I hate to do this....but when someone tries to ridicule me with kindergarten references and uses "bare" in lieu of "bear".....I have to consider the source.

trying to keep a wandering mind focused. im not ridiculing you, just pointing out i learned how to count in kindergarten, is it different in NC?Pointing out spelling errors in lieu of answering a question is basically admitting you either
a. are wrong and can't admit it
b. honestly don't know the answer

So is a bare two and a half inches, more or less than a two inch bear.

Then again if the Rage has a "too" inch blade we may have to look at this whole thing differently

OK SO ARE THE G5's THE WIDEST THEN???
dang, talking about rage and bowtecs are like talking about somebody's dead grandmother then spitting on her grave after you rob it.
The point to the arguement earlier was 2 1.125" blades equal 2.5" of cutting where as Rage is 2"....period...one cuts more than the other...it's not a question of which direction or something like that or how much you miss an arterty.
Dang. Like asking a beauty shop full of women which roid cream is the best.

You can't argue that a 3 blade with a smaller cutting diameter has more cutting surface because it's punching a hole in a more concentrated area.........a 2" cut single slice wound channel doesn't benefit from this.
I shoot mechanical heads personally for one reason..........OVERKILL. I can get wider lateral wound channels than I can get with fixed heads. I want to damage as much stuff as I can over as wide of an area. Penertation means very little to me because there really isn't a head made that I am going to have a problem with driving through deer sized game consistently and reliably.
Conversely I cringe when I hear guys shooting a head of a similar small cutting diameter but possess a bow set up that is providing them with ample energy to consistently use larger cutting diameter fixed or mechanical heads.
Use excess energy to your advantage.........the energy expended jamming a small fixed head through and into the dirt 10" can be better used by shooting something larger and more lethal through and only 6" into the dirt.
Understand your bow and what it can do to it's fullest, think about why things should or shouldn't work and make smart choices.
You can argue his points.....as I share his views. THIS....form womeone who IS going to be trying a different head very shortly.
