RE: cutting diameter
What some forget here is that ANY mechanical (not just Rage) is always going to have a certain amount of failure because it is a mechanical. Entropy, Mfg defects, poor design, human/hunter error, mechanical failure, are all part of the equation when using any product that moves.....or mechanical. Add into the mix that this little machine is being used on an animal that is very wary, has great senses, is extremely quick, and can be very hard to kill. Also bone structure and incident angles need to be considered.
The BIG problem with Rage is that their product is overly hyped (advertised) particularly on TV. IMHO they have set themselves up to be criticized.......some unfairly.......some because its the truth.
You gotta admit you rarely see these kind of threads concerning any other BH.
Just my 2 cents
