I bought a dozen "Chinadermics" off of Ebay, because I like Rage but $15 a pop is a bit ridiculous for what's quite possibly a throw away arrow. A short arrow going real fast in mud and palmettos often means a lost arrow. So far I've shot at 9 deer this season and recovered only 2 arrows intact. That gets expensive quick. I posted a while ago asking about durable heads, but got to thinking about the loss rate and decided that didn't make sense.
So anyway. Chinadermics. $30 for 2 dozen of them, making them about one tenth the cost of the official ones. There wasn't a dime's worth of difference in them once they showed up, and they all weighed within a couple grains of 100 and did well on a spin test. They were about as sharp as the real hypodermic I had in my quiver, so I went hunting with them.
Killed 1 doe so far with them. Caught both scapulas and ended up with 2 bent blades, which is honestly par for the course with mechs. But I got full penetration and lost $1.50. I plan on shooting them until they give me a reason not to, and trying to take pictures and do more write ups for folks.
