With a small hole, I would agree with that. None of my 9 deer shot with a Snyper went 100 yards including the gut shot one because I left him lay. On a gut shot animal (bad hit, margin of error) I'll take the huge devastating holes of the Snyper or Rage over the Muzzy holes I used to have.
Now don't get me wrong, I also carry G5, Muzzy and Slick Tricks but the first arrow out of the quiver has a Snyper on it.
Rob I agree with you on that. In that scenario(gut shot) the gashing rip to the gut will probably put them down quicker overall with the rage. Iwas referring to a bad shot like a heavy shoulder bone hit, etc. I personally feel like a good fixed head has better odds of busting through, and doing the job, than a rage does. Just my opinion, and that is where my confidence level lies.
This is one of those things that can be debated to death. Bottom line is we all just need to have a well tuned setup, andbe totally confident with what we use, and do our best to make a good shot.
I see it like the analogy of "if I have to think about whether he's a shooter or not - he's probably not".
If I am in my stand "wondering if my head will do the job" ... I probably should be using something else.
