Sometimes the blood trails were excessive and other times they were average. The blood trails were always easy to follow when I didn’t watch the deer go down. Every deer where I was even close to a vital area was on the ground within seconds and didn’t go more than that one at 75 yards. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is this. Far more blood than with any rifle kill I’ve had on a deer. The next buck I shot ran 75 yards or so but left such a large blood trail that I could not believe there was any blood left in the deer by the time I found it. The deer was not conscious for more than a few seconds. This shot was not as gruesome as the first, but it was impressively effective. I watched it run less than 50 yards and pile up right in front of me. The second deer I shot was a nice buck walking at 23 yards. I was immediately sold on these broadheads. The deer was unconscious within seconds, it dropped right to the ground and couldn’t get back up. The wound was so impressive, and deer bled out so much and so quickly that it was a little bit nauseating to me. The first shot I took with a Rage Hypodermic Crossbow Broadhead dropped the deer to the ground, in place, at 30 yards. The stories below illustrate that quite well. But if the hunter can do their part and place the shot in a good spot, these things are amazing. These hypodermic crossbow broadheads are no exception to that simple truth. Shot placement is everything to achieve a quick humane kill. And if you hit it in a bad location, it may or may not die, and you may or may not recover it. Do they live up to that hype though? Are they really that devastating on deer? My experience with archery hunting is that if you hit a deer in an ideal location, that deer is going to die. Rage boasts a lot of big colorful words to describe how impressively effective these crossbow broadheads are, along with the non-crossbow versions. If you are new to crossbow hunting, here is a podcast episode I did on How To Pick Your First Crossbow For Deer Hunting. High Energy SHOCK COLLAR™ o r No Collar Blade Lock.Do they achieve this goal? In short, yes. The goal of mechanical broadheads is to provide a larger cutting diameter than is feasible with fixed blade broadheads while being more aerodynamic and accurate. These broadheads are simple to work with, safe to handle, and thus far in my experience, 100% reliable. One some models the blades are held in place by a collar, other models have no collar, more on that later. But upon impact, the cutting blades expand outward to drastically increase the cutting diameter. The rage hypodermics are a mechanical broadhead, which means they fold up neatly for storage and shooting. This review is packed with information and insight that the cookie cutter reviews can’t provide. And I have bought every single broadhead with my own money. I have four sets of antlers that these broadheads have brought home for me, not to mention some does the Rage’s have put in my freezer as well. I’ve seen plenty of reviews where people talk hypothetically and scientifically about these broadheads, quoting all the marketing materials or synthesizing other online reviews and it’s obvious they have never touched let alone shot one of these broadheads. I just finished my fourth deer hunting season exclusively using these broadheads, and I have alot of insights to share. That said, it may not be perfect for everyone, but I’ve found it to be my favorite tool in my broadhead toolbox thus far. The Rage Hypodermic Crossbow Broadhead is one of the greatest innovations in modern archery hunting in several areas.
