By No Means am I trying to start a Pro-Con argument. Mechanical Broadheads are not for everyone. I am just sharing my experience about a product. What you personally prefer is what is perfect for you!
I recently purchased many of the Rage Hypodermic 100 gr. (Knock-offs) from China. I paid 1.08 each for them (13.00 a dozen). They seem to be a quality built broadhead. I have been told some do not spin as they should. So far, the ones I tested are spinning fine. Last night I had a good shot (Though a little rushed) on a descent buck. He was hard quarter away. Now grant it, I am shooting a Tenpoint Venom Crossbow which shoots 372 fps. And the deer was 21 yds away. But this Hypodermic broke 3 ribs going in and another rib on the exit. Deer only went 40 yds and crashed within sight.
Hole going in is over 3" long. Exit hole was over 2".
Blades are a little wavy and have some "serrated" wear on the blades. But over-all, is in great shape considering it destroyed 4 ribs on its journey. I wouldn't shoot a deer with it but maybe still OK for a groundhog or point-blank kill shot.
Fair warning: The shipping is extremely slow on these broadheads. Do not expect to get some and use them next week~~it ain't going to happen. 3-4 weeks is more like it. But if your looking for a cheaper alternative, you might want to try them. Hopefully Chad will chime in and let you know how to handle it if they run past their arrival date....rotflmao He's been getting them much cheaper than I have.
