I found a pic of a guy holding up a rage the other day with bent blades from who knows what claiming that it had not opened and you could clearly see that the thing was not in the original position so moved somewhere to look like it did. It looked just like the rage my brother had sent through a doe last year and had opened flawlessly. I guess if it does not look like the picture on the box when they find the arrow they assume that it did not work which is not the case. We to have had zero troubles and have shot 5 animals with them with all of the animals traveling less than 50 yards. But everybody has issues with some products kinda like barnett crossbows and the remington 770. Why do people beat this dead horse so much? They should really add that emoticon.
