Picking out a broadhead...

[Panhandler80]

First year with the crossbow, but like I have done the past few years with my V bow, I"m pulling my hair out trying to decide what to shoot this season.

I have about 3 weeks before we open, but it'll be here before I know it.

I have had varying degrees of sucess with Rage 2 blade out of my Matthews and I'm considering giving the Rages a shot with my new Excalibur.

Question for those of you that shoot Rages... Do you use their "Crossbow Broahdead" or just the regular 2 blade? The "Crossbow" is 1.75" cutting diameter, whereas the the regular 2 blade is 2".

I kind of like the idea of the 2" cutting diameter, even though it comes in only 100 grain. The crossbow version comes in either 100 or 125.

I use regular rage 2 blade broadhead,and have no complaints...I didnt even know they made special broadheads for crossbow's until this year...I like the hole they make,and they fly straight too!

The crossbow version has a much better hold on the blades. I've got both. The regular version isn't held as tight, which is why they pop open in your quiver. A 1/4" won't matter if you hit it in the right spot. I would and did go with the 125 grain for the better FOC.

Ah ha...

I was wrong. It looks like they now offer a 125 grain original 2 blade... the one with the 2" cutting diameter.

I'm shootin an Axiomm with the Exel string, so we're only talking like 285 fps. I don't think I need to worry about the blades deploying prematurely at that speed. Do you guys?
