10/2/2023 0 Comments Rage vs grim reaper broadheads![]() I just find its the easiest way for me to share photos.I shot and recovered a 12 pointer yesterday morning that I shot quartering away at 20 yards. Here is a link to my deer killed this year. Many of the people (most from my memory) have hhad the major problems with the 2 blades. I use a hip quiver so that doesnt happen, but they are certainly harder to secure than most mechanical heads. ![]() I will not disagree about the blades getting loose. whatever thread or anything.ītw, I do like your idea Dopler about pulling out an arrow for a second shot. Im not arguing here or promoting the rage, these are just my experiences from this year and are factual accounts that i can let you see. The arrow caught liver and both lungs so you can imagine how far it traveled through her. The one bent blade imo is very acceptable for the angle the shot was on the deer. No broken blades, no lost deer or fault in the broadheads part. Thats two of the marginal/awkward hits and both brought the deer down in my sight. The other shot on my buck wasnt a marginal shot so i wont speak of that one. That one, I had a blade bent and was unusable. She was hard quartering away, hit multiple ribs etc. I watched her eat the ground so it didnt matter.-The other time, was my first doe of the season. The arrow broke off and i didnt have a blood trail but. I honestly wouldnt expect many to pass through on that shot so. The arrow stuck in the opposite shoulder, no pass through. One was a direct shoulder shot, partially quartering too me. I have had two marginal shot experiences with my 3 blades this year. There wereseveral exampleson this site alone this year where people hit the front shoulder on quartering frontal shots and the rageblades broke off beforemaking it into the boiler room.Īnother thing to consider on the rage,lets say you shoot, make a marginal hit or miss and get the opportunity at a second shot, are you going to have time to pull an arrow out of your quiver,reset it's blades like you have to before putting the arrow on your bow and firing thesecond shot? Ihighly doubt it. The rage blades break if they come into contact with bone, they work fine on perfect hits but on marginal hits, they break and it's on the marginal hits that you need the cutting power more than anything. I tested both, the reapers blades are much muchstronger than the rage and the heads stay together in the quiver unlike the rage heads. I'm on record as really disliking the rage design so if you must go with a mechanical and not a fiixed headthen Reapers hands down. Thats why i shoot the 3blades More penetration and cutting surface. To each his own of course, but as for me,I'll take a small entry wound, huge exit wound and a pass-through over apossible, and I emphasize "possible"huge entry wound and no exit wound with the arrow running away with the deer. The Rage, from all acounts, seems to be an outstanding and devastating broadhead, but there have been quite reports from guys shooting good bow setups who haven't been getting pass-throughs. It's a good idea to touch them up, but it's a p.i.t.a. The down side to the Grim Reapers is two-fold. I have an exit wound AND an arrow to look at and judge when I climb down. The realup side to me in shooting the Reapers after reading quite a few different threads on here is that every one of my 9 kill shots has been a complete pass-through and in the dirt. Every deer that I've shot with them in the past two years (total is 9) has died quickly. I started with Grim Reapers last year and I see no need to change.
