My buddy shoots the 3 blade rage. We went hunting and he shot a doe in the sholder. The hole in the deer was the size of a coke can and blood was everywhere. I just recently switched to rage after he gave me a 2 blade to try out. I killed a 8 pt and the blood trail was great. Im still skeptical of them because it seems like a lot can go wrong with them. Maybe yours are not opening all the way. I know the 3 blade rages were under a recall for blades not opening.

I've killed 4 deer with the 3 blade rage and they all bleed like a stuck hog.

They do bleed ... inside. That "Impressive Entry" ain't worth a donut hole without an "Impressive Exit". A funnel ain't nothing more than a cone shaped Jug if ain't open on both ends.

I am going to address a couple an issue with the rages. People have complained about the broadheads not opening. Here is the issue I would assume you have, if you are past the first year of use. I have used these for 3 years now, and this has been my observation.
The rage broadhead sits on a o-ring. It will start to harden after the 1st year. if these harden, it will not allow the blades to deploy, leaving a very small hole for entry and most times, no exit hole. Check them before every hunt. I replace my o-rings every year. It is like any other weapon, simple maintenence keeps them working well.
I am not saying this is the issue with the 3 blades you have, but might want to check them.
It is what it is.

Muzzy's don't have an O-ring, and they are always open. Problem solved.

Shot a doe last weekend with a rage 3 blade at 20 yards. I made a good shot maybe a little to much shoulder arrow only went in halfway, deer broke arrow while running off only found about 5 drops of blood. Still no deer.

LOL You must have missed the parts where he said he hit them 'right in the bread basket' and then recovered the bloodied arrows. But, maybe all 3 just stuck in the heart, then fell out on the ground????? :p Take internet postings for what they are worth.......NOTHING......is my honest opinion......LOL
