How about the new "Shock Collar" they have out now to fix an obvious defect in their original engineering? IMO, they should give those away for free to make up for using cheap o-rings to begin with. That was always my one major beef with them...

- 2012 broadhead selections
No one is arguing which head is better or worse...I never once said a Rage was a "better" head.....I said I like them and I will continue to use them!
FUnny.....Worked well on this elk at 50 yards....
Ya, thats because they were not origionally designed for large game....Thats a well known fact.....We are not talknig aobut large game....We are talknig about whitetails......But I figured I would toss a photo up for you anyway.....just to show, even though not designed for it.....They do just fine on Elk.....
Out of curiosity how many deer have you personally killed with a slick trick????
.
Wow.. That's a nice blood trail in the snow Kaiser... Here's one from a brow bear with thick fur.. Slick trick.
Facts are facts. A solid fixed blade head is an all around better head..
Your comparing apples to oranges....A grizz has probably 2 gallon (or more) blood than a whitetail....... Im sure any head shot in the exact same place would do the same......

Congratulations on your brown bear, muskox, elk, and decent buck. Great shot placement on all of them!

How about a Muskox

Apparently.....Since I have yet to have a problem with them....and so many people claim to have had rage failures that cost them animals.....Just sayin

Been shooting them for I think 6 seasons now. If count serves me right about 9 personally. 3 bucks 6 does. No does the past two years with a bow and 1 buck last season.
How many deer have I personally seen shot with tricks? Considering every guy but one at deercamp shoots them. About 30+ That I've personally looked at in the past 5 years. The majority of which I helped drag and or butcher.
They do just fine on elk huh. Good luck finding a guide or outfitter that will recommend it to you or even allow you to shoot them on an elk hunt. It's nice to see you say they aren't designed for big game btw. Tricks are. Its nice to have that confidence that when I settle that pin, I know I'm driving it home. No matter the shot, no matter the angle, nothing stands in the way, and my broadhead was designed to perform evertime. Not when conditions are right. Is it still debatable about which ones better then?

You made a comment about them animals being mine when obviously they aren't as if that somehow changes the performance.

I dont rely on people to do something I can do on my own....So that wont be an issue... Did JD require you to shoot slick tricks in order to shoot one of his bucks?
Again, I never said one was better than the other...you did.....
And Im sure you never once saw a deer lost to a slick trick either?
Its weird....I have been shooting Rages since 07 and have yet to not get a shot off at a buck because the "conditions" were not right... I must just be really lucky.....So must my dad, all my buddies...my neighbor....etc....
I guess the good news in that if your ever hunting on JDs property and a cape buffalo, grizzly, muskox, moose etc....walks by...you will have the piece of mind to know your broadhead is sufficient...
No need to beat that horse.....Joe has slick tricks....Strong enough for a whitetail....but designed for the bone structure of a horse..
I honestly didn't know. Sorry. I guess the point I was trying to make is every animal was smoked. Broadhead style was irrelevant
