Cabin Fever Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I was checking out some videos on YouTube and stumbled across this one. Rage 2 blade bloodtrail with a less than ideal hit. It sure does the job and then some!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 That's awesome. I was thinking about trying the Rage's this year (coming from fixed blades) but I'm having a hard time dealing with the price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Man Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 i'm amazed he ,doesnt know what he shot, button or doe...not really hard to tell the difference when hunting with a bow, if its shot at a reasonable range... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetMike Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I shot a buck in a field last year with a 2 blade rage.. I could see the spray from about 150yards. If there was snow on the ground I'm sure it would have looked just like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyDaSavage Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I got my first ever Bow Buck last year with the 2 blade rage and the blood trail was huge. Deer dropped at 75 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntography Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 That blood trail was unreal. I've filmed a Rage kill and the deer died within a few yards of the tree. The shot was well placed but I was shocked how quickly she died after the shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Hunter Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I really want to try them out. I only shoot about 45 pounds with a 29 draw length, so I'm hesitant at trying them out. I really want to use the 125-2 blade broadhead since my field tips on my arrows are 125 grain but I'm still a little hesitant to because of my lower draw weight. But since I see how they are pretty much pushed open from hitting something I don't think my lower weight would cause any issues. Seeing this wants me to get them even more. Will my draw weight effect it any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Hunter - They do make a Rage 2 blade specifically for shooting bows with short draw lengths and/or light draw weights generating less than 40 feet-lbs. of kinetic energy. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Rage-40KE-Two-Blade-Broadheads/745469.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3DRage%2BBroadheads%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts%26x%3D11%26y%3D9&Ntt=Rage+Broadheads&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno C Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 i took a 7 point last year with the bow, quatering away. perfect shot the deer went not 20 yards and took spill right where he stood.... dropped a doe that went 20 yards also. Dont get me wrong you still have to place a good shot but even marginal shots can be rewarding given the right period of time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 The one thing that this video highlights is just how much blood a deer can lose and still be on it's feet. I'm sure the guy was thinking that the deer had to be "just around the corner". Long before he found the deer dead, I'm sure he was thinking that there is no way that a deer could lose anywheres near that much blood and still be moving. Pretty graphic stuff showing just how tough those critters are. Anybody think we could lose that much blood and cover that kind of ground ..... lol.

ResQMedic121 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I was surprised about the amount, or rather the absence of comments on the Rage Broadhead. I have lost more deer to a rage then I have gotten. Also I do not think it is fair to the game we hunt to be OK with marginal. If you hunt high in a stand.... more then 20 yards. Shoot angles....greater then 15 degress. Also lower draw weights. Fixed blade work well and I have never had problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u812sds Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 it does'nt matter what you shoot as long as it's a good shot.i have been shooting rage broadheads for 4 years now have'nt lost one yet.usually the deer is within 50 yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdswtr Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) LMAO,, wow thats a big one is it a doe or a buck fawn. If you got to ask if its a fawn then it aint a big one. Then the dude ask did you have a hard time tracking it. Edited September 2, 2011 by wdswtr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
