I recently purchased some 2-blade Rage broadheads. Sure enough the practice Rage tips flies just like my field tips, dead on. Well, when hunting Sunday afternoon I had an unusual miss on a large doe. I felt confident about the shot, but thought nothing of the miss, other than it must have been my nerves. Since I had a dull broadhead now, I decided to practice with it just to make sure it flies true. I replaced the o-ring, and went to the range. After the first shot, I knew something was wrong, in flight the arrow made a loud buzzing noise and landed 8 inches right of target. All other shots with the broadhead gave the same results, way right. I later determined that the blades were coming out during flight, so I placed a small rubber band around the blades and shot. All of these shots with the rubber band were dead on just like my field tips and practice tip. The Rage broadhead I tested had new o-rings and still released in flight. Has anyone else experienced this? Was this just a bad batch? I'm just glad it wasn't a big buck I missed.
