Default RE: 2 Blade Rage Penetration

I've killed 2 deer with the Rage, one last year, and one this year. Last year, I had about 5ft/lbs less KE and get a pass through at 35yds. This year, I shot my deer at 10yds quartering away and didn't get a pass through. It lodged in the off-side and made it through the hide, but not all the way. He ended up pulling it out in the end.

I guess you have to consider how much these heads are cutting when they get inside an animal. The one I didn't get a pass through on, hit 6 ribs. [:-]. 4 on the way in, and 2 on the offside. [:-]

Dead deer, either way. Bloodtrails on both were great.

You'd probably get better penetration with the Slick Tricks, but they won't be as devistating. Yes, I know they'll kill one just as good, so no one start that argument.
