[QUOTE="85grNBTat3500fps, post: 733842, member: 18677"] I have shot 3 deer so far with Rage 2 blade 100 grain heads. First deer got 3/4 penetration after tagging a small branch that I didnt see looking threw the peep and concentrating on my aiming spot. She was quartering away and the arrow after being slightly deflected hit her in the right rear hip area and penetrated threw to the other side. she went 40 yards and piled up. That kill was all luck because she was gut shot but that big 2 inch cut severed the femoral artery. distance was about 28 yards. Second doe was at 32 yards slightly quartering to hit the onside shoulder blade and blew right threw for a complete pass threw. she ran in almost a complete circle piling up 10 further from where I shot her. Third deer was my first buck. A nice 8 pointer that I whacked at 16 yards from a blind. He went about 40 yards doubled lunged again complete pass threw. I shoot a Bowtech Guardian set at 70 pounds 28 inch CE pile driver arrows with the 100 grain Rage 2 blade. I am sacrificing arrow speed for momentum as my arrows weigh close to 500 grains. That is the thing I see wrong with the mechanical heads. Hunters are using to light a draw weight and light arrows or maxed draw wright and light arrows for speed. These combos dont aid the mechanical heads in performing correctly in my opinion. I would rather get hit with a ball peen hammer than a 20 sledge hammer. I dont look at speed and KE numbers I focus on the momentum numbers as that is what will help pull the arrow threw the deer. Now yes I would only use the rages on deer I would never use them even if legal to do so on anything larger than deer( elk, Moose) but I would still use the heaviest arrow possible to gain the momentum advantage. just my 2 cents worth.
