Long Distance Broadhead

I've never tryed a hybrid design broadhead before like a bloodrunner, there deployment method isnt the best and they come apart on impact. You are better off going with a rage hypo for mech or the muzzy trocar. I haven't had any experiance with the trocar but have heard great things about them. I've had great success with the magnus stingers and grim reaper hades out to 80 yards
be careful with mechanical style broadheads, I believe it was the rage this last season was found to be malfunctioning for other hunters that were using them this last season. bucks where hit solid but did not go down, due to it not fully expanding. it's a sad state of affairs when tracking deer that do not go down after a 100 yards. one buck killed by someone I know had a partial broken arrow stuck in its shoulder. several does did not go down because of the same reason. lost because it did not die. only wounded.
My opinion stick with conventional broadheads

Pro's and con's to each but I have seen multiple times what that rage can do. That bear in my avatar was killed with a rage two blade. He died within 60 seconds and no vital organs were hit. Massive internal bleeding. Two bucks I personally killed while using G5 Montecs actually ran for quite a distance even when double lunged and a heart shot.
I also haven't heard of any rage failures. LBH2, if you have, I'd be interested in reading about it. We all have opinions but factual evidence is far better when considering a product. Often times a poor shot is to blame and I have personally seen that as well....

see the attached cabelas customer reviews.
if it works for you more power to you brother.

I use standard fixed broadheads.

I don't have short or long distance broadheads. Todays gear is pretty good. I will use mechanicals in a treestand but like fixed stalking or still hunting. The game is 90% in your head, maybe more.
Some critters are tougher than others. Get close as you can.

Your best long distance Brodhead is going to be the one you practice with. Archery is 90 percent repetitive action. Chose a mechanical like rage or a muzey fixed blade and practice and see what suits you. If you are trying to improve your distance helicoil your fletchings and get a drop away rest.
