just picked up some rage 2 blades.....been a muzzy 3blade guy all my life.

not sure I like them, or not yet. I like the idea of rear blade deployment etc...best design for a mech out there IMO.

But I was thinking, doesn't it take up some of the arrows energy to push those blades open? therefor sapping force used to push that blade through the animal vs. a solid cut on contact etc...type broadhead.

The smaller cross section while in flight I like for better long range/ wind bucking characteristics, but I'm not sure about a few things, 1, using energy to deploy the blades, and 2, being a mechanical, things seem like more parts to go wrong, also the tips seem very dull, the blades seem sharp, but thigns seem flimsy, so I don't know.

Considering Montec G5, or NAP razorbaks, in place of both my muzzys and rage 2 blades.
