    My Rage against RAGE Broadheads - With Video evidence

    Yes! valid point, a friend of mine with a short draw length and a 60lb bow has had a few problems with Rage Hypodermic on African plains game. I also like fixed broad heads too for certain applications: Grizztrick, German Kinetic, Phathead

    My Rage against RAGE Broadheads - With Video evidence

    Yes, resultant momentum is probably the top final consideration I'm constantly surprised at how easy a tune is lost too! In your opinion why do you think so may people have bad experiences with Rage, or was it predominantly with earlier types?

    My Rage against RAGE Broadheads - With Video evidence

    What are your Thoughts

    IMHO I would guess that this is summed up by "Caveat Emptor".... Buyer Beware!. Any endeavour be it expedition, mission, African hunting, seems to require forward planning. The 7 P's! Prior planning & practice prevents piss poor performance! You wouldn't skim read any contract! thus armed with...

    2015 African Hunt, Thoughts on these rifles?

    Thanks very much Gents! Very helpful and much of what has been mentioned has been already considered by myself. The two weapons will eventually become mine, so I'm inclined to now definitely take them. Diamondhitch..... are you of the opinion that the .300 is "overkill" with a high...

    Has anyone hunted in the "tactical style" or military style desert boots?

    I have used Danner boots extensively.... good quality, durable with a good after sales service for repairs, resoling etc. for warmer environments I have had good results with both British Army high-leg desert boots and bizarrely the cheap Magnum desert boot. IMHO, the more conditioned your feet...
