rage broadheads.

i was wondering if anybody had this happen with rage broadheads, i had 3 kills last season useing rage heads, but only one was a clean pass thru, and that was at 5 yards, the other 2, both under 12 yards, stuck out of both sides of the deer, all good hits, right in the sweet spot, am useing a matthews dxt, at 65 pounds with 27 in beman ics hunters 400, i heard other guys say the same thing, am gonna stick with them this year, massive exit hole, has this happend to any else, and what type of broadheads are u guys useing ?

Cant say too much about the rage since I have not used them. I know a lot of guys swear by them. At 5 yards you should def be getting a pass through with a well place shot. Did you hit shoulder? I have been using the spitfire 100 gr. I know Hetley75 has been using them with success

Rage broadheads are by far one of the best heads on the market right now. The problem you may have is not having enough Kinetic Energy to get a complete pass through. Rage came out with new 2 blade heads which are meant for people shooting under 70 pounds. This is funny you brought this up, because Hetley and I were just talking about this. The only other thing I could think of is if you are using them as practice first, they will get really dull. They are real sharp out of the package, but a shot or 2 for practice will dull them right out. Hope this helps you a little!

i shoot the dxt also with 70 lb draw weight. i also shoot a diferent arrow though. i only had one deer i shot with them not get a pass through and thats because i made a bad shot and hit shoulder. all the rest complete pass thru. try the new ones they have out now that are made for bows with less kenetic energy. they leave a whopping hole wich is great for those shots that dont hit where your supposed to. that litle bit larger slice could hit a lung,liver and so forth. just my 2 cents,but i say try the lower kenetic energy ones

I had 3 kills last year too... all with rage's

No pass thoughs.. One to the lungs.. one bad shot to the neck and one to the heart/liver..

For me the big 2'' hole was great. The negitive for me was keeping the blades together. There is nothing like having to snap one of them in as a deer is moving in position.

i personally have had all passthroughs im shooting 70# though they have been a great head to me so im sticking with them.as the gentlemen said above they did come out with new 2 blades for lower poundage bows maybe give them a try.

thanks hetley 75 i did what u said and got them rage heads for lower pondage, i got a bad sholder, so it's hard for me to pull back 70 pounds, i got my ( DXT ) set at 65 pounds, i slamed a doe this morining at about 15 yards, complet pass thru, thanks for the advice, i apperichet it, thank you.
