I see it as another Almost failure. Really, less than 20 yards and no pass through. I'd say you don't have enough KE to really be shooting these heads or two, your bow is so far out of tune it's a wonder you kill anything. At the distances you're shooting you should have to use both hands to pull the damn arrow out of the dirt. I haven't had a deer go 100 yards when properly shot in ... well never. I don't think I'd be ranting about the virtues of the broadhead. You're treading on a slippery slope it seems. And this was a little deer. What if the thing weighed 200 pounds and was healthy.[8D] Not trying to start a fight, but I wouldn't accept those results. I'd change broadheads or tune my bow.
Were you there? Do you know all the circumstances of what happened? Was the deer moving, ducking or turning when he hit it? What did it actually hit? I hope you understand that just because a shot is 20 yards or less doesn't mean you are always going to get a passthrough, no matter what BH you use.
You know none of these answers but come on here and say nothing but negative things. Why don't you worry about what you shoot at let him worry about what he's going to shoot.
By the way, I've shot three deer, 280lbs-330lbs live weight with the Rage, all passthroughs and I'm shooting around 260fps.
