    I'm sure most of you have seen this, I seen pics they posted on their facebook page. I didn't think it was real....lol. I'm not trying to start a bashing thread by any means. It's just the first time I seen these I thought no way it was real. I guess it is.

    This doesn't look like it should be going through a deer or any animal. I think it looks like something that belongs in a movie like Blade where that one girl shoots those vampires with a bow and arrow. JMO it looks ridiculous if I saw this a while ago like you I would think it looked like a prototype gone wrong. It seems like Rage is trying to one up everyone again.

    Wow...it is real. Thanks Justin! I honestly thought it was a joke when I seen it a while back. Then when I seen it on their page I was kinda shocked to be honest. That is just old looking. I'll stick with my Swhackers and Magnus Stingers I guess.

    I was thinking they looked like a Decepticon symbol...
    They also look like they'll stop on a dime, which is not a good thing in a broadhead. That's a lot of metal in a very small area. I don't care how sharp the blades are, if you put that much surface area in that small of an area it ends up acting like a thumper head, especially if any one of those blades deforms in any way (which happens with rage blades with regularity)

    Think of it like a bed of nails...you can walk on all those points when they're close together, but if you remove some of the surface area (remove 1/2 the nails) you end up with holes in your feet.
