First hand feedback on Rage Hypodermics
« on: June 06, 2015, 07:56:46 PM »
I am considering using Rage Hypodermics for mulies this year.  I have use muzzy broadheads the most.  One year I tried Slick Tricks as advised by a friend that worked at Sportsmans.  The picture shows how the piece of crap bent over and fell out on a broadside shot.  Some of the shot opprotunities are at longer distances so I am looking for any advantage to help with long range accuracy and quick kill.  I would like to hear from any of you that have first hand feedback on the performance of expandables.

I don't know what the heck that is, looks cheap.  Don't know of any modern high-end broad head manufacturers using knurled ends like that  :dunno:

Allen?

Ya that doesn't look anything like a slick trick to me?  I shot muZzy 100 grain for 2 years and switched to slick tricks.   They are WAY stronger than muzzy and flew just fine to.

Not only is that an Allen Skybolt XS, but Sportsman's Warehouse doesn't sell them!  Sounds like the OP needs to find new friends that don't take his money for Slick Tricks and deliver a $13.50/pk of discount specials.

That is the worst I have ever seen a Skybolt look even after we've put them through some serious torture.  Aluminum is rather tough stuff...hard to believe that is the result of a broadside shot that didn't end up in the ball joint.  But, stranger things have happened.

I just hope this isn't a new marketing play by the new Rage organization.  Hopefully it is an oversight on the OP's part or just a rogue operative!

He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

As far as the Hypodermic goes:  IF   I were going to shoot an expandable that one would rate high on my list.  Probably in the group with the WASP Hammer/R. Attack and any Grim Reaper.  None that I am eager to hunt with, but I would rate those highest in blade quality and semi-reliability.

I have never had issues with long range flight with fixed heads.  If you have enough fletching and proper FOC you should be fine regardless of what head you choose.  MLB I know has reach out a few times with fixed heads with great results too.  If you can't get a 1" to 1.125" fixed to fly well you probably have bigger issues than broadhead configuration!
