Black Eagle Rampage Review
The Rampage is Black Eagle’s mid-price standard diameter hunting shaft, sold sorted for straightness and weight one dozen at a time. Not as fast as the Airstrike, not as heavy as the Spartan, but the tightest straightness tolerance in the sub-$150 category.

Where it fits
Deer hunters who want the straightness of a premium arrow at a mid price and are willing to source their own inserts and nocks. Black Eagle sells them naked, which means you build to your own weight target instead of unbuilding a factory-fletched arrow.
Common complaints
Because they are sold as bare shafts, first year bowhunters underestimate the total cost. Add $40 for aluminum inserts, $20 for nocks, $30 for vanes and a build session and the dozen is closer to $200. Vane bonding is also fiddly on the Rampage exterior; scuff sand before glue.
What forum users say
Black Eagle straightness sort is honest. I have never spun one out of tolerance from the manufacturer.
