Just pin wheeled a doe tonight with a rage .
LOUD watermelon thump as I saw the lighted nock going through.
Doe ran across a big hay field. saw her go over 350 yards like she wasnt even hit
WTF

picked up the arrow the rage didnt open

Another rage story.....Dan your not the first person that I've heard of having that problem. Also heard of them opening up in flight and going who knows where. I used them myself and killed deer but I rather have big hole coming out too not only going in. Ive been shooting the Spitfire Max for a few years and love them. Fly exactly as field points. Good luck and hope you find her.

There seems to be no "middle of the road" opinions on the Rage ... people either swear by them, or at them.

That's because you have people that believe the fancy advertisement and have had good luck with them. When they work they do a great job as any broad head.

Then you have guys that have had opening issues either not opening or opening in flight. Any mechanical you can't trust 100% of the times will leave a bad taste in your mouth

I like the rage 3 blade, shot a 5 pt with my slick trick and found 6" of arrow in the deer with a rage that didn't open, wound looked to be only a day old. I've heard the 2 blades are better and horror stories from the 3. But people still buy them. Sorry about your deer, it should lay down and be there in the am.
