Yep, blades deploy very easy and they will with the slightest brush against grass, limbs, fence, etc...
I avoid Dick's and hope they fold.

I personally have been successful on several spot and stalk hunts with a rage. The major draw back is having to check the blades before shooting. I have had just as much success with Slick Tricks.

If they are so touchey wouldn't they deploy at the sudden jolt of the bow firing? I went to Academy and picked up some new Rocky Mountain 100 grain fixed blade heads that I've been using for years with great success, and for a moment I almost picked up a pack of those Rage heads just to try them. Glad I didn't since reading this post. I'm always of the belief anyway that if it ain't broke don't fix it!

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.
