Yep I have been shooting Rages for 3-4 years with 7 deer harvested with a Rage 3 Blade and 6 complete arrow pass throughs @ 62 lbs. I have yet seen a deer go past 60 yards and leaving a blood trail Ray Charles can follow.
My wife just shot her first doe with a 40KE Rage 2 blade with 1.5″ cutting diameter and had copmplete broad head pass through at only 48 lbs.
That doe only made it about 75 yards and we had blood at the site of the shot with again impressive blood trail. 
Justin, it sounds like perhaps the O-Ring needed to be replaced on your Rage 3 Blade, but I’m glad you found something that you are comfortable with.
As you said Confidence is key and I have never had more confidence, since I switched to the Rage.
