RE: (NON) pass-thru issues....
I hunt at about 18' everytime, and pretty much only take broadside shots. This cost me# of shots takenbut I have yet to have anything other than pass throughs with a rage. I have not shot one with my new set up but all the kills came from a 60 lb, switchback XT. It was mentioned that you hold off for a better broadside shot...this will definatly help on the pass throughs IMO. Do not take that statement as a knock on your shot placement, all those deer are dead with good shots, but if it is pass throughs that you desire, and you want to keep the 2" head I would have to agree.
