Mathews DXT 70ish lbs
Gold Tips
Rage broadheads

this combo has not failed me and I plan to stick with it until it does. My experience with the Rage bh's has been absolutely awesome, can't wait to see another blood trail inflicted by the Rage!

I bought a couple packs of 100gr 2 blade rages but after looking at them I dunno if I trust them. . . . have you ever shot a moose with them? I know guys like yourself who absolutly love them and say they leave a huge hole in deer. Who knows I might whack a doe with one to see what it does
