Rage experince.

[jeffpenland123]

I have a Centerpoint dagger 405 crossbow I love it I killed one deer sep 7th opening day with it 60 yards run 40 layer over dead I was using the rage hypodermic no collar crossbow head and I killed one Thursday night she was at 35 yards I was using my brother's ravin r 10 and she run 20 down hill 20 back up it fell over dead perfect shot I was using the rage crossbow x no collar. I was wondering ur experience with the rage or other brands.

Also will be taking a ravin r10x In the morning it's 20 fps faster than the r10 but it's shooting the rage hypodermic nc head.

I used to use them before swapping to a 4 blade fixed (tooth of an arrow). I have one fail to open on a shoulder shot, arrow still penetrated enough to get one lunch but didn’t open. Ended up recovering the deer, but gave up on expandable after that.

Nice good to know

I’ve used rage trypans and never had issues with them expanding or penetrating.

I used them once on whitetail in TX. Also had a failure to open. Back to slick tricks after that. I had better luck with grim reaper when I did choose to shoot a mechanical head.

I've shot a pile of deer with 2" Rage. I've never had a failure. Love them

Same experience as you, haven’t seen them go over 50 yds with a decent shot. Unfortunately I can’t find anymore deep six rage heads so had to switch away

 

[dtrkyman]

I shot a hand full of whitetail does with them, original 2 inch, worked well though all were shot in the 10 ring so anything works there!

I tried them 1 season about 10 years ago. Killed one doe and wasn't that impressed, not sure if the blades didn't open correctly or what. Shot another that i hit square in the shoulder, broadhead broke off at the threads upon impact so that was it for me. I went back to fixed for many years until I tried Sevr. I've been really happy with Sevr heads, durable and have worked everytime so far. Side note, my dad uses a rage knockoff he gets online from China I think. Pays less than $5 a head and he's Killed around 10 deer with them and they always work great.

I shoot them out of my ravin and they have done great so far.

I used to shoot the hypodermics for years with no issues. Unbelievable blood trails and never lost a deer. I switched broadheads because I wanted to try something new and not for any issues I had with rage.

 

[Mike D Texas]

I was anti Rage for years. Tried them when they went to the collar instead of the ring and they worked well.

I used the 2 blade extreme and the Hypodermics with very good success.

I've had tremendous success with rage over the last 10+ years but they met their match on my last hunt for bison. Took emptying my quiver to bring him down. I feel a little gun shy now but a bison is a massive animal so I'll still likely use them for elk and under.

I’ve shot a handful of bucks with rage hypodermics. One failure and the last time I used them. The buck was not recovered, but the ferrule broke at the beginning of the slot the blades go in. Not a single drop of blood on the carbon. A few drops of blood on the ground and never saw the deer again. It was a shoulder shot, and I assume it hit right in the knuckle right around 30 yards. Shot with a 74lb, 30” draw bow, 292fps 380gr arrows. I’ll have to dig through my old arrows to try and find it. The ones I shot through the ribs were absolutely devastating though. I’ve “spined” two bucks with them and saw no issues with the broadheads except they were bent.
Overall, I am much happier with the exodus, but a “rage in the cage” is bad medicine for deer, and my preferred broadhead for turkeys.

I’ve shot several elk with hypodermics. All have died even after a couple of subpar shots. Only downsides in my opinion are the collars. Not a fan. I’ve also had a couple blades sheer off. I assume bone contact. Never lost a animal though so…

 

[ChuckC]

I love the Rage Hypodermic no collars. Been an excellent broadhead for me. I run them and the G5 Deadmeat and Megameat. All great heads for me.

 

[doc holiday13]

Rage are great till you hit the scapula. They have their place in my quiver, but I don't use them on deer anymore

 

[01lowbird]

I've used rage before. I no longer shoot mechanicals. They work great until they dont.

 

[Sizthediz]

I've used 1 rage expandedable frontal shot on a whitetail <20yrds as she turned I could see the blood coming out of her vital "pocket" she piled up very quickly. No issues at all worked very well. I just like aiming for a shoulder in or out. Harder to run on 3 wheels than 4
