I tried Rage mechanicals for a season. I switched back to fixed blades when I had an arrow glance off a buck's rib on a steep angle shot and stick in the ground. Never had that happen with a fixed blade and I'm not a fan of mechanicals for that reason. A corollary to Murphy's law goes: "Anything that can go wrong, will." In my opinion, introducing a broadhead with moving parts, adds another factor into the equation. Others swear by them. Not me. There are a lot of fixed blade designs which are as accurate as field points, so that's not an issue any more.
