My wife and took 2 bear each in Alberta this past May. She shot both of hers with a Rage 2 blade and I shot one with a 2 blade and one with a 3 blade. The results were amazing.All shots were pass throughs(my wife shoots 55 pounds and I was shooting 70) and the entryand exit holes were huge. Until shooting the Rage broadheads, I wouldhave never considered a mechanical for Elk. However, my wife has a Cow Elk Taghere in Arizona in about a month and she is using her 2 blade Rages. I am very hopeful that I get to see their performance on something as large as an elk.
