Bear Strike & Rage Heads

[fasteddie]

I have never heard anything negative on any of the magnus broadheads . I have never shot any of them either .

[eagle rider]

I was intrigued enough to order some more of them tonight.  I'll mess around with them a bit.

I want to try some four blades this year, my brother has a couple of Muzzy's that I can try, he love's em.

funny you say that, I have a buddy who swears by them the 100 gr 4 blade MX.  He's saying the blood trails are terrific and the only difference is the MX has a thicker blade.

[fasteddie]

you'll be surprised.  My bow is just over 300FPS and my arrows are 300 gr,  I was going to try the pile driver arrow but I feel in love with my new Gold tip Pro hunter arrows. I'd say pick up a used set and shoot them into a 3d target. Then shoot your muzzy into same target.

I have a Parker phoenix EZ-Draw bow set up at 28 " - 70# draw and

a Ben Pearson setup at 28" - 62# draw .

I am shooting 430 grain arrows which includes the 100 grain Rage expandables .

They seem to do the trick . The lighter arrows are faster but I would rather hear

the "thwack" from the heavier arrow than the "Blip" from the lighter arrow . My

youngest son shoots a 800+ grain arrow with a single bevel cut on contact fixed

blade . Those babies make a real thump when they hit the target .

They are shorter than the regular 3 and 4 blades too, I think that might help reduce plaining issues I see from longer distance's. I'll find out when I try them out.

i tried the rage 2blade gave them away not for me... got sick of them popping open just walking to the stand i think they are sloppy while belly crawling trying to get a shot at one of the big bucks i chased all year they kept deploying every little thing they touched ...

[eagle rider]

yeah, that doesn't sound encouraging.

Put three Rage 100 2 Blade practice tips on three Easton Epics's this morning in a Block target at 20 yads usingthe 70 pound Bear Strike.  You couldn't fit a match stick between the arrows.  The group was field tip tight!!!!!  Very impressed.

Glad you like them and good luck with them. Keep us updated on your use in the season. I'm loving my slick trick mag 100's. Bow is tuned up and I'm cutting fletching with them  ;D

[eagle rider]

aaaahhhh the pleasure and pain of good broadhead tuning. 

[G-Man]

Rock, i though they're suposed to deploy easily... no deployment failure, i think your using them in the wrong application, would be fine in a treestand or a large ground blind (as long as you don't try to shoot thru mesh windows, heck crawling around i would use a fixed blade and a backquiver! I've taken 3 buck with rage 2blade heads 2 from stands and  1 on a spot n stalk with rage no deer made it further than i could see watched them all drop. Don't get me wrong they are by all means not the only head i use(i use steel force as well) but they do group well and give consistant flight nessary for good shot placement! 

[eagle rider]

I shot my rage practice heads again this morning.  They are really as consistent as field tips.  As good as I was able to get Muzzys to group in the past, these are definately tighter. 

[G-Man]

eagle, my steel force and rage shoot exactly the same i use the steelforce for bear and elk as i am looking for more penatration 1 1/4in, but deer are thin skinned and narrow chest cavity nothing beats putting a 2" + hole in one!

[eagle rider]

nice, that's good tuning.
