GMATT, if you feel confident then you should shoot rage with no reason to defend yourself. I don't think anyone said that you personally shouldn't shoot them. If you kill deer with them, and you do, then that should be good enough for you. I don't hold anything against that broadhead, it seems to work well for many,but I won't shoot them simply because I have my doubts about anything other than Muzzy, that is what I have had most of my success with, same as you and the Rage. I feel that same way about Muzzy as you do about Rage. I think everyone got a little hot under the collar here, and I think it goes way farther than what broadhead one shoots. I hope this post and a lot others don't create or inflame any bad feelings for anyone. Im kinda of like Switzerland here....
