Man, I don't know that I agree with this portion. I reckon a lot of unnecessary suffering has been caused by poorly built sideways flying arrows just because Rage's marketing department gave the shooter false confidence in them.
I guess I was thinking about the guys that spend time shooting and learning to get everything in tune and are accurate with their shots. @QDB2 Is confident in his setup. I am not I wouldn't feel confident shooting a deer. So I shoot what I feel.confident with and then i blame myself if something doesn't work out instead of blaming the arrow and head

Its not Rage's fault the hunter was stupid and didn't do his ethical duties and know his and his equipment's limitations.

I mean it’s not like the outdoor channel isn’t full of big bucks running off with the back 20” of a 26” ‘Rage in the Cage baby!!’ arrow hanging out😂😂😂
I only shoot rages from my CROSSBOW. I figure even a flapper will get a pass thru if you throw it fast enough.... ;)

Can some one explain how a 450gn arrow out of a slow 60# bow can blow an over the top 2” 2 blade through two shoulders? I asked the fairy and he said it’s not possible. 😅

An inch or 2 forward and you might be singing a different tune. Looks like you cleanly missed the humerus.

Looks like plan A worked just fine. It usually does when you're a competent shot.
Was plan A to cheat it that close to humerus and shoulder blade? I mean I'm all for understanding anatomy and most people are afraid of that pocket for no reason, but I'd be highly surprised if he was aiming that far forward.

One thing the fairy-dust crowd talks about that I don't think gets enough attention is sharpness of the broadheads. I remember the guy that introduced me to bowhunting using sharpening stones then a strop on his broadheads. I see a lot of folks use new broadheads out-of-the-box, that never consider the sharpness. I helped a friend track a deer he lost. Back at his garage I took an arrow that he didn't shoot with the same broadhead (mechanical, fwiw) and I could pinch the blade edge and not cut myself. no wonder there was poor performance.

Hair popping sharp ftw!
