Sick of Rage - Rec me a new Crossbow Broadhead

My wife is hunting in a bow only situation in Texas. Hogs and deer. Got a her a crossbow that shoots great, but the damn Rage broad heads deploy even in the quiver and I'm sick of dealing with them. How Rage has gotten so popular with that shitty plastic collar design is beyond me at this point.
Looking at Grim Reapers or NAP Spitfires. Anyone else have good recs?

You must be using the collar wrong. Do not line the blades up with the slits.
I've used them for many years and they don't get knocked loose in the quiver unless they hook something and get pulled hard.
If you're hell bent on switching check out the NAP doublecross

Ill pull them out and check again...
ETA: So they are on correctly, but one of the plastic flaps is giving way. These are rage hypodermic trypans. I guess Ill just order a package of the collars and replace them more regularly.

I don’t use a crossbow so I can’t say their crossbow specific heads are great, but I won’t hit the woods with anything other than a grim reaper. I tried others and found my way back to the reapers. Absolutely love them. No o rings or rubber bands. They are awesome heads.

Chief are they stout enough to punch into a hog? She has some big boars hitting the feeder and the grim reaper gives me pause as a three blade design, but Im not basing that on anything other than my thinking that the three-blade will lose energy a lot faster than the two-blade Rage. Thanks.

Go watch any episode from seasons like 2-5 of pigman the series. All he shoots is reapers. It’s where his term “high velocity splatter” came from lol....they are tough as nails

Never had a problem with Rage like you're describing, but I went back to old school muzzles a couple years ago. I couldn't be happier.

Check out Exodus broadheads. I shoot them and they fly well. Also have great reviews.

i shoot rage hypodermic xbow heads and have never had an issue. as someone else said, don’t align the blades in the collar skits.

NAP FOC, hands down. 170 grain, 3-inch cut. They fly true and will flat out punch 2 holes through anything.

Rage extreme for the win

125 grain Grim Reapers. My ten point cross bow loves them. If he's within 40 yards, dead deer.

Used these for the first time this year with my bow. Deer didn’t make it more than 30 yds from where she was standing.
