Funny story, not really funny, more ironic.

I switched to Rage 2b for a season, what the heck.

Opening day doe, broadside at 15 yards, let her rip, pass through, literally see blood exploding from both sides as she bolts.

Hot day, get down immediately to go fetch some ice, positive that doe is down within 50 yards.
Return 30 mins later and go to where I last saw the doe, no blood, back track to site of shot, disgusting amounts of blood.
After 30 yards or so the blood trail completely vanished, followed every trail into the crp and never found another drop of blood, never recovered that doe.

Fast forward 12 days, still using Rage, nice 8 point comes into horns, presents me with a 12 yard quartering on shot, let her rip, hit shoulder, see blood spewing like crazy, see buck go down at 80 yards.

Fast forward 13 months, back to my 3 blade Muzzy, tremendous buck comes in, but going to pass out of range, redirect him with a bleat, buck presents me with an 18 yard quartering on shot, let her rip, never recovered that buck.
All in all we tracked that buck aprox 2 miles.
These were slight quartering on shots, 8 point left quarter, big buck right quarter, same angle.

Friend looked at the doe Rage and said one side didn't open because only one side of the 0-ring was broken.
I said BS, I saw the blood spewing out, both blades had to of opened.
Now on the 8 point, the o-ring was gone, so IDK.

Oh the irony
