I would skip the rage, use a steel force phat head, stinger or other good quality fixed head, the mechanical will reduce your penetration and a moose is certainly no tiny deer!
Shuttle T black ops! You will not regret it. Most accurate fixed blade I have ever shot
I shot rage for 3 years and picked up
Some shuttles for the heck of it. Don't
Plan on switching for a very long time.
125 gr. Magnus Stinger ( 2 blade ) make sure it is sharp. Main blade grinds that come from the factory are not sharp enough! The chisel points from the factory are OK however, the main grind needs finishing work IMO. Use one of the sharpening jigs available so the Broad Head remains balanced.
The very best hunting Broad Heads are Ed Ashby's ( the most expensive and worth it. )
I've used slick trick stds for elk for years. The Exodus will penetrate better, but only 3 blades versus 4. I don't think having 1 more blade makes that much difference.
If you hit a vital or slice a major artery, the sucker will be dead. Penetration is more important though, and that is why I choose the exodus.
I have also used steel force phats, and muzzy 3 blades. The Exodus penetrates the best of all, and are tough little suckers.
Another good one is wackem 3 blades for penetration.
I will be shooting Grim Reaper Fatal Steel,1 3/8 Razortips and Steelforce Phat heads....514 gr arrows,70 lbs..and yes,i drew a bull tag for archery season.....Good luck..:thumbs_up.Grizz
I'll be using Grim Reaper 1 3/8" Razortip this year on my moose hunt. I'll also be carrying 100 grain Thunderhead Edge fixed blade broadheads in my quiver. Should be a good year.
The Exodus would be awesome on moose; it would be my first choice. I have taken Wildebeest, Gemsbok, Kudu, Bull Elk, and Bear with the Exodus. They have an incredible balance of cut size, penetration, flight, and durability.
Moose are bigger I would probably go with a magnus stinger 2 blade with bleeders. I would bet you would be fine with mech. but I would go with a good fixed blade. Also you should check what the local laws require you to use on moose
I am blowing thru my broadhead targets with the Exodus Swepts.
The 2 or 3 models of Slick Tricks I shot before the Exodus didnt have the penetration that the Exodus are showing.
I would use the Exodus without a doubt. Very strong, flies well and very sharp. I have hunted moose 6 times and took my first bull with a 3 blade out of my longbow. I would also use a heavier arrow. Good luck.
Exodus, I shot 2 moose with them, and have been super impressed!
