Stormshadow Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I want to try Rage broadheads but I am not sure which specific models are NY legal. I would prefer to find out prior to spending 45 bucks... Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendog Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 2 blades are legal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince1 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) all are legal. they don't lock in place so they don't get stuck in the deer like fish hooks unless they have a set that I am not aware off. just google the set you want and make sure they don't lock in place. watch a vid of em Edited September 4, 2016 by Vince1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been illegal in NYS since they came out, a picture of that particular 3 blade has even been used in the regulations book a few times now I believe, to show it is illegal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Core Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 If you do want some 3 blade, I bought from Walmart last fall (it no longer has them this year for some reason), Torid SS. They were about $14/pack and 80 grain with 20 grain collars to bring the weight up if desired. Blades don't lock in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb4900 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 this comes up every year, there is enough doubt about the 3 blade Rage being legal why even risk it? if you do a search you'll find more then enough info saying that they are not legal, so use them at your own risk.

Stormshadow Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Thanks everyone. Looks like 3 blades are out. I'll check the 2 blade designs, they have 3 or 4 different ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBDEric Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I've used the 2 blade rage. Only input is make sure you are shooting 55 + lbs. Never had a pass threw shooting 50lbs. Went back to slick tricks fixed and have gone threw both shoulders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiefbkt Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 They make a head for lighter poundage bows, Rage SS. Specifically designed for lower poundage and low KE bows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four Season Whitetail's Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Low poundage should use cut on contact. After back surgery i was down to 50lbs and the Stingers were still blowing thru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubby68 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 my brother bow hunts and uses rage 2 blade. this is the exit hole on one he got. With a hole like that I would think 3 blade would be pointless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjb4900 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 If you're shooting low poundage I would take Four Seasons advice and go with the Magnus Stingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rage leaves massive wounds pulling a little lighter would be all the more reason to use the most devastating broad head possible!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, less draw equals less energy lets shoot one of that vest broad heads that are made. Yes when rages stay together they are devastating. I would rather have a 1" cut broadhead make 18"s of lent ration than a 2" cut make 6"s of penetration. Use what ever you want but your was of thinking isn't correct. This is from rage, read the last sentence. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle rider Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I've been shooting the 2 blade chisel tips for about 5 years. They are tougher than the others it seems. Or I bought into the hype... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Fixed blades are the way to go! I shoot both G5 monotech, and muzzy trocar.... Have arrows with both in my quiver and what ever I pull when I get in the stand is what gets used Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle rider Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 The G5's are nice but honestly who's got time to sharpen blades. I hate to say it but Rage heads make things idiot proof (which is just fine with me). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
