Your continous defense of a certain Broadhead is pretty funny (Anybody notice that) LOL!! I still think Rage is in the top 4 or 5 in expandable broadheads but I do think there are much more solid choices.
I am a fixed blade guy personally but I do like trying different things. That way I do have a little first hand knowledge to pass on.
If the Rage is supposedly superior with rear deploying blades (according to you) then
why do so many have trouble with penetration when they blow a Spitfire Maxx all the way through everything they've shot with them.
Most complaints I've had are the rubber o-rings and lack of penetration.
What do you think does more cutting? A 2" 2 blade? a 1 3/4" 3 blade? a 2" 3 blade? or a 1 1/4" 4 blade?

First you say you sold quite a few and then you say it was your worst year for sales??? Kind of confusing. Why didn't you just say from the beginning that last year was your worst year??
Who are these "people" that are having penetration problems with Rage but blowing through with Spitfires? Just some people that you conveniently know??
Why is it that NAP, who makes the Spitfire, come out with the Bloodrunner? And which BH does NAP market and advertise? The REAR OPENING Bloodrunner! Why? Because it's rear opening and over the top mechanicals are old style and not as effecient as rear opening.
I hear all this penetration problems and I am 5 for 5 on passthroughs with mature bucks along with many does. I'm only shooting around 265fps. Why do I get passthroughs if there is a penetration problem??
I don't want to continue this back and forth with some of you but just give Rage a rest. It's a good solid head and if you don't like it, don't shoot it. And if you don't shoot it don't try to tell everybody that does that their stupid, non-tuning idiots that are fooled my advertising.
