First hand feedback on Rage Hypodermics

[GameHunter1959]

I am new to archery. Last year was my first year. I was using Easton Bloodline arrows. I experimented with Montec 100, Slick Trick 100, and Shuttle T. I did not care for the Montec heads. They seem to fly heavy-IMO. I liked the Slick Trick head, but ended up killing my buck with a Shuttle T head. Ran 50 yards and piled up. This year I want to find 2-3 more heads to experiment with. I bought the Rage Hyper 100s a few days ago. I have never shot an expandable head. Any suggestions?

I am hunting open country with mild sage brush. I shot my buck at 64 yards downhill into a draw. Most the shots that presented themselves were a minimum 45 yards. I suspect I will need to shoot long again this year. I shoot 60 pounds.

That would be the one I would try.  Next on my list would probably be Grim Reaper.  If I had to pick a 3rd expandable it would likely be InnerLoc EXP   I hate rubber bands!

If you want a fixed blade that flies as good or better than an expandable try our new line of Savora LPS broadheads.  Insane how easy they are to get to fly well.  Minimum cross wind drift too!  Triple Sec. or Vandyke models pretty much identical other than ferrule material.

Looking at the Savora broadheads... do they offer any solid one piece construction ones?  After switching to Montecs a few years ago I much prefer the solid design.

I understand the though but I'm much more confident in the rock solid little Savora Delmastros and VanDyke's than I am with the butter-soft Montecs

We have no plans to make a welded head.

I tried hard to get accustom to using the Montec heads. I would shoot 40 yards with my practice tips, and be in the bulls eye or darn close. I would them switch the tips out to the Montec heads, and I was consistently shooting high and right. I am very inexperienced, so it could have been me. I seemed to shoot better with other brands.

Thanks for all the feedback.. I will buy a few of the other brands mentioned and see what fly's well for me.

So my take is if your shooting a low ke bow IE old man or womans bow the thin bladesand two blade set up on the hypodermic might be ok . get it in and let it work . I have found at 80 lbs of ke 310 fps they blow the blades right off in fact a month or so ago i shoot a hypodermic threw a milk jug into my block target . when i went to pull it i found a missing blade . after going threw the jug it broke off hitting the block (not for me) the deer i shot with the three blade broke two blades of on entry between two ribs and exited with one , it was a down hill shot and offered a crappy blood trail. I'm gonna give the grim reepers a shot this season .

Expandables have been legal to use here in Montana for quite a while. Its interesting that most of the hunters here use fixed blades.

My friend own the only sporting goods store around here and told me he sells 10 pks of fixed blades for every 1 pk of expandables.

The couple guys I know that use expandables like the G5 T3 broad head

I personally wouldn't shoot an elk with any type of expandable.
