LOL it looks like the older Bear 2 Blade that made the hole..LOL I shot one that looked quite close to that. The inserts in the blade made the other cuts in it. What ever it is, it is surely made by a 2 blade and I am sticking to my guess because the other cuts are made by inserts..

OK, thanks to all that replied. It was a Rage 2 Blade. For those that asked, the shot was at 10 yards at a fairly steep angle downward quartering away. It was a passthru and left a very good blood trail as usual. Entrance and exit wounds were huge. To the guy that said I better not hit a bone, I have blown through several ribs for a passthru with this head on big deer before. If you are hitting big bones like shoulder bones you are aiming in the wrong place. If your setup produces enough energy and momentum, it is hard to beat these heads for leaving a good blood trail and getting a passthru.

its actually EASY to beat these heads, just (A) use a broadhead that cannot fail to open and (B) has much better penetration qualities
I submit any broadhead you would have shot with that hit you made would have resulted in very similar results.
I also submit you could have used a dull and rusty bladed Puckett's Bloodtrailer and killed the deer just as dead too ... I don't reccommend that, but it would have gotten the job done.

I will say that I was leary of the Rage but I bought a pack last week and killed my first deer with it Saturday at 20 yards. I am sold I dropped the deer in its tracks and I would have gotten a pass through if it had not been for the tree behind the deer.
