First, the arrow and broadhead behaviour must be similar to my field point training.
The first thought was to go through my requirements in my head to ensure it covers what I wanted. 2″ diameter entry wound (Image: Bernhardt Swart) What was recommended by my local archers shop was the Rage Hypodermic 125grain mechanical broadhead. The cutting diameter needs to be at least two inches and last but not least the parts and components of the broadhead should be replaceable if they get damaged or broke. Requirements was simple! Firstly the arrow and the broadhead needs to travel similar to my field points when I train. Then when bigger game and other hunting environments became possible I decided to try something else. The three blades cut through all the vitals and it served me well for plenty of hunts. Other highlights of the Hypodermic NC include a solid, stainless-steel ferrule, swept-back blade angle for maximum penetration and a very small profile in flight for fieldpoint accuracy.My first arrow head was a fix blade broadhead. 035-inch-thick blades to instantly deploy upon impact to their full, 2-inch cutting diameter for maximum devastation upon entry. Like all Rage heads, the Hypodermic NC features SlipCam technology, which allows the two. And unlike previous models, this can be done without loosening the broadhead or removing it from the arrow. As a bowhunter, I really appreciate the No Collar design innovation because it allows me to set and reset the broadhead into the closed position simply by pinching the blades shut. The key to the No Collar design is an internal sear machined into the blades that securely locks the blades in place when closed but also allows them to freely deploy on impact. That brings us back to 2019 and the all-new Hypodermic NC, the company’s first design to eliminate the need for an O-ring or Shock Collar. Within a couple of seasons, Rage enjoyed one of the most devoted brand followings in archery, and the name Rage quickly morphed from a noun into a verb that permeates bowhunting vernacular to this day, as in, Oh man, you Raged him! Bowhunters had never seen anything like it, and it wasn’t long before the archery community was buzzing about the massive entry and exit wounds the broadhead created, along with blood trails so heavy even a blind man could follow them. Rage introduced its original broadhead design - featuring the revolutionary, rear-deploying, SlipCam technology - in 2006. For that reason, I think it’s important to take a quick look back before we dive into the particulars of the Hypodermic NC. In many ways, the Hypodermic NC represents the culmination of several design enhancements Rage has made related to blade retention and deployment over the past decade. Based on the devastating results my friend and I enjoyed while using the all-new Rage Hypodermic NC (No Collar) on our recent Montana pronghorn hunt, I feel confident the brand’s popularity will continue for the foreseeable future. After all, being a market leader puts a target on your back, and even the most successful organizations must constantly adapt to stay ahead of the competition.įew companies in the bowhunting industry can boast a track record of success that rivals Rage, a brand that has dominated the mechanical broadhead market for more than a decade. In the business world, it is often said that climbing to the top is hard, but staying on top is harder.
