I've use the rage 2 blade, for 2 years now. I have to agree that shot placement is always the key for a pass through, but even if you don't get a pass through the large cutting area they provide allows plenty of blood to track with. My 8 year old nephew shot a doe last year ( lung shot ) with a 40lbs Starter bow. Still was a super easy track, so I'll still use them, did hear of a new BH with a 2 1/2" cut? hmmm
