Sucks to have a bad experience with a broadhead. I have been shooting the rage 2 blades for 2 years now. Harvested 4 deer none ran over 40 yards. All pass throughs except the 6 pt I spined. Shot distances were from 15 yards to 32 yards. The 6 pt I shot in the spine the rage went through the thickest part of the spine and I was able to pull it out the other side with just my hands. My experience has been nothing but outstanding with them. Better blood trails then any of the fixed blade heads I have used.
