    Looking to arrow a Bobcat this season and wondering if I should use my Rage broadheads or switch to something else? Any suggestions?

    Try the New Bobcat 750s
    They have a 7 headed mechanical rotating blade that will drop any bobcat within 150 yards.

    I killed one with a blunt between the eyes. Dropped him dead! No hole to patch.

    If you shoot one with a Rage, I'd be prepared for a huge slice in the skin to sew up. I am thinking a smaller head with something like a 7/8 inch cut would do nicely. Don't think I would use a dull blade, sounds cruel. My cat between the eyes trick was mostly stupid luck... I swore off shooting them after that... I felt horrible because I did it for no reason.

    I'd probably use something like a NAP Nitron, Shuttle T, or a Slick Trick Standard if I was concerned about the hide. Good call...

    I shot one recently witha G5 T3... Absolutely put a hole in it and wasted it in 10 yards.
