[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 809285, member: 68542"] We can't hunt big game with mechanicals here in Oregon, but I do use Rage for turkeys. That said, I will not trust Muzzy anymore. I shot my buck this year with them (first bow kill ever actually). 23 yards, quartering away, I misjudged where his shoulder was. Tried to slide the arrow inside of the shoulder blade and instead center punched the back edge of his shoulder blade. He spasmed and fell over, back towards me, and I sent another through his backstrap and down through his lung. I sat there and watched him bleed out, quit breathing, and gave him a few more minutes besides. Went up to him, flipped him over, and checked out my first arrow. I grabbed it, and the **** thing fell out of his body. It penetrated all of 2 inches, and just had enough energy transfer that it shocked his spine or something to make him fall. But there was no penetration into the shoulder bone, and the broadhead bent over sideways.

I wasn't impressed. Now, I will say that the second arrow did well, as I hit nothing but meat, and it got the job done. But I was expecting the "bone crushing trocar tip" to crush bone, not be crushed by it. That said, I'm happy as hell with the deer :D [URL=http://s556.photobucket.com/user/marksman1941/media/1125121027.jpg.html][IMG]http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss7/marksman1941/1125121027.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s556.photobucket.com/user/marksman1941/media/1125121029.jpg.html][IMG]http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss7/marksman1941/1125121029.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
