seriosuly though - you realize you're shooting a head that has horrible penetration qualities, so its a little like Russian Roulette ... eventually a not so perfect hit and a poor broadhead will result in a lost deer. Your choice ...
Rage will work fine (it it deploys) on perfect shots
on less than perfect shots, it will have troubles because of the design
Are you 5 years old? You sound like it sometimes
You have NEVER SHOT THE HEAD but you're trying to tell people who have shot them and have had great success with them that they are wrong for shooting them.
I'm 5 for 5 with complete passthroughs using the Rage 2 blade on mature Kansas and Iowa bucks. These deer ranged from 260-330lbs. This does not count the does that I have shot with passthroughs. I'm only a 28" draw shooting around 260fps.
Is it because I'm just lucky because I'm certainly not shooting a fast bow?
Get over yourself. Shoot what you like and tell everybody how great they are and leave things alone you have NO PRACTICAL USE on. The only people that are listening to you are the same couple guys that are just like you: Guys that have NEVER SHOT THE HEAD but act like they know what they are talking about.
Maybe you guys can have a therapy group and meet and complain about Rage heads to each other.
