i shoot the rage 3 blades and it basically looks like someone cut their throat

of coarse blood trails depend alot on shot placement

but they work great for me

One of my hunting partners shoots the 2 blade rage from his Exomax. No problems and it makes one heck of a hole.

I have one issue with them. The blades do not like to be retained by the o rings. I carried the 3 blade most of last year and found that any rough handling like putting them into or taking them out of a quiver can loosen the blades. I guess in the end it's no real big deal because you can always check between pulling them out of the quiver and putting them on the bow but it's something I'd rather do without.

Good point. I just got into a solid habit of checking the blade seating before sliding them onto the deck. I took 5 deer with Rage 3 blade and all fell between 18 and 55 yards.

I use the 4 bladed kind, never a problem with deployment, great accuracy and terminal performance to boot. Tough as nails; one is working on it's third deer. Slick Tricks mags.

The rage practice head hit the same exact spot as my field tips. I shot a piece of sticker about half the size of a stamp at twenty yards. Both hit the same spot. I shot my first deer with a rage 2 blade on sept 19 the deer dropped so it did its job. With the great flight and big wounds you can not ask for more. Maybe just lower the price.
