wow
That is an amazing wound, am I correct in believing it is an exit?
Is that the throat patch on the neck, just above? At risk of taking thread in wrong direction, can you describe the shot, angles, distance, etc.

No, that's what's amazing about the Rage. That's the ENTRANCE. In fact, there was no exit. We haven't cut him up yet, but I believe I hit the shoulder on the other side. I actually hit a little lower than would be ideal, though it's hard to argue with the results. I was about 20 feet up a tree, he was about 18 yards slightly quartering away. Thats the wonder of the Rage. More than any other broadhead I've seen it makes bad shots "mediocre", mediocre shots "good" and good shots "unbelievable". My only gripe is that the blades are sensitive to be dislodged while walking with a nocked arrow, but as a tree stand blade, they're unbeatable.

WOW
I have seen a lot of broadhead wounds, all from fixed blades, mine or others.
I have never seen anything like that, on an ENTRANCE wound!!!!!! Its hard to argue against those kind of results.
My old Razorheads don't have to "open", but.....still, ......if I believed mechanicals would do that every time, I'd reconsider the issue.
BTW
Used to hunt w/ a group of fellows/club that used the Simmons Interceptor, which is a BIG fixed blade, 175 gr, can't remember the cut diameter, it was at least 1.5-1.75" It was killer, but needed heavy draw weight and large arrows/fletch to stabilize and not drop like a rock. All of them have switched to something more conventional as they aged and have reduced draw/holding weight.

Sorry, I forgot to tell you exactly where that hole is.... that "patch" of white is just ruffled hair on the shoulder. The right leg is the portion extending off the right center of the picture. The impact was roughly 1/3 of the way up the side, just behind the shoulder. Obviously effective, but lower than would be ideal for the distance and height off the ground.
I have stayed with cut on contact broad heads for years . Some time harder to tune a bow with them but they always work . Also a friend has used the g5 montec from there begining and it is the same basic type of blade. They always tend to open a gapping wound even if there is know pass thru. And hay Nuggent has use cut on contact for years with lower poundage than most of use shoot. Can't be all bad.
