I'm a fixed head shooter, but had a gift card to spend at BP. I ended up getting a pack of Typan's and have to say the blades are thick and sharp and I like the retention system. I'll see how they perform on deer this year.
I'm shooting an Axis arrow at 430 grains and 63 lbs

 

I have been leaning towards the Trypan but wondered about the blade sharpness. Good to hear its pretty good.

 

The new retention collars on the Trypan are really nice and overall it seems like it's gonna be a great head. Blade angle on the chisel is still a little better, but not by much, and cutting diameter is slightly smaller.

IMO both of those are better options than the Hypo because of blade angle alone. Either is a great choice, but I'll be shooting the chisel mostly because of cost.

 

The blade angle of the trypan and chisel tip is one reason I'm more interested in those than the standard hypo.

Any other advice of input?

 

Trypan

 

I'm a chiseltip guy myself. Steel will rust just like the Hypodermic

 

I've been shooting the 2 blade chisel tip for several years with good luck. Only had one not pass through, and that was no fault of the broadhead. My shot was a little far forward, and the doe took a step as I released. I took out her front leg, but it still had good penetration and made a quick kill.

 

I can't comment on the chisel but the hypodermic is my go to broadhead. I just received my trypan and they look like a awesome broadhead.

 

Man Im digging those trypans

 

Can't wait for a Chipan. Those look nasty

Bahahahahaha!!! X2.... flame away!

 

at 54 dollars plus tax for three, I'll keep rebuilding my two blade originals!!

 

Or buy 5 dozen chinadermics that do the exact same job!

 

Trypans look good.

 

I am probably going to try the trypan myself this year. I have heard good things about them so far. Saw a video of them holding up very well against a steel drum top which is nice to see. Thicker blades appear to be very durable.

 

I break ribs with the original two blades. I have a hard time believing the typan with do damage to the shoulder. I can't justify that big of a price increase. I never shoot a set of blades more than once.

I do like the thicker blade, but I feel typan will suffer the same fate on the shoulder.

The price increase does suck. I don't see that getting any better. There is a local pro shop near me that is selling them for the same price as the standards and Hypos. If not for that I wouldn't by them.

 

I don't trust aluminum broadheads .I've had several chisel tips break ,infact I've had one not penetrate because it broke on impact with a rib. The arrow bounced back and half the head stuck in the rib . Another member of the camp killed that buck a week later and I dug the half a head out of the rib, my arrow still had the other half . I've shot the hypodermics without problem, complete pass thrus and excellent blood trails .
A group of customers took trypans to Africa and killed tons of large animals without fail .

 

Was it the original chisel that used an o ring? Those were turned down behind the ferrule and really weak there. The newer SC models are full size behind the ferrule and much better.

 

I too was a strict Exodus user and picked up some rage heads this year. Trying the hypodermic plus p's. Worked well on a turkey, we'll see how they do on deer.

 

With 63# Carbon Icon Performance Setting, 30# draw, 394 gr arrow, I used a regular 2.3" Extreme that passed through both shoulders of a buck which was crazy, and had a crazy blood trail. I am thinking the non chisel is the way to go with these.

 

I have shot the hypos for the past two seasons with a lot of success, in fact the most knarly wound I have seen on an animal was a coyote I shot with one last year. The thing just plain ripped it appart and the blood trail was insane. It has performed well and never let me down, I have had to replace some blades a few times, but I find that to be pretty standard with a lot of BH's. On the same note I have used it and been able to just put the blades on a stone and back into the quiver as well.

The Trypans have my attention now, as far as the Rage line. Next year when I can pick them up on sale for half of what they are now I will probably try a couple packs.

This year I did switch from the rage and picked up some SWAT A4's and am excited to give them a whirl.

The Rages have never let me down though. Either way you go I would say you are gonna see success, if you want to give the hypo a whirl I would try the +p line. Or go with the Trypan, I just love the tip design of those more than the chisel tips, they are like a needle.

 

Hated the chisel tips. They are so weak. Every one of them bent. Hypodermics are great heads, though! I keep those and Buzzcuts in my quiver.

 

Check out the video in the link. Pretty crazy. Shows the Trypan being shot into a steel drum lid.

cool video, how many hunters will shoot a 72# 30" draw bow with these??

 

My friends and I started using chisel tips and they performed great. I also like the blade angle. A local shop ran a sale on them and we gat a deal on them. This summer I bought a couple of packs of the Hyperdermic+p that were on sale also. I haven't paid full price for any of my Rage heads including the Extremes Midway ran on sale a few weeks ago for cheap.

 

Mr. Cheap a** here, can you rebuild the trypan?

 

Which chisel tips you talking? I had the 3 blade Rage chisel tips and both times only had a single blade open.

 

My shop is selling them the same price as the hypodermics.

Chisel Tips are awesome

 

I'm rocking the trypans with an extra 20 gr up front this year.
