Which model ?

They are extremely accurate heads, and kill on average well... in a perfect world theyd be sharpend

Great for bear.  Shot one at about 17 yards while elk hunting, bear ran less then 30.   I use 150 grain just for bear.  Fixed blade for elk.

1.5 and 1.5 hybrid

Hybrid over the standard 1.5.... the 1.5 seemed pretty small vs the 2inch, the 2 inch was devistating....didnt kill any deer with the hybrid this year but killed one bull with them and he died very fast with the arrow stopping on the off side shoulder.. the hybrid has a similiar drop profile to that of an iron will as well so if your hunting with a combo quiver and shooting distance that is somthing to keep in mind

I ran the SEVR 1.5" (non-hybrids) this year. They were crazy accurate; I was shooting very nice groups out to 95 yards. I shot my spike elk on the last day with them. The spike was asleep, bedded down broadside but facing away with his vitals opened up towards me at 71 yards with a fairly steep downhill angle. I put the arrow right behind the shoulder and took out the top of one lung and the arrow stopped in the dirt after going through the middle of the other lung. He immediately sprinted side hill towards the first brush line and I lost track of him. I could see my arrow buried to the fletching at a good angle so I knew it was a good shot but I gave him an hour before I went after him.

In the next 200 yards, I found ONE drop of blood, ONE. I know this basin well and had a pretty good idea where he was and the ground had thawed and his tracks were very obvious. On the way, I found my broken arrow; he had hit the brush line and heading straight down it. I circled below him and saw him laying there. Unfortunately, he was not dead and lifted his head to stare at me at like 20 yards; I have no doubt that he would have been dead within minutes. I shot him frontal and he died right there.

The broadheads killed him; however, the blood trail was nonexistent. I really was impressed with the accuracy of these broadheads, and the practice mode was great. I was very disappointed with the blood trail though and I'm undecided on them going forward.

I've helped track numerous elk shot with multiple type broadheads including my bull this year that didn't leave any blood.  I had a complete pass through in the upper 3rd of the lungs with a fixed 4 blade and had to grid search. Found him about 125yds away. Tracked a cow last week shot with a 300, zero blood. They're tough and just fill up with blood at times.

I’ve killed 4 bulls with the 1.5’s and two bucks with the 2.0’s. Worked great. I do take them apart and get them razor sharp. All pass throughs.

I have used them on 3 bulls and 3 bucks.  The standard 1.5.

All of them fell in sight, but started leaking shortly after the hits. Blood trails were good but not needed. Great accuracy. Need to be sharper out of the box.

Anyone having issues with them opening in the quiver when pressed in hard? I read that they do but not sure if it's "normal"

I bought some foam and shoved it in the end of my quiver. I cut slots specifically for the SEVR heads and never had any issues.

Not at all, but you need to use common sense and not just blindly shove it in the quiver. Line it up like you should any broadhead

As long as the tabs that deploy the blades are safe from pressure from front pressure, the heads are safe from accidental deployment. they do tend to rattle a bit and can create some buzz in the quiver hood, I found if you load the arrow then twist the tabs sideways to barely contact foam essentially tightening the head within the quiver, it drastically reduced or eliminated that issue.

Thanks for the replies. I'm looking at the Sevrs and the G5 Deadmeats. Hard to leave fixed blades and try but I may test one out on a blacktail before heading up for whitetail next year.
