rage hypodermic

First year I am shooting them, so no experience on deer yet. I shot several bucks, an elk and a bear with the Ulmer Edge and they were fine, so I am expecting the same.
 
My last two blacktails were with them. Both good shots at 15 yds (same stand and same exact spot on the game trail) with passthroughs but I had trouble trailing blood on both. First went about 100 yds. The second went about that far but in a circular roundabout way.

I'm planning on trying them for whitetail this year, but if I'm not happy I may switch back to back to grim reapers. I had great blood trails with them, I just had one not fly well (handful of good experiences so may have been the shooter).
 
i got a full pass thru. strong quartering away shot. past 60 yards. i put the pin on the last rib and the arrow blew out the front shoulder on the opposite side. never found that arrow, i think it kept on going. the deer piled up fast. blood everywhere.
 
One clean pass through and the deer went about 60 yards. Another deer I hit him quartering away with the arrow going through the opposite shoulder and sticking out 5 inches. So not a clean pass through, but he only went 10 yards and dropped. Blades deployed as expected for both and held up fine with both even though bone was hit. I did buy two more sets and after weighing them I found a 2 grain variance in weight for 2 heads of 6. Not a huge deal, but I sent them back and they replaced them.

what grain arrow for these results ?
 
I will try to get some pics up tomorrow.

I had an antelope jump my string and as he wheeled around, my hypodermic went through the base of his skull and out his cheek bone. Obviously not ideal shot placement, but he didn't take a step.

The broadhead is entirely intact with only a little swept-back bend in the blades. The hole speaks for itself. I had to unscrew the broadhead from the shaft and leave it in as it was stuck halfway out the heavy face bones.

It's not a mule deer, but they are pretty tough little heads. There isn't a mule deer I wouldn't shoot them at.
 
Are you guys getting same POI as FPs? Out to how far?

i have shot mine out to 80. no issues. the practice head is nice. i bet it would be a good small game killer.

my bow i tuned to shoot my montecs and slicktricks..so it is tuned the best i can get it, with my experience level.

if i had to pick an achilles for the hypos, it is that collar thing. i have found they have a shelf life. i dont know if they deteriorate or what, but have found a few broken for no reason, leaving the blades flopping around in the quiver hood. now i check them.
 
here are some pics of the antelope I "head shot" (he ducked the exact wrong way as my arrow was in flight!)

This was coming from a 31'' DL Hoyt, 72lbs, on the end of a CE maxima blue streak. through my chrono they left the bow at 317fps. hope no one minds a little "field to table" reality. I promise, it was a quick end for him.




 
I have never used them, but shared bear camp with some guys last year who shot monsters with these. Exit holes were massive.
 
Picked up two packs last night and shot them. With any luck, I will be able to use one on a mountain goat next week. My only issue is that I have a feeling the amount of blood on his white coat won't make for a good picture :)
