The little arms keep it from digging into the ground and/or under leaves. As such, it much easier to find the arrow than with a broadheadand. The damage is horrific. Rage 2's are $2 each and I don't like the thought of using/losing them on squirrels. I keep one in my pack and install it when the lil devils are really driving me crazy. I try to time the shot at the end of a morning hunt so that I can retrieve the arrow and then depart scene without scaring deer. It is also great practice from your treestand in actual shooting conditions.
