Everyone Raging about Rage heads (heh heh see what i did there?) has me thinking about looking at them for this upcoming bow season but i was wondering if anyone could tell me how they hold up to practice? I assume you guys use at least one BH for a practice head, how do they hold up to being shot into targets, pulled out and shot over and over again? just curious...Nice pics, that one of the heart is gruesome

Oh, that makes sense, cause i was thinking with one of those broadheads opened up inside a target that has got to be a pain in the hindquarters to pull out without ruining the head, plus they would prob chew up a target pretty fast.

The Rage practice head flies just as true as the real blade also. I figured it out after 5 shots with each, and just stuck with the one practice blade afterwords. Just waiting now to get replacement blades, even though I haven't been looking real hard.

I have them and am planning on using them exclusively next year. I am concerned with them opening though, especially when stalking after elk and mulies. Where do you put the orthodontist rubber band to keep them shut?

I don't use one HS.....but if you did....the place would be very evident to you when you looked at the head.

are the bands necessary or just recommended?

Edit** If I didn't have access to these bands, I'd still use them.

A real test will be using them on hogs or bear. Ive found lots of good mechanicals (good for deer that is), just dont penetrate thick animals worth a flip. Ive seen nothing but praise about the rage, so im curious how they will work on a thick skinned animal.
