Maybe if u wouldv payed attention, u wouldve read where I said I've never had a rage failure, nor am I a fixed blade shooter.
I am simply arguing the fact that all things mechanical can and will fail. I would bet you a grand right now that there were more mehanical bh failures last season than fixed... Wanna take that bet?
Since I do extensive bh testing year round, I have had the mehanical issues pop up during testing. I've had blades come open, and had them not come open upon impact(one did and the other didn't). I have also tested them with frontal rubber bands with and without the o ring.
I NEVER said I didn't like rages, I love them. They have brought me the 5 fastest bow kills ever in the past 2 years...
But u saying that it's just as likely for both to fail is ridiculous, and anyone who has any mechanical background would agree 100%.
You say"so long as the hunter does his part" I say so what if he doesn't? What if the hunter doesn't notice the small crack in the o ring and it opens in flight. Would that have had happened to cause a miss??? Maybe. But with a fixed head there isn't even the opportunity.
You even mentioning hunters shooting capability is completely irrelevant to this argument, and it's just your way of making you and rage feel better
have fun believing that the failure opportunity is even...
