This is not a war thread about broad heads. I have used Rage two blades for 4 years now with no issues and have killed nine archery deer with them. I still use my compound bow, but last season I bought a 2009 Parker Cyclone crossbow. I did kill a deer with it last year and I was using a Rage two blade broad head. With the speed that the Cyclone is hitting ( 350 fps ) I worried about the blades opening in flight. What I did is take a thin slice of 1/2" heat shrink tubing and put it on the closed blunt end of the blades. This gave it a little extra tension in the closed position, but still easily opens on impact. I have shot the broad head this way and it is flying just like my field points, but is opening on impact upon hitting my target bag. So between the Rages O-ring and the heat shrink tubing, I don't think there is anyway they are going to open in flight, yet it is small and soft enough to pop right off at the target. Just thought I would share it with you guys. Here are some pictures.
