First day, 20 yard broadside shot at a buck with the rage, almost a complete pass through. He went about 80 yards and dropped. Next day, antelope doe 57 yard shot with the snypers, complete pass through, 40 yard retrieval. Next month deer season, 14 yard shot at doe with rage, broadside, arrow struck her about 3" behind the shoulder, lower 1/3 of the body, perfect right. she ran a circle around my tree. Arrow was only in her about 3", no blood, no deer. Rages went in the garbage. About a month later i was walking to my stand and ran into a nice buck on the way chasing a doe. Snypers were up to bat again. 50 yard shot, broadside, complete passthrough, 60 yard retrieval.

Although the snypers and the rage are the same design take a little closer look. the snyper is a smaller cut with a much better blade angle which is why i believe they penetrated much better. I WILL NOT TRY THE RAGE AGAIN after losing that doe. She ran by me twice and i seen the arrow twice, it was perfectly placed and the arrow did not touch anything on the way to her. Thinking about that hunt still torks me off.
