thanks for the advice, and your right they are a little exspensive but ill have maybe think about trying something like that because spending a little extra might just bring you in that one keeper buck.

I won't recommend an expandable for you Nick...The PSE Nova with a 28" arrow at 55# will not give you the kinetic energy needed for consistent passthroughs...(GOOD BLOOD TRAILS)...but any of the other fixed blade heads mentioned will work fine for you...remember its not the speed that kills its the arrow placement. If I had to pick one for you it would be be 100gr Slick Tricks...

I have been shooting the rage for th past 2 years. Last year I took a good buck and 2 does with the 2 blade in MN....devistating holes. This year I switched to the 3 blade because of the law here in SD. I took a turkey in the spring and missed a good antelope with them, not the heads fault for failure, but rather operator error. This fall I punched a buck with 3 blade and it did not deploy!!! The head was right in the sweet spot but just entered the skin and lodged the arrow. This stunk, but a neighboring hunter saw him 2 weeks later and said he looked fine but still had my arrow. They were not part of the recall heads. I lost some confidence in the head so I pulled out the slick tricks and center punched a good buck. 1 week later I pulled out the rages again and had a great pass through and watched her drop right in front of me.
Even though I had one bad experience, I will continue to shoot the rage. I also shoot slick tricks which shoot with my field points. Yesterday I shot the g5 montecs and they shot along side the rage,slick tricks, and my field points. Tonight I am hoping to get a good field test on them 
Broadhead preference is all about personal choice and more importantly placement. Take suggestions from others and try a few of them with your equipment to find which one shoots best out of your rig. Fixed or expandables? For me it's a toss up, I feel the expandables may give me a few more yards of effective range.....as well as huge holes!

I've heard alot of good things about the rage broadheads. I shoot the Muzzy three blade 100g because I like to have a consistant pass through with my arrows. The thing about the rage that I personally haven't heard talked about is the exit hole. Even on the commercial for the rage, they only talk about, "You won't believe the entry hole". That's about the only question I have about this broadhead! Do you get a consistant pass through? Just curious is all...it's all about personal preference and what a person is comfortable shooting! Just like someone stated earlier, it's the placement of the broadhead/arrow that makes the difference!

Dartkoski to tell you the truth, the only consistent pass thrus I have had the last 5 years is with the Rage 3 blade. 4 for 4 on passthrus.

Now how did I know you would be the one Lip to answer me!  That's cool though...I just know some expandables lose there energy when they deploy and will not exit the animal! Thanks for sharing! Good post too!

Hey guys, this year I am replacing my arrows. I have in the past been using the Carbon Express Terminator series. They have worked fine and I have no real complaints about them. However, I have been hearing a lot about the new CE Maxima arrows and the whole "Weight Forward Technology" does anyone here shoot these? If so how do you feel they preform compaired to the older style carbons?
I would like to start pushing my range out futher than 35yds. Will this new arrow get me there consistantly?

I shoot the Maxima's. I am comfortable to 40 yards with them for sure. Where I hunt, there isn't alot of opportunity beyond 30 yards, but if I had a shot, 40 yards would not be an issue. I did take a doe at 32 yards with a Maxima, tipped with a Sabretooth
