Awesome Mike............congrat's !! :D

Are the Raptor's the ones that are a cut on contact fixed blade but have two expandable blades also ? If so I have been really curious about the type of hole they would punch !! :eek:

Yep, that's the ones. They punch a massive hole, both in and out. The main blade seems to be pretty tough but the mechanical blades took some pretty serious damage when they went through the ribs. The mechanical blades were fully open by the time they hit the entrance because there was at least a 2" hole going in & out. They did cut completely through through 2 ribs but they were bent and dinged up pretty bad. They obviously did the job though. I'm pretty pleased with them and will continue to shoot them. If they would make the mechanical blades a little tougher, they would definitely be awesome.
