So, now you have 2 rubber bands on each rage broadhead to feel better about their reliability. Umm No thanks, I don't have to fiddle with the strikers in order to gain more confidence in them to do what they are supposed to out of the package.
How does having an extra band on your rage affect it's ability to cut on contact and how is it's penetration?
Just for arguments sake i tried what you suggested while I was typing this. The blades will still pop out of the stock O-ring with ease even with a band in the middle the only difference is now the open blade is less obvious because it is kept close rather than flipping the whole way open which will still result in a poor shot if released from a bow in this position. The theory was good, but the result would still be the same.
