Hypodermic NC +P

Rage engineered the Hypodermic NC +P to address two longstanding complaints about wide-cutting mechanical broadheads: collar fussiness and sacrificed penetration. By eliminating plastic shock collars in favor of an integrated blade-retention finger system, this head stays closed in the quiver without requiring fragile secondary parts. The plus-P profile scales down cutting diameter to a swept-back 1.75 inches, prioritizing forward momentum and exit wounds over the sheer surface-area destruction of larger two-inch cuts.

The build relies on a solid steel hypodermic ferrule capped with a needle-like chisel tip that punches through hide and starts bone clearance before the rear-deploying blades make contact. Utilizing .035-inch thick stainless steel blades, it offers better edge retention and rigidity than lighter mechanicals when glancing off ribs. Field flight remains exceptionally true, tracking alongside standard field points even in crosswinds and forgiving slight tuning imperfections on high-speed compound setups.

The trade-off is mechanical reality: while penetration is vastly improved over wide-cut heads, this is still not an arrow head meant to punch cleanly through heavy scapulas. The blade-retention tabs also require an intentional click into place and can work loose if snagged repeatedly in dense brush or packed into stiff foam quivers. For whitetail bowhunters pulling moderate draw weights or hunters targeting larger big game who still demand mechanical flight precision, it strikes an ideal compromise.
