Re: Deer Combo
I like the rage mechanicals for accuracy but I can't get a pass through and that means less blood for tracking. I found the last deer I shot in the morning because the blood trail was so weak. I'd much rather recover them when they are still warm.
Re: Deer Combo
2219s, abc steel sonics 125s, you swear u miss the deer, the arrows just blast thru em so quick, fly like fieldpoints out of my vortex, blood trail depends on the hit; took 2 eights this year one bled in buckets went 15 yrds dirt nap, the other 70yrds had to look a little harder.
better an overkill than an underkill

Re: Deer Combo
That's a good question and you'll get lots of different answers cuz everyone has their own personal favourite. I been shooting for years and still use the Firebolts but I've added brass inserts and refletched with Blazers. I'm a big fan of the Rage products. They've never let me down and they are accurate and DEADLY!!

Re: Deer Combo
Use to use the firebolts with rage mechanical 2 blades, never let me down. This year bumping it up a notch to BEA Executioners with Blazer vanes that Big John made up for me and trying the new Rage Extremes with 2.3" of cutting blades. I have never had any problems with my old setup but want to try something new. If it helps get the deer down even quicker its a win win in my book

What bow are you using? I use Rage & have had passthrough shots on all deer I have taken with the rage & had great blood trails with them....
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
Re: Deer Combo
Same here, Rage 3 have passed through every deer (12 so far) using my Equinox.bellerivercrossbowhunter wrote:Bunt wrote:I like the rage mechanicals for accuracy but I can't get a pass through and that means less blood for tracking.

Re: Deer Combo
I'm shooting the Phoenix with firebolts and 125 gr rage, on the buck I shot 2 years ago the arrow went in broke the ribs and stopped when it struck the rib on the far side. Maybe I need a heavier bolt/broadhead combination.
