Regardless of broadheads you make a Bad shot it is still a bad shot. Does anyone really think a 3/4" bigger cut from a 2 blade makes that big a difference?
As far as cutting how much cutting does a 1 1/4" 4 blade do compared to a 2" cut 2 blade head? Marketing really works, if you spend enough money. Says something about our intelligence. I do sell both heads and I can tell you where the most sob stories come from. If a person prefers a mechanical head for whatever reason I think the Rage is one of the better choices.
Again IMHO a good shot is a Good Shot and a Bad Shot? Well.......................... I think it's obvious.

Well those are some impressive numbers but I am no fledgling either. I have used 8 or 9 different broadheads over the past 31 years of bowhunting for deer. I was anti-expandable since they came out in the 80s. I have used Slick Tricks for three years prior to trying the Rage. I have seen first hand the good and the bad with Slick Tricks. I have made some excellent shots and some marginal shots. The wound channel and blood trails on just about every deer I have killed in the past three years has been just OK in my opinion using Slick Tricks. This forum touts Bowtech and Slick Tricks, so going against the grain is going to ruffle some feathers.
As far as marketing goes I really don't pay it much attention, otherwise I would be shooting those Rage heads off of a Mathews bow. I really never thought I would shoot a mechanical or a Rage. Two deer is not enough to really make a definitive conclusion. I am stating my results and so far for me they have been superior with the Rage over other fixed blade broadheads I have used including the Slick Trick 100 Magnum.
