I'm sure they work just fine with good shot placement. My problem with them is they like to open up while in my quiver ... unacceptable I've never had that problem. Do you always check and make sure your shock collars are lined up right? The folks that still cry about them opening in their quiver don't know anything about shock collars. Lol. They are basing their opinion off the old heads. I love my Rage Hypodermics!

I kill a whole lot of deer and just don't seem to have many problems so I'll just stick with them.

I've killed several deer with the 3 blades and they left buckets, I mean buckets, of blood behind. BUT, I had one open up in mid flight on a refuge hunt and I missed out on a big 9 pointer, after that I was ruined with them. It may have just been a fluke, or my mistake. But I just lost confidence in them. And you all know that once that happens, it's time to change. This seems to be most everyone's experience that has shot them long enough

I have a lot of friends who shoot Rage and I'm always impressed with the blood trails they leave. I shoot the NAP killzone which is very similar except the blade retention system seems to be better to me. No o-rings or bands.
I think there are trade offs to both. If it's slightly harder for the blades to open then you wonder if they slows down penetration on impact, whereas Rage doesn't have that extra resistance. I say shoot whatever you are confident with. Too many people blame broadheads for lost deer when it's most likely shot placement. Any broadhead on the market today is going to kill a deer if you hit it in the right spot.
I'm with everything you said. I shoot Killzone Max as well as rage. Same exact head except like you said the NAP retention system is awesome.

I've used them and had no problem. They actually copied the Rocky Mountain Gator broadhead. Basspro bought them out and now they go by Blackout gator. Basically the same broadhead, only you can get them on sale for $19.99/3. This is what i use. Been using them for years. There's not a broadhead on the market that wont put a deer down quickly if you put it in his boiler room. The head was the Rocky Mountain Snyper. The NAP Slingblade is a copy of the Gator.

I still have a small stash of snypers  I began buying them up when I found out rocky Mtn sold. Also have a few gators left. Killed quite a few deer with those heads over the years. Snypers left gaping wound channels and a blood trail a blind man could follow

Ok stand corrected again. I'm using gators(fourth picture) and have for probably 10 years or more, before rage come out. Shaw, how did the snypers become gators, basspro change the name? I could have sworn that when i first started buying them, they were rocky mountain gators.

Snypers became rages
Gators became the redhead gator and nap brought out the sling blade which is essentially an original gator
