No longer on sale, reg. price is about right. A lot of people like the Rages, some don't. They usualy open properly and perform well, but every shot and animal is different.

Muliple use? Maybe. Honestly, I wouldn't; they are expendable IMO. You can buy replacement blades, or resharpen if you're good. The collars supposedly are reusable 2 or 3 times, but they are cheap insurance to biy new ones.

They are basically the same thing without the o-rings that hold it together. I’ve also used the Gators with no issues.

I'm also not much of a fan, I've seen tons of videos of people who did well and I hear a lot of good things. But when I've used them I lost a couple because of the mechanical side of things. All I use is fixed broadheads now like I did in the past and have a good success rate

Yes and no. That’s a pretty cheap price.

Rage has been great for me when I hit the deer just right.

Hit one in the shoulder and it stopped the arrow cold-shooting a pretty fast bow and Gold Tip 75/95 arrow

I prefer Slick tricks or Red Feather fixed blades single bevel.

Rage does leave a large hole-needs a certain amount of Kenetic energy to function properly
