While i agree sevr is probably the best choice for mechanicals, it is important that you pointed out who should be shooting them. Being a deer tracker dog handler, ive witnessed a lot of deer that should have had the muscle behind the arrow to get a pass through and they didnt. One that stands out is a straight down shot at the base of his stand and the arrow didnt even hit the ground. It stuck vertical pretty deep The deer died, but wasn't dead when i searched 24 hours later and was recovered later that summer. Pass through or not on that shot probably wouldnt have mattered since it was a poor choice to begin with. Oh by the way, i shot a elk humerous square on at 45 yards with bone broadhead and while it did destroy it, i got about 10 inches of penetration using a 650 grain arrow and 240 spined arrow.
One thing to note is the recovery distance. Deer hit by mechanicals feel it much more than deer hit by fixed blades and tend to run a lot further before expiring or slowing down.
@@km6731 I don't want to jinx myself, but I have experienced the opposite with Sevr. I don't shoot the 2.0's though. Just well sharpened 1.5 and 1.7's. 3 animals last season went a combined 140 yds.
Thats a good point a front deploying mechanical can slap at the hide when opening spooking them to run more than just a cut on contact. I have had both with SEVR some just stand there and die and some just immediately and run.
I sharpen mine prior to use with the Stay Sharp guide, works great. I throw the blades away after going through an animal. I have always shot the now discontinued 1.7 and 1.5. I will try the 1.75 this year. My setup shoots a 455gr arrow 280 fps. High angled shots on 200# and up hogs will not get an exist with the 1.7. Steeply quartered shots on deer also won't get you an exit with the 1.7. I would never even consider shooting the 2.0. The 1.5 is a bad dude and all you really need. The pivot works great. Saved me twice last season by pivoting around spine and leg bone.
Interesting observation. Ive only had pass throughs with the 2.0. On bull elk, deer, even high angled shots. Of course if you hit off side shoulder not going to happen. Im not shooting much more than you 289fps @ 540gr. I am really interested in the 1.75” though. Might be the perfect do it all broadhead.
Switched to them last year, using the Robusto 2.0 with my Mission crossbow and I’ve been very pleased with the results. Nice easy to follow blood trail got me a nice doe last year 👍
I ordered a frw of the sevr heads and one of the 1st things I did was weigh them. I ordered 100gr broadheads and when weighing them, they ranged from 99.8grs. To 109.8grs. ... is 10 grains an issue on flight?.. didnt seem to be but my average distance is 15 to 38yrds. Never shot them past 50yrds when practicing and tbey grouped OK but nothing to over impressive. Yes, my bow is tuned perfectly
10 grains wont effect anything, I do always match my broadheads weight to arrow weight, put the heavier ones on your lighter arrows and lighter ones in your heavier arrows. You see each arrow is a few grains different also. As ling the total setup is under 10 gr difference no issues. Most people wouldn’t notice 20grains difference in an arrow. Levi Morgan might be the exception. 😂
Yeah I mention that. Any mechanical broadheads the deploy and cut an entrance whole just eat up KE. If you have a lower poundage bow I think a mechanical that deploys after the initial entrance would be better. But why shoot anything that leaves a small entrance hole just use a fixed blade.
Ive seen so many videos of people blowing through humerous sockets before with single bevels. And literally hear shoot them. So it happens more than you think. Would i shoot at a shoulder, no but its good for marginal shots too. But i shoot both sevr and singe bevel iron wills.
I agree a good single bevel like the Iron Will in the right setup will do it. But on big game like elk there are too many variables. My point is whats more ethical, shooting a blade that when it hits the shoulder won’t kill the animal and rather know it will live, or shoot a broadhead that may actually penetrate it but only get one lung and not be able to find it or make it lame and not be able to survive.
Yes after changing the blades I have had some blades rattle in the ferule. I solved this by bending the metal O-ring in between the blades and ferrule a little more.
I have had other two blade mechanical with blade rattle issues. Bow string wax at the pivot point for the blades worked fine. You don't need to dissemble them either deploy the blades and get a little in there and work the blades a bit to spread it out. Carmax lip balm in the little tube that your squeeze works equally well and is easy to apply. You just need a tiny touch of it, same with wax.

I switched to the 2 inch Sevr middle of last season and I couldn’t be happier with them
I still haven’t found a better all around broadhead.

The new titanium 1.7s are very nice. Perfect inbetween mechanical cut size.
Nice too see an honest man
Seen high quality single bevel cut the humorous in half at the ball socket and hit the other chest wall. Deer did not get far and tipped over
I did have one caller's wife not find one with the SEVR on a bad shot too far back and didn't get complete pass through with the 1.5s.
I just bought 7 of the 2" 150 rubusto I'm drawing 28" 81# and with 150s the whole set up is 600 grains.
You could anything with that setup.

Just think how much more kinetic energy it will take for a pass through. Not recommended for people who shoot 40-55 lbs.

Have you notice the 2.0 having a rattle and if you did what did you do

Thats a good tip. String wax solves lots of problems.

Swackers are the best!!!!!
quit watching as soon as I saw the BRCC shirt
Literally bad to the bone. Unbelievable performance.
is that shirt that coffee company who is anti-2nd amendment?
Seen he won't answer the question for you, I will: The answer is yes, and it's their (Black Rifle Coffee Company) 70's style.
Yes. Hipster westie hunters love wearing BRCC. The new soyboys.
How are they anti-2nd amendment?
@@Niko_410They have received money from anti 2a and pro liberal radical agendas
Anything to do with the rainbow colors🤔
All mechanicals suck
I can resharpen & reuse fixed blades
Mechanicals work great when the shot placement is perfect and the animal does not move.
Perfect conditions (that do not exist all the time)
