Well u are indeed at that magic 65#'s of ke number

I, although a rage user, am still a skeptic concerning the 2 blades penetration. I'd go fixed without a doubt on a hog with that setup. If u were up in the 70-75 range maybe, but I'd say stick to what's known, keep the 413gr arrow and replace the rage with a fixed head.


I'm sure the rage would probably kill it fine, but that's a critter u don't wanna sacrifice penetration on in case of poor shot placement as mentioned previously...
