    Just bought a three pack of these things. I hope they live up to the hype.
    Anyone else using them this season?

    Getting the Hypo derms for me and the 40 k.e. for my son, they look strong and devastating!

    I'm a Swhacker guy...but bought a pack of the Hypodermics to try out this year. I really like them over their other Heads.

    Shot this doe with the hypo at 30 yards. First time I have shot expandable broadheads, and I was skeptical. The hypo passed through like butta. Beautiful entry and exit wounds and internal damage. I'm a believer.

    I just bought a set of the hypodermics, haven't shot them yet but I have to say I don't care for the plastic collar design..they look like junk to me...like the collar would break after each shot.

    I also bought a pack of KillZone Maxx heads...now these look sweet and durable. No bands or crap plastic parts to screw up.

    I don't typically use mechanicals but I liked the design of both the Rage and Killzones opening mechanisms, unfortunately I'm not as happy with the Rage as I am the KillZone. I have two sets of the Hellrazors and I like them a great deal.

    I'm going to buy some of the NAP Bloodrunners and check those out, they look like they would be more durable than these two blade models to me...the archery shop just didn't have any yesterday.

    they're wicked sharp and fly awesome, but they do have an inherent weak spot- that blade notch that sits in the collar. Seen many pics online where the blade snapped at exactly that point after entry. Good news is if that does happen (even if it happens on both sides) you still have about a 1 1/4" wide diameter head going through the deer.

    I'm shooting them this year as are many others, but I'll have to see how they hold up before I give them a full endorsement.

    I shot my doe yesterday with the new hypos awesome heads down in 50 yards clean pass through. And if your going to be using them a lot buy a blade replacement kit and a also got a little tube that has 50 shock collars in it. Well worth it

    I used to have some rage 2 and 3 blades but I didn't want to keep them because of the fact of the O-rings, so I got some killzones. tell me how yall feel about the shock collars

    I really like the shock collars. Very little chance of error. And they are not gonna dry rot like the old o rings did

    Yep. I used the Rage Extreme last year and the Shock Collar is 1000X better than the O-ring.

    Got my doe with em yesterday. Extreme quartering away shot. Shot went in just past her hip bone. Tore up liver and lung, and then severed an artery on top of heart. She only went 22 yrds and fell over. Can't wait to get a broadside shot to see what that does

    I love the shock collars. A LOT BETTER than the O rings. They are designed to break after every shot. I have a broken Shock Collar, more than likely I have a Dead Deer!! That is a welcome thing to have !
