I think you mean "Physicists".....and I'm pretty sure the issues with the rage BH can be narrowed down to 2 things:
1. User error/ignorance
or
2. Improper setup/setup incapable of producing enough energy (see, also, no. 1)

I've use the rage 2 blade, for 2 years now. I have to agree that shot placement is always the key for a pass through, but even if you don't get a pass through the large cutting area they provide allows plenty of blood to track with. My 8 year old nephew shot a doe last year ( lung shot ) with a 40lbs Starter bow. Still was a super easy track, so I'll still use them, did hear of a new BH with a 2 1/2" cut? hmmm

You get much more blood with an exit wound, and if you get a complete passthrough the arrow can tell you where the animal was shot (stomach/lungs). I would much rather know that i hit the animal too far back before tracking and possibly pushing a gut shot deer. I'm not saying that i have ever gut shot a deer but ____ happens and i would like to know that i am prepared for when it does.
I kinda like a pass through so I can retrieve my arrow and be able to reuse it.They are too expensive to break on each deer.

Well I bought some today not because I'm a fan but because the guy who ran the shop I was in did me a favor and I wanted to help him out. Bought one of my boys a recurve too. I'll giv'm a shot and see.
Believe it or not (the shop owner didn't either even after he spun it on the axle) the top cam bearing in my Hoyt pro tec went bad and started chewing up inside. You had to squeez the bearing between your fingers and turn the cam to feel it but once you did there was no mistake about it.
I dislike poor customer service myself. Ya can't really go by an email though, but companies that do a good job with their emails get bonus points.
