What is the verdict on these heads? I see lots of slipcam (oring retention on back) and swhacker heads listed for sale in bulk. Anyone with experience using these heads chime in. Just curious.
I also got some of the 125gr Chinadermic Xtremes....I shot 1 head into my Rhinehart 18-1 target over 10x now and it still looks like new other than the blades are duller. ...but the blades didn't bend at all. My only complaint about these knock-off Rage Hypo's are that the blades are duller than the authentic Rages....a quick sharpening and they are just as good at a true fraction of the cost. I don't mind paying for quality stuff, but $45 for 3 broadheads is kinda nuts.
My originals are just as dull if not duller than the China ones. They will not pop a stretched rubber band until touched up straight out of the packaging but both sharpen right up with my broadhead sharpener.I also got some of the 125gr Chinadermic Xtremes....I shot 1 head into my Rhinehart 18-1 target over 10x now and it still looks like new other than the blades are duller. ...but the blades didn't bend at all.

Here is the pic of my 8 pt buck and pics of the chinadermic that did him in. And I agree William II, still good performance for this head in relation to where it hit. View attachment 80273 View attachment 80265
Yup, on both counts!dont like chinese but i bet rage is made there.also i can shoot 16 deer and still be money ahead if 1 use 1 per deer.
Okay but don't forget part of the reason the originals are $10-15 is because the company actually created and brought to market a product from scratch. All these chinese companies have done is steal a design and piggyback on another company's work.I just bough 24 Chinese 100 grain Hypodermics for $24 and there is no difference in the ones I bought for $45 a three pack from Rage other than they used a different screw holding the blades which I like anyway.
Took one yesterday and shot it three times using the same shock collar into a pretty hard broadhead target and it is still perfect and a few licks with my sharpener and it will shave.
I hate buying from China but the original Rage heads are made there too and at $1 vs. $15 each it is hard to pass on.
