Hey heads up to all of you guys that are using Rage and other expandables, you might want to keep an eye on this post in the TWRA section in case you haven't seen it already.
http://www.tndeer.com/tndeertalk/ubbthr ... w=1#UNREAD

It looks like the Rage 3-blade and the G5 Tekken are being classified as a "barbed" design by the TWRA and deemed illegal. SCN said they are going to try to look at the Rage 2-blade in the coming days.

Just a heads up for you guys!

Glad I shoot fixed blades! :)
 
Rage, it's like throwing your wallet through a deer :D

What about the Tekan design from G5?
 
Glad I shoot Slick Tricks. I know a LOT of hunters using the Rage broadheads though. I've thought all along that the Tekan should be illegal, but the Rage catches me a bit off guard.

I don't get why the 2 blade would be considered barbed

It very well may not be. It is obviously barbed from the pictures if the blades don't pivot for retraction. We will try to get some in hand in the near future to see if the two blades lock into position upon impact where they don't meet the barb less criteria.
 
I wouldn't call the Rage barbed. The 3 blade must fold up different than the 2 blade. You can turn my 2 blade heads upside down and the blades fold up without touching them.

I agree, I dont shoot them but a friend of mine does, I have looked at them and nothing about them would make me think "barbed"

I think it was BGG that said that they were considered barbed.

To be fair it was I who said that I thought the Tekkens were illegal. I based that not on word from the TWRA or my knowledge of the broadhead itself. I searched other states with similar laws where this question had been asked and officially answered. The Rage 2 blade is considered legal. The Rage 3 blade and Tekken are both considered illegal.

I feel about the same way, I can't afford to spend $40 then just have to throw them away, some of you might be able to but I sure can't

Muzzy broadheads have always done an excellent job for me. That's what ya'll get for buying into the HYPE, if its not broken don't fix it.

I'll be shooting the 2 blades.
Who said we're buying hype. I've seen first hand what these broadheads can do. I don't consider that hype, rather first hand experiance. Glad you like yours, but you have no business judging others for what they decide to buy.

How many deer do you kill a year with a bow?

yessir same here
 
Rage 2 blades are the most destructive and devastating broadhead for deer on the market! Any of you guys that disagree, then go ahead and post pictures of what "your" broadhead does and i guarantee you that the rage 2 blades are MUCH MORE DESTRUCTIVE! It aint hype if it works as advertised and in this case it certainly does!I have killed 9 deer with the rage and havent had one run more than 40 yards yet even on less than perfect shots! The majority of them havent made it 25 yards!Hype... I dont think so.
 
I intended to buy a pack of 2 blade Rage BHs this year because I've seen the devastation and I really want to try them out. I'll wait for TWRA's ruling first, but I hope they're not deemed illegal.

I agree, I have lost a few deer with muzzys and thunder heads but I have never lost one shot with a rage. I think the people who are against them just cant accept the fact they are not shooting a fast enough bow, cant shoot well, or just have a bias because they actually perform like they say they do. "its like throwing a axe through an animal" lol
