rocket mechs esp steelhead best head out there period. as for the devistation of a 2 blade rage they actually only cut a 2" slice if you take a 1.5" head with three blades its cutting just as much tissue or more. ill go measure one. and they do not penatrate like or better then fixed heads, they have a lot of blade to push through the deer and i know wiht most bows they work fine but the shows that use them have a lot of arrows sticking out of deer kill shots for sure but not as many pass throughs. if you have a big head its just not going to go through as easy. over the top heads work great my family and i have shot them for years and taken more then 100 deer with them.
You need to know and use the product before you talk about it. The Rage 2 blade does actually open beyond 2" on entry (very close to 3") before they slide in to the 2" position).
This has been beaten do death about the passthroughs. First of all the Drury's are shooting very low poundage bows (in the 50's). And Tammi Gregory from the Wild Outdoors, who shoots only 44lbs, has had multiple passthroughs. There has been multiple threads in regards to the devastation these heads have been doing to deer on this forum and on archery talk and mathews forum.
I understand you like Rocket heads and thats fine but why must you continue to put down the Rage head every time there is a thread about them. Talk about the Rockets on a Rocket thread.
As you have seen I have never said anything bad about the Rockets, (even though I certainly could). If you like them, great, continue to use them and let the Rage continue todo its job being the most devastating head out there.
If I remember correctly you are the guy who put down Jay Gregory for shooting a 190" in Iowa this year with a Rage. If who was still using Rocket (whichhe was using up to 2 years ago) would you still have a problem with his deer?
O, and by the way, on an earlier post you made a while ago you said you and your have taken over 50 deer with them and now it's a over a 100. Must have been one heck of a year so far.
