Curious about some of the Rage turkey broadheads that we’re recently released. 2”+ cutting diameter? Sounds like there wouldn’t be anything left if you missed the head and took a body shot

I’ve read the same thing. I do think in reality it would have to vary to a small degree at least

Out to 50 yards for sure the Grim Reapers hit the same as my Field points.
So do my BloodSport Grave Digger hybrids.

I'm really liking the hybrid designs. Even if the mechanical fails, you still have the fixed blade. I am using the Grave Digger chisel tips, my son is using the cut on contact.

Excellant,50 about my limit on a jump,that would be rare,Whitetail have no answer to a tree stand,got to be the ultimate,to watch a 6or 8 walk slowly in from a distance.Only got one shot got to make it count.Off the subject.Last sept guideing in northern Ont,Had two rifle hunters who wanted to "try" the bow,Tryed to talk them out of it but no,it was obvious they were not bowman,boss said go,Yep,tracked that blood trail forever never did find that bear what a shame.

I was lucky enough to get some serious mechanical broadheads at a decent price from Wholesale before they closed. Have yet to try them
