When the margins between success and failure in bowhunting often come down to your broadhead’s performance, equipment selection becomes critical. The 100-grain Rage Broadheads Hypodermic Trypan might just be the most lethal mechanical option I’ve tested in the field, and a recent British Columbia bear hunt proved exactly why these premium Rage broadheads deliver exceptional results.
Engineering That Delivers When It Counts
The Trypan’s design is purpose-built for maximum devastation. Its needle-like titanium ferrule creates an immediate slap-cut entry wound exceeding 2.5 inches upon impact. This initial damage channel is just the beginning of what makes these Rage broadheads truly exceptional in real hunting situations.
Those massive .039-inch blades—the thickest Rage has ever incorporated into a broadhead—deploy upon impact and maintain their cutting effectiveness throughout the penetration path. Despite this substantial cutting diameter when deployed, the swept-back design maintains just a 3/4-inch in-flight profile, delivering downrange accuracy that matches your fieldpoint impacts.
Rage Broadheads Technology Advantage
What sets Rage broadheads apart from competitors is their proprietary SlipCam deployment system. This technology ensures reliable blade expansion even at lower impact velocities or challenging angles. The Trypan model specifically features:
- Improved Shock Collar blade retention system preventing premature deployment
- Industry-leading 2+ inch cutting diameter upon full expansion
- Titanium construction for optimal strength-to-weight ratio
- Precisely machined ferrule for exceptional flight characteristics
Field Performance: BC Bruin Test
At 53 yards—a distance where lesser broadheads might fail to deliver—the Rage Hypodermic Trypan’s performance was nothing short of spectacular. The shot placement was solid, and the results were immediately evident. As the bear rolled after impact, the devastation caused by those razor-sharp blades was unmistakable.
What impressed me most wasn’t just the entry wound, but the way the broadhead’s design allowed for deep penetration while maximizing tissue damage. This isn’t just marketing hype—it’s the difference between a long tracking job and a quick recovery that Rage broadheads consistently deliver.
How Rage Broadheads Compare to Traditional Options
Unlike fixed-blade broadheads that sometimes struggle with flight consistency at extended ranges, the Rage Trypan maintains tight groupings even beyond 50 yards in my testing. This performance advantage comes without sacrificing penetration power, which has historically been a concern with mechanical designs.
The blood trails produced by Rage broadheads are also consistently more substantial than those from smaller cutting-diameter options. This translates directly to faster recoveries and less time spent tracking wounded game.
Bottom Line Performance
The Rage Hypodermic Trypan represents a significant advancement in mechanical broadhead technology within the extensive Rage broadheads lineup. When your season comes down to one perfect moment, having equipment that delivers this level of performance provides both confidence and results.
For bowhunters pushing their effective range or those hunting larger game where penetration and blood trails are critical, the Trypan delivers field-proven performance. The combination of flight characteristics, structural integrity, and devastating cutting ability makes these Rage broadheads a standout option for serious hunters facing real-world conditions.
Field-tested at extended ranges on large game, the Rage Trypan’s performance speaks for itself: devastating entry, excellent penetration, and quick, ethical harvests.
Frequently Asked Questions About Rage Broadheads
Are Rage broadheads worth the price? Based on field performance and reliability, Rage broadheads deliver value through consistent performance and quick recoveries that justify their premium price point.
Do Rage broadheads fly like field points? Yes, in my testing across multiple Rage models including the Trypan, these broadheads maintain nearly identical flight paths to practice points out to 60+ yards when properly tuned.
Which Rage broadheads are best for larger game? The Hypodermic Trypan with its .039″ blade thickness and robust design makes it ideal for larger game including bear, elk, and moose where penetration and durability are paramount.
