you see that is my thoughts exactly, i figure the 3 blade would use more energy to open the extra blade and you still have a little more surface area with the 3 blade, so why do they penetrate better? i couldn't tell you, I could honestly care less about a pass through, I have shot 3 deer in Arkansas with the rage 2 blade granted these deer are smaller than those of Kansas and Illinois. anyhow My arrow went completely through all 3 deer, it wasn't sticking in the ground and they carried it a few yards but they were pass throughs. Ridiculous blood trails and short tracking distance. It gets the job done so why worry about a pass through? Plus with the larger cutting diameter it leaves more room for error. Back off the front shoulder and let em have it. in my opinion if you hit the shoulder you can't expect any head to blow through it, although some do but you couldn't tell me that same head would every time you shot the shoulder. It just won't happen. I love the rage and will continue shooting them until I find something better. Although I wish they were a bit more durable. just my 2 cents tho!
