I shot rage two blade chisel tip last year. After loosing a monster 8pt in Illinois and several other deer in Ga and Fl, I decided to go back to the trusty thunderhead. I have more than 20 rages that are bent in the ferrel area. When this happens the insert is also bent and the arrow shaft splits. First 8pt this year I lost due to not getting a pass thru. NO BLOOD anywhere and I shot the deer about 6 ft from my tree. Came home and purchased a 6pk of TH. This past weekend I shot another 8pt thru both shoulders with complete pass thru and into the dirt. He went 30 yards. I shoot and believe different than most hunters with arrow weight and speed. I want Lite and fast arrows for flatter trajectory. With the rages the arrow only goes in about a third to half of its length. Please don't say my arrows are too lite as I regularly get pass thru on 200# large boar hogs shooting both shoulders with the thunderheads. Oh fwiw, my bow shoots field pts, rages and thunderheads the same(poi).
