Rage is coming out with all new heads for this fall so it might just be a marketing ploy to get guys buying the older type of broadhead before they go out and buy the new one a few months later. The new broadheads are doing away with the annoying O-ring and going with a locking system the resembles the G5. That said, I will shoot the rage 3 blade, although I have an old 2 blade that a buddy shot a deer with last year and I may use it since I have never used the 2 blade. I have never been impressed with the two blades when comparing blood trails and entrance/exit wounds to the 3 blade when used on whitetails.
