That makes a lot of sense. Last few deer were a pass through using rage, but I was shooting around 48lbs. I'll grab some heavier arrows and do some testing.
-
40 yrs of bow hunting, 20 plus yrs of using mechanicals and lots of deer later, I've never had a mechanical fail. I did however have a fixed blade fail. Had a bear razor hit a shoulder and it bent in the shape of a"L".

Have a client who's yard is full of black walnut trees. In the 10 yrs I've been mowing his lawn, I've never seen a squirrel touch one.
-
Interesting. Butternut must be more palatable. Do the tree rats in the finglakes eat the black walnuts? Never seen a butternut in my area, or if I did see one I definitely had no clue what it was, lol.
-
Haven't seen a butternut in my area. Realistically, I don't think I'd recognize a butternut if I didn't see this video. All I can comment on is I haven't seen a red, gray squirrel, let alone deer, pay any attention to black walnuts.
-
Not a tree rat, gray or red touches them. Interesting how areas are so different than others.
-
Very nice video. The only thing I'll challenge is the wildlife eating black walnuts. Have a few clients with black walnut trees, and haven't seen a squirrel, deer or any other critter eating them in 25 yrs.
-
Not for me. Not sure what advantages it has over a pump.
-
Sorry, I've killed many deer with them. Every broadhead has failed stories. Most can be contributed to the angle of the shot not being what the hunter remembered. Only reason I want a fixed blade is because Rage doesn't recommend a poundage I'll be shooting.
-
Ok. I haven't shot traditional in 30 yrs. Took my first deer with a Bear recurve. Being the statue of limitations is long over, I was 13. Took 4 more yrs to get my second (first legal) archery deer with a Browning compound. If my shoulder could handle it, I'd take up traditional archery in a heartbeat.

Been shooting Rage 100g two blades for yrs. Never a issue. Killed countless deer. No failure even at 50lb draw. However I'm dropping to 45 or even maybe 42lbs. Looking for a REPLACEABLE blade broadhead. Remember, I'm probably going to be shooting a 500 spine arrow.
-
Good lord that looks like fun.
-
Holy crap. Not a user name I recognize. Glad you realized he's a POS before you sent any money, but I can see how one could let there guard down if it a forum member.
-
That I don't know. If You can PM me the user name, maybe I can remember a thread they posted on. Understand if you don't want to go that route. Also at the bottom of the main page, there's a list of those that are currently active on the site. Haven't tried it, but maybe you can click on em there?
-
click on the user name, then click on the right hand box( there's 3 boxes) it brings up all there posts. Just tried it on you, and it worked.
-
I'm looking to switch from rage this yr also. Not because I had a bad experience. Always killed the deer I shot. But I'm only pulling 42lbs this year, and concerned about them actually deploying.
-
As mine. I own 8.2 acres. Have permission from all that border us to shoot. Just can't do it.
-
Curious. If you own the land, can you legally shoot? As long as you're 500' from your neighbor?
-
First campfire in well over a month due to the endless rain.
-
Sounds like you have some fantastic options. Looking forward to seeing some pics this hunting season.
-
When I hear upstate, I don't think of Worcester, lol. Either way, congrats on the property. How many acres?
-
That's fantastic. Congrats on leaving this shit hole.
-
Agreed. I get em fairly close, but it's a PITA, lol.
-
I would think once a month would be fine depending on how many hrs a week your mowing. Thankfully my zerks are on top of the spindle. Would be a PITA if I had to access them underneath.
