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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

Grim reaper mechanical on the other hand fly's just as well and has been exactly the opposite for me, with great penetration, blood trails like a river. This years 6x6 bull quartered away, broke rib on entry, blew through offside shoulder, bull went 30 yards and tipped over in a lake of blood. Big bodied Wa blacktail this year took an arrow center of the chest and almost exited through rear ham next to the tail, looked like a 5 gallon bucket of blood was poured down the mountain. Everyone has a favorite but figured I'd share my experience.
