![]() ![]() The speed and power are quite similar though Rage broadheads are a little more expensive than grim reapers. And Rage broadheads are the latest technical broadheads. But Grim Reaper broadheads came in the market long before t rage. Grim Reaper Broadheads and Rage Broadheads both are highly performed. Which is better, grim reaper broadheads vs rage? However, making a decision might be difficult which broadhead is best. A good broadhead will also help your crossbow last longer. Hybrid broadheads truly give you the best of both worlds, but should be used with these caveats in mind to avoid disappointments.Strong and good broadheads are always required for crossbow accuracy and aim. This also serves as a word of caution to those at the low end of the energy scale - women and youth shooters,or anyone shooting less than 55 pounds and/or drawing to less than 27 inches. This is all well and good for those wielding average (which bow manufacturers tell me is 65 pounds at 29 inches) to high KE - pushing a larger hole deeper into game than identical-sized true mechanicals. Hybrid broadheads are four-blade designs by necessity, their mechanical blades typically cut in excess of 11⁄2 inches wide. Again, all other factors remaining equal. A 1 1⁄4-inch mechanical penetrates better than a 1 1⁄2-inch mechanical, which penetrates better than a 2-inch model. ![]() Two blades penetrate better than three blades, which penetrate better than four blades. Though hybrid designs should theoretically drive deeper than true mechanicals with identical cutting diameters (all other factors remaining equal), due to less resistance while starting the cut with fixed blades verses the extra energy required to unbind and fully deploy retracted blade sets, it must be remembered that any time blades are added, or cutting diameter increased, penetration is slowed. Problem solved, though equipment should still be tuned as fine as possible. Switch to an old-standard 4-inch or cutting-edge air-foil fletching (such as NAP’s QuikSpin). Bohning’s high-profile, 2-inch Blazer Vane - and those that followed - were decided trendsetters, especially in the age of streamlined mechanicals, but might not make ideal choices when steering fixed, or hybrid, broad- head designs in real-world bowhunting conditions. ![]() Perhaps an easier solution to this dilemma is simply adopting larger fletchings, sometimes choosing a slightly stiffer shaft if on the cusp between two deflection ratings. This requires more time and knowledge, or paying a professional to assure tuning is done correctly. As a bowhunter who lives in a state where mechanicals are NOT legal (including hybrids), I know properly matched and tuned bows and arrows CAN be tuned to steer fixed-blade broadheads true, even at the fastest speeds. Hybrid broadheads, recall, hold fixed and exposed blades, which are more prone to grabbing passing air and causing “wind-planing” deviations in flight. Reduced blade surface area, often mirroring field-point profiles, meant straight flight from the fastest bows, even from bows less than perfectly tuned (not a real solution, but reality in many cases). As with anything archery related, for everything gained something must be sacrificed.Īrchers took to true mechanical designs as compound bow performance outpaced their ability to fine tune archery equipment correctly - and as range capabilities began to stretch. The logic is sound: peace of mind, 100 percent reliability, deeper penetration with less energy, bigger holes through deer and presumably faster kills. ![]()
