I see a lot of people aim at the middle of the deer, drop their arm and hit high, than complain about no blood. "It's not the arrow it's the Indian".
Well, DING, DING, DING, he's said he's not getting pass-throughs, maybe a RAGE isn't the BH for him......

If you guys got and tips to help me start passing threw I would really appreciate it. Thanks
You really have no business shooting a mechanical/expandable BH. You have a multitude of issues, first and foremost, you're arrows are very weak spined for the DL and bow. Even down to 24.5", the spine of those arrows is TOO WEAK. You're arrow weight is only about 365gr, but you're speed is more likely sub-250fps, giving you about 50ft/#'s of Kinetic energy which obviously sounds like it's not enough if you're not getting pass-throughs. Get a FIXED blade BH, and tune your bow, you may have to drop the weight down to around 55# to get the right spining, or you need to go get new arrows that are in the .400 series spine. You're hear to learn and develop as a bowhunter/archer, thats the best advice I can offer up for you. Don't be fooled by the RAGE "
Rage," it's not that great if you don't have enough bow to make that BH do it's job.
