What are yalls opinion or personal experience wither either both look good but the blood runner looks a little less chance of mech failure

The rage seems good too I just do see how the blades would stay deployed cause the move so freely

Never used a Rage....So I have to go with what I use...The Bloodrunner 2 blade is great. I have killed several hogs with it so far. It shoots straight and leaves a large hole. I like the fact that it is gonna cut either way. No chance for failure. All shots have been complete pass throughs as well. Either way should be a good.

I have used the Vortex 125 grain (2 blade) for years and it flies like a field tip and leaves a hatchet wound. I know it's old school but I love the way it flies.

Any broadhead will kill with a perfect shot but it is the marginal shots that require a wide cutting path. With the Vortex I have killed deer with bad hits just because it cuts such a wide path.

It is one of the original mechanical broadheads and the design is very simple. There is no way that it will not open when it hits due to the design.

I just cannot use something that only works about 50% of the time so my pick would be the Bloodrunner, Anything but RAGE.

I agree. Bad experience with the Rage for me.

Rage 3 blade - LOTS of trouble with all blades deploying.

Rage 2 blade - they explode if they so much as see a bone.

I'm not a fan, and I have tried them on lots of piggies. I shoot a Diamond Marquis at 72 # draw weight. Plenty of speed and KE.

I stick to grim reaper and slick trick.

I have made my rounds and now I'm back to shooting Muzzy fixed blades. No more worries about mechanical failures and they shoot great.

Here is a fallow that my buddy shot with a two blade blood runner.




If some animals are good at hunting and others are suitable for hunting, then the Gods must clearly smile on hunting.

WAC'EMS never fail to open...wait, cus they start out that way.

good lord thats a hole, looks like he took cut at him w an axe. its hard to dispute such evidence, and they do fly straight for those who cant get fixed blades to fly right. if i was gonna shoot a mechanical it would have to be the reaper..just looks mean as the devil himself
