    I have decided to go with the rage broad heads this year. But i can't decide between the 2 or 3 blade. What are the pros and cons and what do you recommend? thanks

    Its really up to you. 3 blades pentrate just slightly further and 2 blade have slightly bigger holes

    I started with the 3 blade and have since switched to the 2 blade. I for some reason like the 2 blades better for deer, and the 3 blades better for turkey. I'm not sure why:dan:

    For the 2 blades though, I prefer the titaniums. They're way better constructed imo.

    I've killed deer with both. It's just a coin toss.

    I use the two's and the only downfall is penetration compared to fixed heads. Im trying to new chisel tip this year tho so we will see.

    I use the two blades. I am using the 2 Blade Extreme this year. I never have had a problem with penetration with the 2 blades. They are Awesome Broadheads!

    Why are you solely looking at Rages?

    I got the Kill zones. Better technology keeping the blades closed. And by far sharper.

    I've shot both. I prefer the 2 blade because it can easily slip in between ribs and not get stuck in the ribs like the 3 blade has done.
