Hunting Broadheads
Should I get a hoyt bow or a PSE??
I'm looking at getting a Hoyt compound 40-65# bow (used) for 250 dollars. It has a leather case quiver peep sights 11 carbon arrows stabiliser arm guard and finger guard with it, 3 broadheads and a few target points and a new string. But I also saw a used PSE compound 30-55# bow but it doesnt have any accesories with it except for a sight, and its 180 dollars. I want to used it for hunting stuff like hares. Which one should i get?
i also want to hunt bigger things are boars too big for a 65 pound bow?? they have thick skin around their ribs- i shot a .222 at one and the bullet mostly broke up on the outside- can a bow with broadheads get through this?
i never buy used archery equipment any more...i did one time years ago and to my dismay after i had it and shot 3 arrows the top limb seperated . after closer examination it was found that both limbs had hairline fractures that couldnt be seen by the naked eye. Be leary of either bow if it is used. as for which is the best...thats personal preferance ive hunted with PSE HOYT PARKER and MATHEWS...the PSE performed just as well as the other higher cost units

Techniques to Use While Shooting Rage Broadheads Into Target
Most people who start out with shooting can find the rage broadheads quite intimidating. Not only are these too expensive to lose on account of a missed shot, you need to know how to shoot to get the best placement and hit. Here are some techniques to get you started.
Use the practice head first
The rage broadheads come with a free practice head that is included in the set. You need to use this practice head if you are practicing shots or trying to perfect the flight of the broadhead. Using the real blades can prove to be difficult to work with at the beginning since they form barbs and tend to stick onto the practice head. It is also almost impossible to replace the blades because the screws tend to strip. However, this is just a rumor as many people have not had much conclusive evidence yet.
Turkey hunting
If you are starting out and trying to use the rage broadheads for some real hunting action then try hunting turkey first. The trick is to start with the smaller birds and animals and then progress onto bigger animals. That way, the chances of losing game is lesser. Plus, with the impact and large diameter cuts these rage broadheads make it should be a cinch to get small game down easily.
Removing the broadheads
Once you have fired the rage broadheads you will obviously want to know the best way to remove them. A lot of people have struggled with it simply because they just pull out the broadheads. This can sometimes cause the blades to even break. One trick to successfully remove the broadheads is to push out the blades to the backside. Then start unscrewing the blades and then finally pull the arrow out. This way, you will not damage your rage broadheads blades in anyway.
Shooting with your practice head
The practice head is meant for just that - practicing. It is in no way meant to shoot real game. The blades are very blunt and only shaped to make them look like the real blades of the rage broadheads. One good way to test the flight of these practice head blades is to take a Styrofoam sheet and then place a back support behind it. Then shoot at this target to see the effect. Typically, the practice head is going to fly just like the real rage broadheads blades. So, this will give you a fair idea about the flight of the blades.
The shot is subjective
While one hunter may find his or her practice head shooting well into a target, for another person it could be the exact opposite. It is best to avoid using a brand new target to check the flight with your practice head. Since the blades are blunt the impact may not be as much as is desired and it may not leave a mark as intended on the target. You can also use the real blades of your rage broadheads once you have finished using the practice head many times. This will give you a real good estimate about the flight of the blades and arrow shaft. Try using an existing target, which has already been used, if you are using the practice head.
