I have never had a problem with rage heads. All of those deer, not one penetration issue.
In fact, the only none pass throughs I have had were on one doe, and she was drastically quartering away, so my arrow burried into her off side shoulder. And, my buck, but that was the same deal, smacked the bulk of the offside shoulder bone.
So, all pass throughs.
Also, keep in mind that a Grim Reaper has forward deploying blades. So, the blades are not open upon impact like a rages are. Reapers leave a much smaller entrance hole.
There is not another head on the market that compares to the rage. The CLOSEST thing would probably be rocky mountain snipers, and MAYBE that piston point design...Still dont compare on cutting surface.
The new Undertakers(1.5" cd)from
Trophy Ridge Broadheads : Rocket Aeroheadslook sick and they have another one that's been aroundcalled the Hammerhead (2" cd) which is devastating. I have been using both the Grim Reaper
Razorcut(1.5 cd)and the
Razortip(1.75 cd) in the past couple of seasons and they are DEADLY. I spine shot a buck in 06' and the Razorcut broke the bone severly, I have seen broadheads stick in the bone andcut the spinal cord causing them to drop but I had never seen one cause a break in the bone.
Not knocking the Rage because I know a lot of folks love them but there are some other great heads out there, the Rage is simply the next "BIG" thing right now, a cool broadhead but they didn't reinvent the wheel.
