Default RE: The reason im against rages

I dont know if the draw weight was the issue on the pig. I have posted this before, but a couple weeks ago on our hog hunt, our buddy shot a hog at 17yds with 65# draw weight using Rage 2 blades, and only got about 3 inches of penetration. I think the larger cutting diameter really slowed it down alot. Rages do open up fast, and usually thats a good thing, but on a tough hide like a boar Im not so sure. My over the top mechanicals with a smaller cutting diameter at 30yds got a near pass through shooting 55#. Maybe it was just a fluke or whatever, but just letting you know I have seen the same thing shooting 65#.
