I just killed my 5th deer on Fri afternoon, a huge doe about 120 lbs, again I shot this deer in the spine....this is the 3 rd time I have made this shot this year...Im shooting a rage 2 blade and i can't understand what is going on...Im not doing it on purpose....I did not get a pass thru obviously on those 3 deer, I did get a pass thru on 2 of the 5 deer with the rage 2 blade....Yes, they leave a huge hole, and if I hd been shooting a fixed blade on those three spine shots, I wouldn't have killed them I don't think...I think the wide cutting dia clipped the nerves in the spine....still, not what I want...I can't say that the Rages have been out of this world,but they have done the job....however, I like pass thrus, and when and if i can get a shot at deer that is perfectly broadside at 20-25 yds and shoot it with the rage I will let you know about pass thrus for them...I never had the issue with Muzzy..I may go back to the Muzzy next yr or i may stick with the Rage....but I do want pass thrus, it's better, why would anyone not want them??
