Illegal in Washington.

thats what I thought but you know washington cant just come out and say expandables are illegal!!!

Look in the regs under "Equipment"...all of the specifics are listed about hunting tips under "Archery".

I was told (not verified), mechanicals are legal for the first time on turkey only.

P.S. A sold single blade will always be more dependable than any "high tech" mechanical. Besides, look at the satisfaction you will cheat yourself out of not tuning your bow to shoot fixed blade tips well. Heck, I think getting the darned thing to shoot properly is half the fun!

Stingers will kill turkeys...and pigs and deer, elk,etc. and fly wonderfully!

Does the Rage come with a lifetime warranty?

Expandables/Mechanical are illegal and worthless in my opinion on big game. Watched a good friend make an unfortunately bad shot on an elk this year with a Rage expandable. Shoulder shot, arrow penetrated 3 inches at most. Found arrow 30 feet from location of shot, both blades were broken off. I say stick with a fixed blade and preferably something that is solid one-piece construction like a Montec or Magnus. My

Hopefully he wasn't in Wa when you watched him. Yep, montec and stingers are what I use, and there are a plethora of good heads out there.

No, we were in MT. Apparently they are legal there. I stuck with my Montecs and after he saw how his Rage held up, he had a quiver full of Montecs the next day.

Have had no problems with muzzys. One of the strongest replacable blade broadheads you can get.

Lowedog · « **Reply #11 on:** November 30, 2009, 05:09:40 PM »

Montecs have always flown like field points for me!

Thunderhead, Nitron, Montec for compound; Magnus and Zwickey two blade (with bleeders) for my recurve. I want to try the new Ashby heads now but they are spendy!

Slicktrick standards 100's fly like field tips

JPhelps · « **Reply #19 on:** November 30, 2009, 08:05:27 PM »

Slick Trick Standard 100's. Shoot awesome.
Also the bull I shot with it this year didn't like it either. Huge exit and he only ran a 20 yd dash before piling up.

low97ram · « **Reply #20 on:** December 04, 2009, 06:15:01 PM »

interested in the slick trick broadheads. i did hear that they shoot like field tips, but do the 4 blades affect the arrow spin/travel?

thanks

WAPITIHUNTER · « **Reply #21 on:** December 04, 2009, 09:16:35 PM »

I use these cheap Wasp Bullets

They fly great and make a big exit hole.
