RE: Rage 3 blade
Only from hear say from a few friends of mine...But I'm a firm believer that a correctly placed arrow kills regardless of the head...and I'm talking about bear bones like the indians did it...
Anyway...my buddies had bad experiences with 3 blade rage vs. 2 blade...which they loved....
But again...this is hear say and circumstance...I think they just made poor shots...my opinion...
I love NAP spitfire XP's 100 gr...which I'm sure you all may be sick of me ranting and raving about....

I bought a pack of 3 blade the other day shot one into the Morrell target and when i pulled it out the blades had locked together and and bent.[&o] I like them but think I like the 2 blade better.

RE: Rage 3 blade
My whole reason for this is I have shot 2 deer with these heads no problem. But I have heard of problems. I have shot the 3 blades not the practice heads into many many targets with no issue of them not opening. I just want a honest opinion weather I change 2 the 2 blade or continue with the 3 blade model. Just I want a warm and fuzy before I start this deer season knowing that they will open every single time like they have so far.

RE: Rage 3 blade
The 2 Blade is the way to go. Make the switch you won't be disappointed.
McBee's experience is kind of flawed. He shot a couple deer with a 50lb Switchback with light arrows past 20 yards, and didn't get the penetration he expected. I don't think that should count

just curious as to why you would shoot one of the broadheads, when they come with practice heads?
