I ordered a new pack this morning. Going to try them out. I'm a Swhacker & Muzzy guy....lol. I liked the looks of them. They cost more than the chisel tips. Gave $38 shipped for these.

Good luck with them. Let us know how they work. I just can't fork over close to $40.00 for 3 broadheads any more.

The msrp was like $45....that's crazy. I like my $26 swhackers...lol
I've seen some talk on the forums about them. Myself...I've learned to stay away from anything with Rage on the package. But that's just me.

I've had great luck with the Rage Chisel Tips. I only shoot Muzzy Mx3's and Swhackers most of the time. Gonna try this out...hopefully they will be as nasty as the Chisel tips were...lol.

Im sure they are going to be awesome! I shot chisel tips last year. I killed 4 deer with them last year. Over 20 in last 6 years with a rage broadhead and never had any go over 40 yards with massive blood trails. People will say this and that about penetration. Blah blah blah! Its all about shot placement! I have a 26" draw length and shoot 62#. I have shot thru shoulders too, although i dobt reccommend that with any broadhead! I live the new design bc of the stainless ferrul instead alunimum. Good luck!

I used to be (4yrs ago) die hard Rage until I started having little to no blood trails after good shot placement and later found out they replaced the blade pins with another to save money. I was done after that. Just me but I'd rather want a Rage than to buy one. I hope you have the best of luck with them
Put a rage in his cage and you will have venison on the table,i started shooting the 3 blade a few yrs back and if you want to watch your deer go down in your sight give them a try,Out of the last 9 deer 8 of them i seen fall from my stand.The proof is in my freezer and on my wall.

The Hypodermics don't have the O-ring...that is what I like about them. I shoot Swhackers most of the time..but have had great luck with Rage. Some nasty blood trails. Not sure how anyone don't get a good blood trail with them...lol.

No hating from me...lol. I've had great luck with them. I shoot Swhackers more and lots hate them...lol. All the new heads like Rage, Killzone and others seem to work great to me. I've never had an issue with a Mechanical head. I don't like the over the top heads though...but that is just me. I don't how anyone could shoot a Rage and not have a nasty blood trail. I think it's one of those things where someone hears something bad...then gets on the wagon...lol.

No hating from me either....try utter disgust and hellfire and brimstones for the darn things. Used them twice when they first came out, even though I knew better. First was admittedly a poor shot that was too far back,a liver shot that left virtually no blood trail and the doe ran off with the darn thing inside of her�it can't even penetrate a gut shot...LOL (hate on that). Second, was a good hit right in the crease�once again....virtually no blood and no exit and the doe exited stage left with my arrow and she ran 400 yards. It appeared only one blade opened from the size of the hole. Got home threw the other in trash and trash them every chance I get�the only thing they do good is marketing IMO.

All I can speak from is experience I have had...and mine was nasty holes,entry & exit on all of mine and bloodtrails. I have only shot the Chisel tips so far. I'm sure I'll have the same great luck with the Hypodermics. Not sure what kinda bow everyone is shooting...but I would not suggest a low poundage slow shooting bow.

Ive shot over 20 deer since 07 with them. Never had one problem. I shoot 62 pounds and mine pass thru almost all the time. Its all about shot placment and ke. Most shoot too light of an arrow. I shoot epics. 26" arrow. Most people that make bad shots blame the broadhead. There all made to kill if u hit the deer where ur suppose too! And i shapern my blades too! I get alot of use out of mine. Ive killed 4 yotes and 4 turkeys with them too. All died quick! SHOT PLACEMENT!

I have never and I mean ever shot a deer with a rage that didnt leave a a blood trail like it was hit with an axe. IMO the rage leaves a path of absolute destruction. If I ever have a bad experience with them I will change, but so far you couldnt pay me to shot anything else. The deer I have shot, look like they have had a chainsaw run into them.
Man oh man, there sure are some Rage fanboys on here ain't they lol. The TV "pro staff" shooters are reason enough for me not to shoot them.
Broadheads are suppose to kill via ultra sharp blades by hemorrhaging of arteries and blood vessels...not by tearing hide or ripping flesh. Every Rage I have ever felt of, wasn't really that sharp out of the package and required sharpening to suit me (as in cutting a taunt rubber band by just touching it).
So take the design of the Rage...which is actually an old design by Rocky Mtn Broadheads, called the Snyper...and put ultra sharp thicker blades on it...do away with the stupid o-rings...and you have something worth shooting. That would be the NAP Killzone.
I bought a pack of them last yr and they were perhaps the sharpest out of pack mechanical broadheads I've ever bought. Zero touch up from me...straight out of the pack and into the arrow.
