Do you know of another source for the bands you'll utilize for hunting?
What if you have to replace the blades?

Can you document first hand where you have heard of them not opening? I have to suspect this is heresay...........
I don't consider putting a rubber band on a head as modifying. I have access to shoot any broadhead I wish for next to nothing and these are my go to head. They use less energy to open than a steelhead, are more durable, sharper, thicker blades, cut on contact tip, and leave a bigger hole. I have killed several deer with steelheads as well, they were my go to head. I honestly believe if you take the time to put an extra band around the Rage's, they are the best head on the market and I say that with experience with nearly every other mechanical out there. I like the Snyper's as well however I really like the 2" diameter of the Rages. The steelheads are my 3rd choice as well, another fantastic head but simply not the same caliber as the Rages or Snypers.

good marketing dept thats all rage has people are having to modify an already overly expensive head. bent or broken blades, blades opening in flight or blades not opening at all. "over the top" style heads work great period everyone buys into these myths about them if you buy good ones youll have nothing to worry about.

i had the same problem last year. if you your broadheads go into the phone or rubber of the quiver the blades rub on this bands under the blades and cut right through them. then the blades will not stay closed. i went back to the grim reapers. i have never had a problem with them ever! i swear by them.

I've taken 7 deer with the Muzzy head, now....and I'll tell you this....the blood trails have been "shaky" at BEST.....and nearly "non-existant", at worst. I did have 3 go down in sight....but I'm looking for a blood trail Ray Charles could follow.
When a man hits a deer like this......he ought to have a no-brainer on his hands, dontcha think?
I'm just willing to give something else a try. That's all. Muzzzy's are good heads.

RE: Rage broad head problem.
call rage and ask why they had a recall its because THE BLADES WERE NOT OPENING. im sick of hearing that it takes more energy to open heads. most heads will open on a peice of paper the energy is lost when trying to puch more cutting surface throught the deer. get some blaistics gell put a deer hide over it and i bet there will be more penetration from the small steelhead (which has an average fixed head size cut) then the 2" cut of the rage.
last night on babe winkelmans this guy shot a deer (looked like liver) had almost no blood trail and had to come back an search next day. then he went on to say they are the best BAD shot broadhead (there not there are plenty of bigger cutting heads) and showed an amazing hole that was straight up and down and is one reason i think there was no blood because of the 2 blade design the cut lined up with the grain of mucles and closed the hole. when it comes down to it if your most guys paying 35-40$ for them there not anywhere close to being worth it.
