We shall see. I should get to practice up on a few hogs between now and next season with the Rages.



I have never herd of a deer shot in the boiler room go 500 yards. I have had subpar shots with slicks and the deer still die within 100 yds. A deer shot through both lungs aint going 500 yards. I don't care if you shot them with a field point.

Not to mention you are one of the few people I have ever heard saying anything negative about a slick. I have got friends that used to shoot big mechanicals to convert to tricks and they never looked back and never had any issue.

Shoot whatever is going to give you more confidence. I will tell you this though, if you are looking at the rages you will find a heck of a lot more bad things said about them than tricks or muzzy's.
