Was out hunting in the rain storm last week in the evening. Got a little too windy so went on the ground below my stand. About 5:00pm a buck came trotting down a logging road.He cut in the woods about 20 yrds. Looked like I hit him good but either the rain washed the blood,or the "RAGE" broadheads I'm using didn't get good penetration. Found my arrow there was about 4 inches dangling off the shaft with the broadhead attached. Found no blood.
My father went out this weekend and found my buck about 75 yrds from where I shot. Small 6pt. A couple of vulchers flew off it. He said it was a good shot in the heart area.Right behind the shoulder. I know how some people feel about the broadheads, what do you think??? |

| IMHO if that deer was only 75 yards from where you shot you did not search to well. No matter what BH you use if the deer dropped that fast it did its job. | ||

how about you go back and read what you just wrote. The deer was dead 75 yards away. It was raining. Water washes blood away?

Only 75 yards sounds like the head did it's job but you dropped the ball and gave up way to soon 
I'm guessing here but it would seem your a youngster and this is close to your first time out hunting, but you need to spend some serious time looking for an animal after you shoot it, it is a commitment you make the second you enter the woods with a weapon. __________________ Support those who fight for YOU

It's very disapointing to hear stories like this. 75 yards away from your shot should have been covered in even a minimal search. The problem is not the broadhead. __________________ "To be unarmed and therefore helpless in the face of evil is irresponsible and in fact complicit to said evil.

| That's alright I could take the heat. I took the time to look. Father said he was piled up behind a downed tree.I guess you could overlook certain areas in a rain storm and when its getting dark. | ||

monsterbuks it sounds like you just needed to put more time in. If you knew you made a good hit it wouldnt even matter if the blade opened or not. Field points kill animals. If it was raining your probably not going to have good blood or any.
Just remember once you decide to let an arrow fly that animal becomes your responsibility to recover __________________ To fish or not to fish...what a stupid question

I have never heard any problems with the 2 blade rage heads. A deer running 75 yards is no doubt not far at all and means you probably made a really good shot. I've heard of deer being shot bad with the Rage heads and not even going 75 yards. You can never give up on a deer. Always search hard. Glad he was found though __________________ www.jacksonprostaff.com

No blood w/ a heart shot If you plow a deer through the heart- you will get GREAT blood at first, then very little. Usually, a deer will travel further on a heart shot then a lung shot. So, I believe him. If you happen to be wrong about the location of impact and initial travel, but stumbled across blood a little ways away, after a heart shot- blood will be minimal. __________________ Semper Fi

They definately are NOT archery equipment and are more like a gun.
