If you want a broadhead that does real damage when it connects, the Rage Crossbow broadhead is hard to beat. I’ve been shooting them, and they’ve earned a permanent spot in my quiver.
Rage Hypodermic Crossbow Broadhead (100 grain)
- Mechanical, rear-deploying blades that stay tucked in flight
- Opens on impact to a 2-inch cutting diameter
- Two 0.035-inch stainless steel blades
- Big wound channel and blood trails you can follow
My setup
I shoot the Rage Hypodermic Crossbow in 100 grain on 22-inch bolts. It’s a two-blade head with 0.035-inch stainless steel blades that open to a 2-inch cutting diameter.
How it flies and opens
The Rage is a mechanical, rear-deploying broadhead. The blades stay tucked in during flight, so it flies like a field point. When it hits, the blades swing open and lock, and that’s where it does its work.
The wound channel
This is where the Rage earns its keep. It opens on impact and makes a huge wound channel. The big cutting diameter leaves a wide, devastating cut, the deer bleeds fast, and it doesn’t go far.
I took the doe in the photo with one. I was in a stand 22 feet up, and it was a 20-yard shot. The photo shows the big entry wound and the blood.
Blood trails you can actually follow
A bigger hole means more blood, and more blood means an easier recovery. That counts when the deer heads into thick cover or when you’re tracking after dark.
The bottom line
If you shoot a crossbow and want maximum damage with field-point flight, the Rage is the one. It opens on impact, cuts a massive channel and puts deer down.
Verdict: Highly recommended.
