In all honesty, I have no idea how old the OP is, don't really care, but the truth of it is, he's got a euphoric idea that a BH is going to make amazing things happen, and that just ain't so. You seem to have a pretty vested interest here. And that was pretty obvious, even before you divulged this....

I helped design the head and that is why I am very passionate about the Rage. But with the way things went down for me at Field Logic I should be negative about the head but I can't because I know how well it works.
Now, with not being there for 2 1/2 years I am not sure what they have all done different or how their advertising all works. I am a true believer that a 2" rear opening head built correctly is one of the most devastating heads made.
What the Rage CAN do out of a high energy bow is impressive, no doubt about that, but I wouldn't recommend someone with lower energy (less than say 55ft/#) shoot a 2" 2-blade fixed BH, then why one earth would it be "more reasonable" to recommend they shoot a Mechanical 2" BH???
Do rages work??? Sure for the right people, but I've also heard a great many bad stories regarding them as well. Including in Vegas when one opened up mid flight and ate up some carpet.....I believe the renowned Randy Ulmer was shooting that arrow if I remember correctly.
The biggest ISSUE I see with Rage is that "Get Your Game" Guarantee because it basically soulds like it advocates sending prayers on the end of arrows.
Granted, archery has become a very technical sport, but at the same time, I'm sure the recovery rates now vs. 10-15yrs. ago are much higher, and it's in part to the sport becoming more technical. Have Rages helped some guys, certainly, have they created problems for some guys certainly, and the low-energy bows are one of the most heavily affected groups, because people get bad advice and choose to use them.
Sort of like recommending a guy try FOB's when he's shooting a Whisker Biscuit.....we all know that ain't gonna work, but it's happened!!!
