I’ve never had a problem with Rages.
I use the hypodermic 100 grain.
I’ve shot about 20 deer with it and blew through all except for 2 and those 2 were big bodied bucks.
Even at that I’ve never lost a deer to a rage.
All have been recovered within 60 yds with the preverbial red carpet trail to them.
I’ve tried slick tricks but the blood trails were miserable about 70% of the time.
Have you hit a big buck or bull in the shoulder with them? A slick trick or muzzy or Rocky M R will penetrate through and through.
I admit to watching hunting shows on TV at times and on several occasions have seen expendables fail to give good penetration and a few animals lost or not found in time to eat. I expect they would be fine on broadside rib shots.
I have seen 2 cases where the arrow was on perfect course toward a deer when the expandable caught a stem of high grass or such and did a sudden nose dive.
