Why are we not discussing the failure of the blade to deploy?
Clearly in the pictures you can see that the o-ring never rolled out to release the blades.
And on the deployed blade you can see where the o-ring broke allowing the blade to deploy.
The whole point of this thread is to show that the blades can sometimes fail to deploy(rarely) but it can happen.
Sorry you are incorrect. The Blades deploy on contact at the front of the head. The blades slip back, pop out and over the oring. The oring does not have to slide back for the head to deploy properly.
Those pictures mean nothing, the blades lay loose after they come out of the animal with a passthru or not. The only way to judge if the head did not open all the way would be to measure the wound channel on the animal. There is no real proof here of anything.
I doubt you got a double lung shot either. Without recovering the deer you can not be sure.
With the Rage 2 Blade I get awesome blood trails with well placed shots.
More deer are lost with high poorly placed shots than broadhead failures. Punch through the bottom 1/3 of the deer for better blood trails.
RAGE ON!!!
