I work as an archery tech in florida and the rage is the ultimate blade here. one of my customers is shooting the new pse x force at 70lbs and a 30 in draw and blew through the left rear leg with the rage. even with this poor quality shot he still retrieved his kill. also later on the next weekend he killed a 4 point with the same broadhead as the doe at 40yds with a clean pass through with a hole the size of a beer can.

The Drurys actually do get passthroughs on their vids with the Rages, but not always. I'd have to agree that they're probably using lower poundage with heavier shafts, and with their success...its hard to argue that those heads aren't extremely lethal and effective.

I shot a couple does this weekend with 2 blade rages. 1 pass through, 2 no. On the 2 no pass, shot placement was poor. On the pass through, shot placement wasn't great either.
On the pass through, I was a little high and a little far back, got the top of the lungs I think and the liver? Big hole on entrance and exit smashing through the rib cage. Deer went 30 yards.
This next pic is of the entrance wound. Hit this deer WAY too far forward. Rage shattered the front leg and cut the windpipe. Deer went 30 yards.

Sweet pics.
FWIW- I have a buddy and a brother both using Rage's this year. They have both shot bucks- both pass thrus. One is using a Mathews and the other a Browning. Neither guy is pulling a ton of weight- mid 60's or so for poundage. Left a helluva hole and lots of blood. one buck went 80 yards and the other went 40 yards. I've noticed that the Drury's like shoulder shots. Getting a pass through on a couple shoulder blades might be asking a little much of a mechanical?

Mechanical?...I'd go the next step and say any standard archery equipment.
Shooting shoulder blades might put you closer to the heart, but in general without a pass-thru tracking is more tough.

Yeah I did notice that Mark and Terry both shoot the shoulder blades, that is probably the key issue. On Dream Season 10 the other guys on it have several bow kills with the Rage and most are pass throughs.
