not have a problem with them NOT opening. I had a problem with them opening in flight twice on a nice buck, Monday. You want to see an arrow act crazy...then shoot one unlocked from the O ring. IMO the rage heads are probably great performers if they stay intact in flight. But I think ist is a horrible design with the O ring that holds the blades in place. They open incredibly easy. almost too easy. I would not use them in the brush where there was a chance of nicking a limb on the way.
I just don't want to worry about my equipment at crunch time. Thats why I went back to Muzzy's. They definitly aren't as well built as a Muzzy in my eyes. I have shot some deer thru the shoulder blade that I am affraid the Rage couldn't have handled. I put them side by dside and there was no doubt the Muzzy looked stronger. I can gaurentee I would not take them to the woods for elk.[:-]

I've devised a test which should work. I'd try it myself but my bow is having a new cable placed. Shoot a watermelon and see the entry and exit hole. Then enjoy your watermelon!
