Well. There’s pros and cons to both. The larger cutting diameter slows the Rage but it does penetrate the scapula. In reality no broadhead is moving through 8 in of gel. I know it’s relative all the heads are shot in the gel. A field point, with no drag, would probably pass completely through. Not hunting with that. The scapula is on the surface. I’ve had one shoulder hit in many years of bow hunting. I hit behind the shoulder or center punch the deer. Give me a mech head that flies perfectly with a large cutting diameter any day.
