Default RE: Rage broadhead did NOT open

Kinda strange that it didnt open...
I dont really think those on this thread who are preaching their fixed blade broadheads are in touch with the numbers, or with reality for that matter.
This is the first post this year, at least that I am aware of, that stated that aexpandable broadheaddidnt open. Also, fixed broadheads have their disadvantages too,opening blades just happens not to be one of them. If I am wrong about this being the first post about a expandable not opening, please point it out to me, so I can read up on what NOT to buy!
I looked at the Rage broadheads and really dont like that slip cam design. Seems like they are really complex. The high KE of your arrow and the thinness of the paper might have led to the broadhead just passing through the paper...maybe try the same test with cardboard? This year I am going to be shooting Rocket Steelheads...they are a simple design that looks like they will open everytime. An expandablewith a rubber band is more likely to be consistent than a expandable with a camming mechanism, IMHO.
