Default RE: A thought on the Great "RAGE" debate.

ORIGINAL: IAhuntr


I agree and I believe the problem is in the tip. The cut on contact blade style tips tend to stick in bone instead of penetrating and breaking bone like trocar style tip. I've shot Rocky Mountain Gators 2" 2 blade with the trocar tip for years and never not had a pass thru.The bad news isa couple years ago Rocky Mountain changed their tip design to a blade style like the Rage.[:@]
See I think the problem is the angle of the blades in the fully open position.Rather than slicing through tissue, barely obtuse angle with respect to the ferrel the 2-blade Rage's have give a "snow plow" effect.

Someone in the first thread made the comparison of cutting a steak by pushing down with a knife vs slicing through it..... perfect example IMO.

If they would make the entire head LONGER, and make the angle more obtuse, I think you'd see fewer folks talking about not having passthroughs.
