Default Busted a Rage Practice Broadhead

Hey guys I'm just wondering if this is common. I just received a pack of Rage Chisel tip 3-blade practice broadheads and was shooting at 20yrds. I robin hooded another arrow and when I pulled them apart the rage head had broke. the aluminium that has a blade retaining screw in it broke right off and the fake blade flew out... I've got like 6 shots in this thing. Is this something I'll see commonly?

Anytime u robin hood an arrow, consider both those arrows and everything attached to them, except the first arrows tip, now garbage. That`s a tremendous amount of force on a tiny surface area.
I shoot those all the time and haven`t broken one unless i miss my foam target.

Practice heads are made crappy. Probably a common occurrence when hitting something hard.

Grim reaper practice heads are built tough.

Some practise designs are built as strong as the actual broadhead...if certain practise broadheads break easy or malfunction it may be insight on how the actual head performs...

Default Not a fan

I won't beat this up much, just want to add my two bits...not a fan, too much energy loss.

Ever try a Wac'Em? the are sold at Canadian Tire now, fixed that fly's like a field point and very sturdy construction.

I'm a fan of the 4 blade...no changes required, screw them on and hunt.
