I wanted the 50-60yd pins specifically for coyotes. We have an infestation and I won't hesitate to sling a long range shot at one of them if I feel I have a good chance at it. It's one of the stipulations for two of the properties I hunt, let no coyotes walk by.

To be honest I did not recover either deer I shot with them. Both were good boiler room hit's. Very little blood. Neither passed through. I switched to the Montecs and allmost all have had a pass through and easy recovery. Just my 2 cent's though.

You really can't beat the montacs for being tough and reliable. The SS are hard to get really sharp but are indestructible, the CS take an edge that is scary.

wow I dont like that, I think I will be looking into replacing them before I sit in the stand thanks for the heads up. My buddy shoots the Montecs and loves em but I wanted to try out the mechanical broadheads, any recommendations on those seems the general consensus is rage

I like simple, a single piece of steel is simple. Easy to touch up the edge's and I have not had an issue with group's. It's not broke so I am leaving it alone.

Lot's of guy's love Rage too, I never used them. My son Zack (professor Backstrap) does. Big hole going in, never seen one come out yet. Seems like he has to replace them after each deer too. Can't give a thumb up or down really.

What are you shooting for a bow? How much draw weight, arrow type and length? That will all play a part into how much energy you have to work with.

You should have plenty of power to push a mechanical through a deer. I wouldn't shoot a giant 2" mechanical but a normal sized one should work fine for you.

I bought rage this year shot NAP spitfires for the previous 3 years.
Next year I will be going with G5 T3's its the best of both worlds rear deploying blades, bone busting tip and no rubber retaining system.

Unless they changed something, the T3's weren't legal in NY. I really wish they would do away with the barbed broadhead rules.

Get the G5 T3's and be done with it Erik. That is what I am shooting much more durable then Rage! Completely legal for you and I 8)
It's not being cocky if you can back it up!
