If you got pass throughs with the Muzzy 100 grain...then you should get pass throughs with the Rage 100 grain; with everything else in the set up being the same. KE will be the same. Perhaps the extra width of the open blades on the Rage caught front shoulder on that quartering away shot? While surface area does create resistance, I would think the 3 blade muzzy would have the greater surface area and thus increased drag. Perhaps you had a malfunction on the blade deployment which is something I have always been concerned with about the Rage and I always double checked that o ring retainer after knocking the arrow. I also shoot an Axis, heavy, small diameter,arrow out of my switchback @ 68 lbs. Lots of KE. I'm 5 for 5 on Rage pass throughs. With one spine shot from top to bottom that was slightly delayed on the pass through as the ground impeded arrow travel and the doe fell on the arrow breaking it in two. twocents
