Questions & Answers
There is no practice head included in this package.
Yes, they can be swapped out. I use an Excalibur Matrix 405 to fire these, and they are absolutely devastating!
I shot them from my Parker F4 tornado at 345 fps at a very sharp angle right next to the last rib and broke right through it right into the heart from the ground a beautiful 12 point went 60 ft and the blades were still together GREAT HEADS I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.
At 50 yards, the difference in height between the 100 gr and the 125 gr coming out of a 370fps crossbow is about 3 inches.

Don't listen to those who say it's not possible. They fly effortlessly and inflict a lethal wound. It's as if you slashed the deer with a broadsword. The last five I killed were in close proximity to me and left a blood trail that a blind man could follow. With these, I've shattered ribs, leg bones (on exit), and shoulder blades, causing only minor warping.
I just don't care for them! They may think they're the best ever on the internet, but I believe many of those articles are paid for their positive reviews. Once you get past 40 yards, they simply don't shoot consistently. They aren't as precise as field points even at 40. If you want to be successful, you need consistency and confidence in your shooting, and this isn't the way to do it. Why would you want a crossbow that shoots at 400 FPS if you can only shoot at a distance of less than 40 yards? It's also a pain to fiddle with the little red collar, especially after you've shot it in a practice foam target once. It'll take your reader glasses to get the blades back into place so you can get the collar over the tiny barbs. To put it mildly, it's annoying. I purchased practice tips, which performed slightly better than field points but not as well. The practice points, too, don't resemble the blades they're meant to imitate. With field points, my bow shoots 2 inch groups at 50 yards, while the practice points shoot 6-inch groups. These broad heads, which come in 8-inch groups of three, are even less accurate. On one occasion, the blades erupted, resulting in a loss of $30! I read all the hype and reviews about how great these Hypodermic Broadheads are, but they don't seem to work for me. For me, the 100 grain Spitfire crossbow is the best option. At least with my CB, a 1/2-inch three-blade shoot likes field points.
My X- Bow shoots these at 358 to 362 across the chronograph, and when they perform as intended, they fly true and produce devastating terminal performance. I've killed six deer with them, but two of them were quartering shots, and the blades failed to deploy reliably on entrance, as evidenced by a single cut in the entrance wounds. I was successful in recovering both deer. However, this has caused me to lose faith in them. If they were the only ones I had, I'd use them with confidence and just wait for the best shot presentation. Since then, I've been using the RamCat exclusively.
These broadheads are absolutely fantastic! With my crossbow, I'll never shoot any other brand. There were four broken ribs in total, as shown in the attached photo of the entrance wound.
This broadhead makes me conflicted. The blood trail left by the first deer I shot with this head was unlike any other. My arrow penetrated deep into the ground after passing through despite being shot from 40 yards away. The second buck was a broadside shot from 30 yards away. The arrow had to have struck bone and turned inside the deer at a 90 degree angle. I was able to fire another shot, but the same thing happened again. My arrow completely deflected when it hit bone. In order to put that deer down, I had to do something that every hunter dreads: I had to do what every hunter dreads: I had to do what every hunter dreads: I had to do I'm not sure how I feel about these broadheads right now.
In a 20-yard test, the practice head flies nearly as well as a filed tip, but the real broadhead does not. It's at least 2 inches off from a field point's impact point. The practice head, by the way, is nothing like the real thing. In contrast, I tested my G5 Montec and was surprised to discover that it flies nearly as well as a field tip at 20 and 30 yards; I am very disappointed with this rage mechanic broadhead.
In the past, I've always used fixed broadheads, but this year, many of the broadheads I usually use were out of stock or on backorder. When I was looking for the best mechanical broadheads, I came across these. With one of these Rage Hypodermic broadheads, I shot a six-point buck, who ran about 50 yards. The entrance hole was enormous, measuring three feet by three feet. The bolt was 4 inches long and lodged in the deer's far shoulder. The only possible issue is if the broadhead does not open properly, which is unlikely due to the way it is designed. Good luck with your hunt!.
For the past four years, I've been shooting them with both a compound and a crossbow. There were more than 25 deer in total, with five of them being mature bucks. Not only have I had no failures, but I've also reused almost all of them at least once. They were reused until they were lost, and I recall using one four times before it was lost. They pass through ribs and stay straight. I always put my reused heads through a spin test and a practice shoot. Oh, and there are new blades as well.
