Yeah, The original Rage was a problem for my hunters in Africa several times. Most of the time I think they failed for two main reasons.
1) not enough arrow mass to achieve complete deep penetration at quartering angles.
2) so much power that the blades bent and twisted around and just mechanically failed.
The Hypodermic design mostly eliminated the mechanical failure part of the problem. I have a client in Florida that shoots 84b draw at 30" with 550 grain arrows. He tells me that pigs and deer are no problem for the ferrule. Never break bend or twist. However the blades have bent and twisted at under 20-25 yards. This may be from the impact with the earth after the exit since no arrows ever remain in the animals.
Doubtful any mortal human being shooting at realistic draw weights will ever see a mechanical failure if this guy does not!
One bonus with them, Turkeys. There is nothing better made for turkeys!
