Has anyone ever seen or had a pass through from a Rage? I've yet to hear of one. They definitely will take them down but just haven"t yet seen or heard of a pass through. I'm still using 10 year old spitfires.
 
I have used them twice and did not get a pass thru either time and one of them was admittedly a gut shot. I also have two friends that have used them and neither of them have gotten a pass thru. Heck, even the Drury brothers don't get pass-thru all of them run off with the arrow sticking out the side.
 
i have had pass thrus on every deer i've shot with the rage except one. it was a high shoulder shot. i've been using them since 2007. countless pass thrus on does. i've had pass thrus at 42 and 39 yds. both of these were bucks, one which dressed 215 lbs.

shot placement is the key!

Tons of people have had pass throughs with Rage broadheads. The two deer I killed with Rage were complete pass throughs.

Yeah, well..............when you shoot 'em in the gut, they are gonna pass thru! LOL
 
2 blade rage, 62 pound pull, through shoulder out the gut perfect quartering to pass thru. have had three boiler room pass thrus all sticking in the groud on opposite side all with 62lb pull.

the drury brothers are only shooting like 52lbs with 26 or 27in draw and pushing a 2in cut broadhead their not gonna get pass thru, that being said they still find their deer

Are you serious? SEVERAL people have posted pics from pass thru's.

That's what I was thinking. I am NOT a Rage (or any mechanical head) fan at all, but I've read and seen pics of many Rage pass-throughs.
 
Just killed my first deer with a bow today at 9 using a rage 2 blade. 45 yds complete pass thru. Found the arrow 10ft past where she was standing.
 
I had to do some digging but this was my first deer I killed with a bow...it was about this time in 2009 and it was with a Rage broadhead. It was a 25 yard shot and a complete passthrough.

This was a 2009 Parker Blackhawk 29" draw and 67 lbs with a 380 grain arrow about 70 lbs KE

I have shot 12 deer with them in the last two years. I have had 6 pass throughs and the ones that didnt I had holes on the exit side but the arrow didnt have the a$$ behind it to push the blades through. Im shooting 64 pounds at 28.5 with a 357-360 grain arrow. I shot a fairly good sized buck last week with an entrance just foward of the back shoulder and the tip poked out just behind the front shoulder. Less than stellar angle and the arrow still almost passed through, LENTGH WISE.

If you arent gtting pass throughs, its all mainly shot placement. But you can buy the crossbow blades at 1.75" or the 40KE blads at 1.5". But IMO with a 2 blade head 1.5" will do th job but thats cutting a little on th small side.
 
So after reading some good post. I'm convinced, went out and bought a pack of Rage today. Always good advice from everyone on this site. Thanks.

I shoot the same specs (or close I'm 28')all but one of my bow kills have passed through. shot one in the spine that's the only one that didn't go through. That's with different heads through the years, but I've always had pass throughs. and yes I have shot the rage and had all pass through.
