Rage hypodermics or grim reaper 1 3/8?

[Chance Love]

Thanks for the advice guys. I have 2 grim reapers 1 3/8 broadheads and 5 hypos. I have shot a doe and got good results with my doe, but with hog I didn’t get greatest shot but couldn’t find any blood besides arrow. I just want a good cut and good penetration. That was my fear with the reapers not getting as much penetration being 3 blade.

Reapers will likely penetrate better than the Rages. That is one reason they are my go-to head.

you're gonna get a better bloodtrail from the rages, especially if you don't get a pass through. I have used rage broadheads for the last 10 yeas and have no complaints. I have the same specs as you, 27" draw and 380 grain arrow. i have killed everything from rabbits to elk with rage.

Ive killed many deer with Rage with probably 15 or so being with the Hypodermic. Zero complaints. I shot one doe perfect with a Grim Reaper WTS she only made it about 150 yards but it took about two hours to find her because there was just very few specs of blood. I got a complete pass through but from what we could tell the head didnt open all the way up. I could very well have done something wrong as far as the broadhead installation, but this has me afraid to try them again. As good as the rage have treated me I really have no reason to try anything else though. I have six still new hypos, when I need more heads I will probably try the Trypan.

That 1 3/8" reaper will blow through a deer with zero issues with your set up

Alright I’ll have to give it a try then. Thanks!

I got them last year and then ended up using hypodermics, looking forward to giving them a chance. Have always heard good things about them.

Hypo's have a rubber shock collar to hold blades closed in flight. If you stick them in a quiver to hunt this tends to cut the collar a little each time and it will open in flight and airplane on you. I have video of this on a big 8 I tried to take... it was ugly. I now use the reaper white tail special 2" or the carni-four. They have a brass shock collar. I have since noticed larger wound channel and more blood.

The hypos do not have a rubber shock collar. That would be the original rages. The hypos use a plastic shock collar where it has tabs that hold the blades closed and break away on impact.
