Just my observation. I have no experience with COC.

So is a rage a COC or an expandable, LT? Just for clarification.

It is both Jeff.

This has been my eperience as well (on a Morrell block target). I have shot one other broadhead that out-penetrated the ST. It was a G5 Striker. I could never get it to fly as well as the ST though.

Here is my feeling on that point. Many heads, especially some of the chisel tip heads seem to leave very large entrance wounds, larger than there actual diameter. This tells me that before going into the hide it is pushing it in and then cutting, then passing through the vitals (hopefully) and then out the other side. If this is the case, that is the head I want to shoot. You are passing completely through the animal, but getting increased tissue damage at the point of impact, maximum tissue damage to the major organs, and a liberal exit wound. This means, a lot of damage, a quick kill, and an easy to follow blood trail. As long as you are passing through, I'll take the big nasty entrance over the smaller cleanly cut entrance.

I can see this clearly Huntingbry. Thanks for the input.

Jeff, I would like to see some pics ofexit wounds if you have them...

I have shot rocket sidewinders, Magnus stingers, g-5 strikers, rage, TH, muzzy, and rky mtn gators in the last 6 years- Killed deer with all of them

One of things everyone forgets to mention is targets - the strikers, and magnus will flat out eat up a target

I shoot expandables now the gator which is simliar to the rage - I loved the buzzcut stinger broaheads - as well -

No problem. This is why you are able to see such devastating entrance wounds from Rages, and the old Punchcutters I used to use.

It surprizes me that you couldnt get the Striker to fly well.They flew like field points for me. Im going to use them on deer next season for sure.
