    I was going to post some pics but really theres not much to see. I made sure mine were dead on at 20 with blades closed and they were. I then shot a couple times with 1 blade open and then twice with both blades open. My bow is in very good tune and the worst I got was 3" off my mark, and that may have been some human error. buckeye and others wanted to know if there was a notacable noise when fired open, well my hearing sucks but I could not notice any difference myself. Personally Id rather not shoot at game with them open, and I know they are a hassle checking them all the time, but the orthadontist rubber bands added around the blades keeps mine in check and still perform Great. I love the blood trails with these things and there effectiveness on Turkeys, so as of now im still using them. IMO the key things here are make sure your Bow is tuned correctly and It should be any way no matter what and by all means Dont take low percentage shots. I think human error is still a big factor when I here all the bad things that people claim happen with the Rages. But what ever you use, go out and have your self the very best funnest upcomming season. OK im sweaty from the test session, so im going out and jump in the pool :rock: peace out,,,,,blood
