Finally got one of my hit target bucks down. Sat Saturday morning watched this guy breed a doe 4 times about 60 yards away in some thick stuff. Never gave me a shot. Saturday evening he came in at 30 yards and showed me hiss ass. Sunday evening at dusk following a doe in. 30 yards away. Took the shot slight quartering to me, the deer ran 40 Yards and piled up. I know there are alot of Rage haters on this sight, but every deer i've shot with a Rage does'nt make the 50 yard run before expiring. Great night in the woods.

 
Great buck! Congratulations. I used to feel same way about Rage as you. Thought they were worth the $$$ despite being one and done. Unfortunately - that particular design is playing Russian roulette with every deer you shoot. Mechanical failure is not a matter of "if"- but "when". Those shooting them can ignore the advice and real examples from guys with 20 25, and 30+ years experience or they can think about changing to something with a 0% failure rate. Didn't want to turn your great buck into yet another Rage debate but you did toss that out there and I don't ever recall seeing any other BH have any such controversy.
