Good points man, but we know. Do a search, this has been debated and argued soooooo many times. Obviously, people buy things b/c of success stories or possibly trends. Rage broadheads work, i have seen their effects. There are advantages and disadvantages of both fixed and mechanical, we all know that. When a consumer goes to buy something they haave to weigh out their options.

You have a very good cons list for mechanical bh's. You apparently support the use of fixed blades and you believe your way is the only smart way. On the same note, someone that is an avid fan/product pusher for mech. bh's, could type up an essay similar to yours showing the cons of fixed blades, adn the advantages of mech. Its an endless circle and its all about consumer preference.

I have found that the performancepros of the rage head outweigh the cons and that is why"I" shoot them. And theyDO Work for ME. But i am not generally saying that rage heads are great or will cure everyones arrow flight issues.

And asfar as the aluminum arrows go, we have definately (theMAJORITY) foundby weighing the pros and cons,carbon>aluminum. But you have found/believe that that setup works well for "YOU".

Like i said, you have avery goodideal/theoryand make a verygood point/argument, but the other sides is just asgood
BTW, not trying to argue, or be offensive, just opening it up a little bit.
