Here ya go D. From the hot tub to the buck is 50 yards. I should have recorded the first shot, the second one in the video is high. I used a W7 sitting on the deer to capture the video. I don't know why but it makes me laugh every time I watch it.

You can see the blades do open on impact. I am surprised how much penetration I still got at 50 yards. I'm done punishing my litttle 3d Rinehart with broadheads now. This is the same arrow and broadhead I got a pass-though with on a doe last December. I plan on using the same arrow (new head) on a bear this week. This arrow also saw some action in Kansas on a crazy turkey (that I don't want to talk about.)

Just wicked holes with these things.

That vid is cool!

nice job! good luck on your bear hunt

xx

My luck, id cennter punch that W7.... lol.

cool video too, i dont think i could make that shot.....

That thought did cross my mind Trav. lol Probably why I shot high when the cam was sitting there.

Cool

Now I am waiting to see how a rage does on a black bear.

That video will be coming later this week

very cool trophy. it's too bad you can't get your hands on one of those cameras that you slow way down to see the entire flight of the arrow.

very nice!!!

I'll keep an eye out for it, Toby...or...a...Trophy.

Great video and I can't wait to see the bear video. Those Rage broadheads will do a number on em.

That was too cool!

Definetely cool! I just picked a 3-pack up the other day for this year.

Steve, I was out shooting mine yesterday and like on the video I could hear a hiss. I would be interested to see if you shot the same scenario with a field tip to see if there is a noise difference. It IS elk season here now and I am DYING to get out!

I hear the hiss you are talking about alot at the archery shop, and that's a just a bunch a folks shooting ft's.

I think that too, but some of the critics claim the Rage are noisier than others, thought that might be a good test.

Lance,

I've never noticed a difference between the Rage and field tips. I can tell ya one thing if the animal hears any hiss, it's too late. Lights out.

I'll try to get the cam set up again and shoot a few field tips into it.

Wish I was out West.

I think you are right, I was shooting the other day and I am shooting well out to 40. I am ready. Season has begun, a friend of mine killed a 5 pt in western CO and a buddy from WY said they have killed 2 (he does some guiding). He said the one bull already had 35 cows gathered up and they're bugling. It has been much cooler here so that may have kicked them in...however I am not sure the temperature kicks the rut in but I suspect when they are cooler they feel more like moving around. I am going up Saturday night or Sunday morning for a day hunt then the following Sunday I am going to go for about 4 days. Will let you know how I do, I wish you could have made it out, but how about next year!

Great shot and cool video.

Best of luck, hope you bag one. Next year sounds very good.

I am using Rage 2 blade as well this year. I just came in from shooting some last min shots just to check everything out. From 20 and 30 I shot 1 1/2" groups. Season opens in the morning. I feel like a kid on the first day of school.

I need to find someplace in W. Ky to bow hunt I'm only about 30 miles away.
Then I could start bow hunting in Sept rather then Oct.

How much are NR tags anyway ?

Hey guys I am going to chase elk on Sunday, then again the week after next. I am eager to give a bull a 2 blade Rage. Wish me luck and if i do, you can bet I'll post pictures. RDHC has been kinda quiet lately, season must be upon us. Any news from the bear hunters?

KY N/R huntin/deer tag will run ya about 180 bones.

and there are elk in Kentucky...

One bear registered in a huge area of 51. It's been sloooooooooooooooooooow.

Cool vid Steve, I dont' have sound here at work, but I was just sitting here watching from where you were shooting to see if I could make out the arrow on the way to the target...about the only thing you see is a quick flash then the camera jumps :)

Sweet video.

That was fun, I hear the rage heads more than field points, but my Slick tricks whistle as well. I like the 2 inch rage, sure hope I can open up a few animals with one this year.
