There is a distinct sound made by the arrow in flight when one or more of the blades open I have killed animals with them several times. I was not a hater until I shot a very nice 8pt buck from 27 yards in the low rear paunch. The arrow took a dive to the left and I heard the zfzfzfzfzfzf sound

EXACTLY THIS! Except the part about the nice 8pt. My first two shots with the Rage opened at the shot. I checked the stupid O ring both times, blades were closed and locked. I popped a nice doe square in the hindquarter and missed another by a good 15" in front of the brisket. Shots were 25 and 20 yds.

Broadhead sounded like a bottle rocket going down range.

After those two shots, my last thought after coming to full draw was "wonder where the he## this one is going to end up". I got rid of the rest and won't go back.

Tried them once.

I use them they have worked good for me. There are some issues you need to look for before shooting them. The only bad experience that I had with them was my fault and it was bad shot placement.

I have used them the last two seasons and have had complete pass throughs on both hogs and deer. No problems so far. The buck I shot did not take 10 steps before falling over. I have noticed that it is harder to keep the blades in place now even after replacing the 0-rings. I will see what happens in a couple of weeks.

I have a quiver full of them. I have no complaints. killed 4 deer last year with them and watched them all fall.

Excellent choice Sinkey. Dont let the nay sayers bother you. The problem Rage had with their heads was mainly when they started using a roll pin to hold the blades in and they only used that method for a short period of time. This is when most people had the complete pass through but both blades gone problem. I think they are an excellent choice for anyone shooting a bow setup with descent KE. I dont mind paying $40 a pack for a head that I have complete confidence in. Spend all year feeding and taking care of the deer I hunt so $13.33 is cheap to put them on the ground quick.

I have killed 2 doe and 1 pig with the Rage 2 blade. 2 of the animals dropped in their tracks and neither was hit in the spine. One doe ran 50 yards and the woods looked like they were painted.

I have had good luck with them, and will continue to use them until I have a problem.

Don't remember ever shooting a animal that I didn't get a complete pass thru on and actually suprised at how far the arrow did travel after the pass thru.

To each his own and be it Rage or some other brand I do believe that you do need to have total confidence in your equipment. I'm thankfull that I have yet to have any of the experiences that others have had, but I do check and re-check my equipment and replace the o-rings if their even the slightest question on it's durability. So far the Rage family of 2 and 3 Bladed broadheads have worked for me and I will continue to use and vouch for their performance as long as they continue to perform for me. Good luck the season with whichever broadhead you choose to dance with.

You guys that chime in on here complaining about Rage broadheads need to go back to the beauty shop.

Just sayin'...
