Default My Rage BH opinion

This year was my first year using the Rage 2 blade BH. I took a nice mature doe last nite with one and the jury is still out on these heads. I was satisfied with the size of the entry and exit wounds and the blood trail (sliced through the top of the heart).
The shot was a quartering away shot entering about 3" behind the right front leg and coming out the front of the shoulder. The shaft did not pass completely through but came out within a few yards after impact which confused me because my PSE DNA @ 63# shoot this 405 gr arrow at 307 fps.
I shot several deer with Magnus Stingers and Slick Tricks and had complete pass throughs with enough force remaining to stick into the ground. Granted these heads do not have the cutting surface of the Rage but the animals still expired in the same amount of time.
I will probably still use the Rages on whitetail simply because I have them. But for bear and elk (when I get a tag), I will switch to the Slick Trick Viper Trick heads.
