I shot a doe last year with an XT and it tore her up. I double lunged her at 20 yrds and she went 40 yrds and fell over. The only reason i didn't use them this year is because i wanted to see what all the hype was about the Rage 2 blade. And i always said that if i didn't like the rage i was goin back to the XTs but i think i'll stick with the rages for now.
