I think marketing may very well have something to do with it.

Yep.
Its the same reason so many people come into the gun shop looking for TC Encores... marketing, advertising, putting it in celebrities hands.... getting people to talk about it. How many threads you suppose were posted up here, in the gear review forum and in the technical forum last fall about Rage heads? I got sick of seeing them. It seems like a full 25% of the membership here was planning on trying them. They go so much "talk advertisement" that everyone knows what they are and what they are about.

As with any new product marketing and word of mouth are good bet.
If they didn't get the exposure their sales wouldn't be as good.

that same word of mouth can hurt you as well.
If they weren't as bad arse as they are, they wouldn't be as popular.
I haven't used the head so, I can't say if they are bad arse or not. I do know they haven't been out that long so time will determine how good they are. You know what I mean?

Obviously.
Well you can make anything popular for a short time, that's when the word of mouth becomes more important then the huge advertising dollar.

The only complaints I have heard from anyone on the big mechanicals is lack of a pass thru. If you have enough KE, that shouldn't be an issue on an average deer IMO. Is anyone using Hypershocks or have in the past? I'm interested to see what they can do and would like to know your experiences.

Of the three deer shot, one large mulie was shot at 40 yards - hard quartering away angle - entered last rib and exited out the top of the shoulder. 2nd one was another large mule deer buck. Hit muscle tissue of shoulder broadside at 30 yards - went through both lungs - stopped in bone of opposite shoulder. Third one was a whitetail buck at 20 yards. Pass through on a broadside gut shot. All bows were 60 lbs. of KE. All three deer were only able to make it about 50 yards after being shot. Massive blood loss.

Why is Rage top dog? That's easy; they've spent more money advertising and promoting they're heads than anyone else! I won't be shooting them anytime soon, cause I don't care who uses them, I only use what tests have proven to be better performing heads....

I'm not making fun of you or your post. I'm just wondering which head inflicts more dmage than the rage.....and if someone would be kind enough to post up some photos of said damage.
We can compare our results.
