I think he shouldn't have said a word about how the band is removed and just says about the hair so people wouldn't think it's an issue. As soon as the tip makes contact the blades are deployed fully.

This is where marketing plays a big part. I personally think this broadhead has a much better design than the Rage and if they'd put the money in like the manufacturer of the Rage we'd be hearing more about these heads.

Instead of relying on the shoulder of the blade to force open the blades this broadhead uses the tip pushing back to force the blades into position and they stay that way until after exit. On angled shots the blades would work th same way as from straight on. This has always been deficiency with mechanicals that kept me from using them.

I'd like to see a slow mo of the Rage on an angled shot. Unless both blades are tied in to open together even if only 1 shoulder is in contact I'd think that you could have a late deployment on an angled shot.

darbz18, do you know if this is true or not?

Another good point is that on a shot that does not go the whole way through the animal the blades reverse direction for removal.
