How are your Rage, Muzzy, SL, Bloodrunners etc...holding up for ya? My Rage are doing great! I have taken 3 with them this yr and one with a SL...all pass thrus for both and good blood trails as well...
I've got 5x seperate Rage's in my hunting arrow box that have been through deer, been cleaned up, new blades, and spun tested to still be true. Last weekend, that doe I shot was the second deer I killed with that particular head. With that said, I don't expect every head to make it through that many animals, I've just had good luck as of late it seems with re-using them.
My f-15s [Fixed] are holding up OUTSTANDING, razor sharp, look mean, no bent blades........... maybe I should shoot somthing with them?? :D
Blades are trashed on my 100gr slick trick, as is my shaft. On my clean miss on the doe a few wweks back the shaft and the head are good, but blades need replaced.
The Reign I've tried this years worked great. Passed through high shoulder,back end of arrow broke off inside cavity and still continued straight tragectory into soil 8 inches. Cleaned up w/ very small ding in blade that could be replaced if wanted.
Muzzy I hit a doe a little high at 30 yards. Not much penetration and no deer. I should have made a better shot, but it's got me thinking about changing.
My slick trick mags have gone through two does and the blades will just need sharpened, but I will likely just replace them as I am lazy.
I've shot two with Rage's and two with Slick Tricks. I also have killed 4 deer, enough said! They are all in pretty good shape. All COULD be used again.
I sent a Rage through an antelope's heart and into the offside shoulder. It snapped the head off at the threads. First time I've had that happen with close to 20 kills with the Rage BH's. I got another one that needs sharpening. Stuck it in the dirt trying to connect on a coyote that wouldn't stop for the shot.
I'd tell ya how the 100 grain Slick Trick held up in the buck I shot, but I didn't find the deer or the arrow
They shoot great, right with my field points, and G5 Strikers..I'm really hoping I can let one go one a deer to see how they perform. This is the first broadhead other than the Strikers that have seen the woods in many years! Oh...I hear they're like throwing a plane through an animal :D
