Grimreaper VS. Rage
I used the Grimreaper Razorcut last year and was highly impressed on the penetration and damage done. Since last year, I have heard several people talking about the Rage and how good it is. A buddy of mine saw a thing in a magazine the other day that ranked the Grimreaper #1 for mechanical broadheads. What does everyone else think?

I have used Grims for the past 3 years and love them. I have had hunters come out to the ranch with Rage heads and they either love them or hate them. Everybody I have talked to about the Grims, love them!! -
I have no experience with the Grimreaper but have heard a few good things about them. However my first hand experience with Rage has been shooting them full time for deer this year.
Now with that said just a couple thoughts. If you like the Grimreaper shoot it and dont think twice about changing. Also, something else to think about on that #1 rating. It very well may be rated #1 but I always question who is actually ranking them and how was it deteremined. Alot of subjectivity tend to be in those tests...Comment

I thought the same thing but my buddy stated that the guy doing the rating shoot one of every blade, side by side and then measured the opening and damage.Originally posted by Stins View PostComment

I have a buddy that swears by the reaper.I bought a pack last year to test them.Must be great right?NOT.....I shot my first hog ripped all the razors off and I didn't recover the hog.Recovery might not be the heads fault but the blades were.Shot my second hog ripped all the blades off. Recovery this time. The third head is laying in a ditch and i'm back to Muzzy.JMOComment

I've herd good thing and seen pic of the GR. Rage has put alot of money out for all the TV people to shoot them. I've seen pic on here of the Rage holes. I shot Vortex last year and they go through the net just fine. No problems with hogs either BLOOD,BLOOD,BLOOD. Ray Charles could have found that blood trail.Comment

my guess is that they will open a they go thru the netting, but have never shot them thru any, Grim Reaper states that you open the blades and use them in fixed position to shoot thru meshOriginally posted by Ragin' View PostComment

Don't know a thing about the GR's but 2 weeks ago I put a pig down with a rage 3 blade that went only 40 yards. He only went that far because I made a bad shoot. It was way for back but the intestines were hanging out both sides.Comment

no experience with the grims but i know i absolutely love the 2 blade rageComment

Got some Rage 2 blade bhs for Christmas. Shot a huge Axis doe out of a ground blind..not through netting. Just opened the window and shot. I hit right where I was aiming. Watched her run off. Found my arrow w/very little blood and lots of meat on it. No recovery.
They found her 3 day later. She was almost dead. The arrow struck her right behind the shoulder and redirected straight up and out her back. I hit her perfectly broadside so I'm not thrilled with Rage but I have lots of friends who come hunt on my place with me and they've knocked dead em with Rage 2 blades. I would never do a spot and stalk with them either cause they tend to open up and rattle. Reapers did great but cost to much. They are a one shot deal. You could use em again but I perfer a new one cause they bend a bit and get dull after pushing through just one animal.Comment

GR's are the best head as far as penetration and damamge. I got that mag were they did the test and GR's placed in the top three. Surprisingly, Eastman bh's did very well. They might need a second look.Comment
