Re: Rage broadheads

Hey why not give RamCats a try!, either the 100/125 gram. Shaving sharp fly like a field point and have a reverse cut blade to boot. I don't get the point of the reverse cut blade. I want my arrow to pass through going forward, not get stuck in the animal. Seriously don't we all? just think of it a...

Re: Scale recommendations

Can someone recommend a decent grain scale? I have (or should say had) a very nice lab quality scale that'll weigh to .01 grains but my buddy came by the house yesterday evening and without thinking he leaned on the weight pan and something broke inside. :cry: I'll have to send it off to get fixed ...

Re: Rage broadheads

Are the Rage crossbow X 2 blade broadheads as effective as a 3 blade setup? Or should one stay away from them?

Re: TOXICs $50/dozen

If anyone is going to shoot toxics this season there is a great deal on Amazon.com. Picked up a dozen toxics for $50 bucks. Seller is BOW MAN. Now they are shipping from China so it may take about a week or 2 to get them. For the price you can't go wrong. Most places I've looked at Toxics are going...
