A buddy of mine had been using Montecs but he said he kept losing deer. Now maybe he was not having good shot placement but he blamed it on bad penetration. He shot a good buck and there wasen't much of a bloodtrail and he lost the deer. But from what i've seen he is a pretty good shot, but of course that could change when a live deer is in front of him. So i'm not so sure about the Montecs.
I shot a doe at 15 yards and hit the back shoulder No pass through. Unreal. I was so pissed. never found her. Holes just filled up and blood trail stopped shortly after I found the arrow. It was upsetting to say the least.
Needless to say, I snagged a pack of rages. gave one to my friend, and one to my girls brother. we went out and didnt get any shots, 2 days later I killed one. Right thourhg the back shoulder, 35 yards. almost identical placement. Arrow was lost, found it later 15 yards beyond the deer. the blood was unreal and the deer didnt make it far. It was much larger than the first much to my surprise.
A week later my buddy shot one at 47 (!!!?!?!) yards went through the heart and shattered the back shoulder, he is shooting 74 ft lbs of KE. but I was impressed, he apparently put the arrow about 1/5 inch in front of the heart, the one blade almost cut it in half.
Sticking with the rages.....
BTW I hear AMAZING things about the silver flames. they think of thier broadheads as a fine knife. not a disposable.
