    I have shot both Rage and Killzones. Overall I like the Killzone better because there are no O rings or plastic rings. I am also of the opinion that the blades on the Killzone are sharper out of the pack. I say opinion because I have no proof its just what I think. If you already have a quiver of Rages I would stick with them because they are not cheap and both will put meat on the grill, I just like one better. Good luck and no matter what you chose I hope to see some pics this fall.

    i tell ya what, ive been tempted to switch over to the killzone 3 blades, but i have way too many rages to just abandon. The hypodermics are some SERIOUSLY sharp broadheads also.

    Only used the killzones and really liked them. I have had friends prefer them over the rages but I cannot tell you why they said that.

    I have two buddies who shot they Rage's last year, when I shot my deer last year with the Killzone, both of them decided to switch to the killzone, Deer only ran about 30 yards and hit the dirt, put a awesome hole in the deer and flies extremely true.

    I use rage, my dad uses killzone. Both have similar wound trails and fly almost identical. Killzone is a little better design, but I still have rage's to go through. After that, I'll probably go killzone.

    I have shot both, and in my opinion, the Killzone is a much better built and sturdier broadhead. I found that the Rage tended to open up too easily, either when removed from the quiver or when the arrow lightly tapped against the stand or tree. The Killzone has a much better retention system, and stronger blades, and is a bit easier to change out the blades as well. That said, I much prefer a three blade broadhead, my choice being the Spitfire Maxx.
