    A bunch of good replies. Especially saving your shoulders. I used to shoot 80# but I learned the hard way. Now I'm shooting 65-67#. Im in the process of putting up a tree stand in my back yard to practice from, for a more realistic practice session.

    Probably the best advice I have seen in a long time.

    I would listen to this guy.

    The rage seem like a pretty good blade. I am a firm believer if you are confident in your shooting ability with the broad head it will do its job. I started with NAP thunder heads and shot them for a couple years. Then I used nap bloodrunner II which are a hybrid fix/mechanical which left an amazing blood trail but stop shooting them because I had to grind off 1/32nd off each blade to make them MN legal and I felt if I took a little too much off one side it would fly funny.
    I am currently shooting Grim reaper carni fours and love the way they fly from my setup so I think I will stick with them for awhile.

    So I guess what I am trying to say is you will be happy with either one they will both kill deer. Just do your job practice be confident and aim small and you will put one down.


    I do agree with others that have said 67lbs may be a little too much. I could pull back way way more than I do now 60lbs but I choose to shoot 60lbs because I can draw slow at any angle standing or sitting. Let the draw down slowly at any angle and can hold at full draw for as long as I want.
    That's just my 2 cents though

    Whatever head you choose I'd be adding atleast a 50grain insert as well. Boost the weight and FOC of arrow build.
