    So I went out and got a set of hypodermics and decided I want to put the extreme blades on them before Rage comes out with a version of it. I had to dremel the part that hooks onto the shock collar to get them to work as you can see in the first two pictures, but they look nasty! The blades were sharpened with a worksharp sharpener and the tips were also, they are needle sharp and on the tip and sharper than razors on the blade! From my understanding, the new blades shouldn't add too much weight so they won't effect my flight too much. And they are over 2 5/8" in cutting diameter! Can't wait to see them through a deer! Third picture is of a normal hypodermic compared to the ones I made

    I'm curious on how well those fly. If it works I give you props but at 2 5/8 it almost seems like you're overcompensating for something. :evilgrin: jk. They do look vicious!

    That dremmel mark is a definite weak point. Upon hitting the ribs half of those blades are bye bye and you are back to a smaller cutting diameter then before

    Hope you are shooting some serious poundage, I would think that all that cutting surface would have an affect on penetration.

    Hope they work out for you though.
