I do believe that the new Hypodermic is by far the best Rage design yet.
I think the collar design is rather good and the ferrule is great in all ways but one in my opinion.
I think the tip is way to short in front of where the deployment of the blades starts.
I am worried this can make a problem at shots at sharp angles, like when from a treestand or at quartering shots.
I think a 125 grain version where the extra weight would be used to make a longer ferrule with a longer tip would be a better design.
When using Rage and other mechs with large cutting surfaces it is important to have enough momentum to ensure good penetration.
I am shooting 615 grain arrows at 260 fps and would get good penetration with these mehcs, but I still prefer to use fixed broadheads.
But I am considering to test the new Hypodermic and also the all steel Ulmer Edge.
