I went and bought a couple 6 packs of Muzzys just in case. Rage heads are stupid expensive, I hope they don't take Muzzy down that path.

I shot Rage for a few years, really liked them but got scared when one didn't open on a doe. She didn't last long because of shot placement but it made be nervous about using the heads.

I have 3 blade Muzzys and 2 blade Rages. I like both. I don't get it, though? So the company that makes Rages was already named Muzzy and now they bought Muzzy? I work in PR and Communications and that release is confusing to me. Maybe its just family members or friends transferring ownership rights?

The first name mentioned (Muzzy Outdoors) has either got to be a typo (s/b Feradyne Outdoors) or Feradyne added a layer called Muzzy Outdoors in preparation of, or once they acquired, Muzzy Products. I agree, confusing. More hunting time for Michelle

i won't argue with you there....there were "some" issues like 4+ years ago. but the evolution of the head has really changed it in a lot of big ways! The Tip is way better now and the hex screw makes changing out the blades a breeze compared to the old push pin. I'll give you one and let you try it if you want to smile

I bought a set of the new chisle tip rage for bear pretty excited to tip my x-bow with them. Went to their web site an saw they had a head for x-bow with a cut on contact tip, not sure about those for a heavily mucled boned bear, sen to many picture of a cut on contact tip bent after the shot. this new chisle tip looks great to crush thru ribs.

I have shot the Muzzy 3 blade for years and they do not disapoint.

Few years back I also used some Rage heads and they also are awesome. I cannot believe the hole they put in a deer and the blood trail.

Looks like my Fav fixed head just got ingaged to my fav expandable.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
