    Dont be un-American. Dont be the sort of scum that would buy stolen goods from a thief. Rage has an order blocking the dirt bag thieves trying to stop them from selling knock-off rage heads, dont be a dirt bag by sending money to thieves in China.

    Amazon buys in huge volumes on products that sell well. That's why most of their products are lower priced than any place else. I've been a Prime member for over 5 years. If the seller is Amazon or the companies account on Amazon it's the real deal. They don't peddle crap. Not to mention, they have outstanding customer service.

    I think we owe it to the animals to shoot good broadheads. It's by far the cheapest part of your setup, so get some real quality ones.
    I have tried "Rage Chinadermic" in my target, and they break on first or second shot while i get 8-10 shots out of a Spitfire.

    Well, many thanks to Copperhead who gifted me some broadheads, which means I got the best deal of all! Thanks again to him and for the information from the rest of you.

    False. While American companies do source product to be manufactured overseas, they are not made in the same factories, or even with the same materials. Most reputable companies, including FeraDyne, have controls and processes in place to ensure their products meet a certainly quality standard. After all, their reputation depends on it. The counterfeiters don't care - they cut corners, use cheaper materials and have almost no real quality control in place.

    It's easy for people to assume that they're all coming from the same place as it fits the narrative that buying counterfeits doesn't matter, but that's simply not true.

    False. They are not the same product. One is high quality and being offered from a legitimate American owned business which invested significant amounts of money to design, market and sell their product. The other is a counterfeit knock-off version.

    Still false. As mentioned before, it's not the same product. Also, you have plenty of broadhead options that cost less money, are made in America and work just as well. You don't have to buy the top of the line Rage Hypodermic Trypan that costs a premium price if you can't afford it. Go pick up a 6 pack of Muzzy 100 grain heads for $30. Doing this continues to support an American-owned business and doesn't break the bank.

    Unfortunately this is not true. Amazon is warehousing and fulfilling TONS of counterfeit goods, with little to no recourse for the people who are being ripped off.

    I've only been disappointed twice in all the years shopping with them. And both times they refunded my money and told me to keep the items. That's the best customer service I've ever received! As far as actual products are concerned that falls on the customers doing their due diligence in research on the product and seller...hence the reason for product reviews.

    I knew that - and what's your point? People complain about paying $50 for 3 pack of heads can buy a 6 pack for $30 that will kill a deer every bit as dead. My point is that there are options out there other than buying that absolute top of the line most expensive product in a category if you can't afford it.

    Funny how many on this forum are disagreeing on buying american made or chinese made.

    In other bowhunting forums many are trying to find the cheapest broadheads and posting their kills with them.

    Hahaha

    Yes there are all sorts of un-American folks that will knowingly buy stolen goods from thieves. These are the lowest of the low. This scum that buys china knock offs are no different than people that buy stolen treestands from people they know stole those tree stands or cameras from another persons land. Sure these knock-offs will kill but the shame and indignity on the buyers and users of those heads is great. How could anybody have any respect for a person that would stoop so low???

    I agree that it is wrong but this thread is more interesting than the upcoming "Mayweather-Mcgregor fight.

    No bashing on me please. I do not use hypodermic for Chinadermic broadheads. Nothing but Ramcats for me.
