    I am a newbie to this site (been reading posts for a few months) and to bowhunting. I am on no team, but thought I’d share the picture of a doe I shot last Friday night. It was the first arrow I’ve ever shot at a deer. It was walking broadside at 33-35 yds and I made a great hit with my Rage-2 broadhead. It ran almost straight uphill for about 50 yards then fell right back down. Notice the entrance hole. The blood trail was as easy to follow as the yellow brick road. I love the rage!
