I have shot 2 deer with the rage. They were both complete pass thru's. Both deer only went 50 yards. I have heard nothing but good things about recoverys after a deer is hit with the rage. Thats whyI got them. I dont think i will change for a while. Have you seen some of the entry wounds and exit wounds even if its not a complete pass thru the deer wont go far. You have such a big hole in the deer thats they lose alot of blood.
