Regardless of how it flys, I bet it cuts a giant hole - as long as you can put enough energy behind it. I bash on rage a lot (mostly for fun), but the biggest problems I have observed with mechanical broadheads, over the years, is not reliability. It's shot placement and energy. It seems to me that there are a lot of guys who use mechanicals to compensate for a poorly tuned bow, which causes a loss of accuracy AND energy. They wind up hitting the deer too high, too far back, or right in the shoulder - then they come here and start threads about how their Rage or Grim Reaper must not have opened. Same goes for guys who shoot short draw lengths and light poundage. Poor penetration? Must have been the broadhead's fault! Never mind the fact that they put a 2" + cut blade on a 350 grain arrow that's lucky to make 50# KE. End rant!

Whew....I feel better now that I got that out of my system.
