I shoot a Destroyer 350. I had a rage open in flight and caused me to shoot like 6 feet over a deers back. My Dad and Son witnessed it. The metal spider clip sold me on the T3.

I love to bow hunt ,I've been bow hunting over 35 yrs lol , multiple bows and the same with broad heads , I shoot a Mathews outback now and a 4 blade muzzy , the four blades are easier to tune than the three ,I tune all my arrows with broad heads , this will improve your accuracy , my bow has about a 70 yard range and then you will be aiming at the moon , I can hit a pop can at 70 with this set up just about every time

you ain't lying, I was set up abt 15' off a canal bank in my climber year before last and had a monster doe lol (honestly the biggest doe i've ever seen).......any way i'm watching her walk staight into my shooting lane and was 100% ready before she ever made it to my lane, im sitting there smiling to myself thinking man this is way to easy, (where she is walking out is less than 20yds from me)  ......anyway she stepped into my lane without a clue that I was there looking the other direction, I drew back, settled in and released....as soon as I let go I knew something was wrong....that arrow sounded like a flock of woodducks buzzing the decoys as soon as I released......I watched it hit in the canal about 10' over her back...... 1 of the blades on my rage had opened when I released.........needless to say that was that as far as rages go for me.....I switched to nap bloodrunners and had had nothing but good things to say about them. I killed a coyote, 2 does and a bobcat with 1 3 blade bloodrunner broadhead before I retired it. I like the fact that it doesn't matter if they open or not, they are going to cut and make a wound channel.

Couldn't pay me to shoot a rage or any other expandable. I'm hardcore trophy hunter, if the biggest buck of my life is coming in chasing a doe, last thing I want to worry about is an early blade deployment or more importantly staying away from his front shoulders. I shoot G5 montecs, strikers, and an occasional 4 blade muzzy

I've personally seen too many sob story's of guys losing hellacious bucks to rages in the shoulder. Sure I agree they are devastating with the right shot placement but I don't want any asterisks placed on my broadhead when I'm hunting for big bucks

I have been using the Sonic broad head for yrs. complete pass through on everything shot. You could not pay me to use Rages or Swackers. Seen to many not even pass through deer, let alone big 250-300lb hogs.

Rage two blade wont shoot anything else. 100 grain. Killed a doe, ram N three hogs with them. The doe dropped in her tracks, one hog went 10 one went 15 one when 60 yards. The ram when 15 and died. Always leave a massive entrance.  They say on the package they open in flight. Read the label

Muzzy 100gr 1 1/2 cut, only lost 2 deer and both were my fault for not giving enough time to bleed out. I dont trust a mechanical bc of the reason justin explained.

i used to shoot rage until i was in my stand and one of the biggest bucks ive ever seen came into shooting distance when i let the arrow fly it opened midflight and messed up the flight path and didnt hit the deer ive shot a few deer with rage and liked them until it opened midflight. so now its either slick trick schwacker or muzzy.
