Actually I didn't get very good penetration and there was no blood trail at all. I heard her crash 75-100yds in woods and managed to walk up on her.

The deer I shot the day before had a complete pass through and I did not make a very good shot hitting her in some of the gut. I didn't find blood on her at first but after she layed down and got up there was a good blood trail and she only went 40 yards. I fully believe If I had shot her with my normal muzzy I would not have found her but that Rage made such a big cut in the guts I believe that made the difference.

My son shot a really nice doe about a week ago on our farm. He shot with a Rage as well. Arrow was a complete pass through. She went maybe 35 yds. Great broadheads.

I love these comments. Actually if you'd shot her with a muzzy it would have went clean through and there would have been a great blood trail.
I wish I still had the pictures of the one I shot clean though, neck to ass, with a muzzy at 40 yards.

Negative, I have shot completely through the guts of a deer with muzzy broad heads and never found blood or the deer. That may be the exception instead of the norm as I don't make it a habit of gut shooting deer. However after seeing the size hole that Rage made in the belly compared to the size holes I've seen made by my muzzys I have good reason for believing that Rage made a difference. Do I prefer Rage over muzzy, well that depends on if I make a good shot or not.

and that's really all there is to it. Greater cutting surface allows for a greater margin of error. We all flub up every now and then and its nice to have some cushion when it happens.


Only accurate rifles are interesting.

Last muzzy I shot and the last one I ever will shoot went through both lungs and stuck in the ground on the other side. After I searched a briar thicket for an hour with 0 blood I threw the others away. I never found one drop of blood and yes I knew exactly where she went in. Didn't have blood where she was laying. Every deer I have shot with rage or grim reaper has left great blood even with a bad shot. I have shot through several shoulder blades as well.

Muzzy are definately the best on the market!

Wrong. Muzzy is not the best on the market.

I've shot clear through a deer neck to ass with a rage. What's your point?

I have shot spitfires the last 3 years and have had great success with a blood trai on 6 or 6 does. Now I understand a big bodied deer is different but I have been impressed

Which Rage broadheaddid you use? I'm guessing the two blade, but what tip? Hypodermic? Chisel? Could you be more vague...

I keep thinking about getting some of those broadheads. Hunters have such good results with them. I guess I'll keep shooting Muzzyes until then.
