Great review! Was super stoked to hear about these enhancements!
Thank you. I really appreciate them working hard to improve their stuff. I really like the look and feel of that Robusto too. I normally shoot 125 gr heads, and adding that extra 25 grains doesn't affect the flight until I get past 40 yds.
I'm on a Facebook group of archers , and I keep seeing people ask what broadheads should they use. Well today I mentioned your TH-cam channel, hopefully that will send you alot more subscribers because your channel is awesome. Thanks for being you and all your great work.
Awesome, thank you! I really appreciate it. I do hope these vids can help us all to choose the best head for our own individual hunting purposes. We owe it to the animals to use the best we an afford.
Awesome review as always John! I saw that these were just released today.
Thank you Tony.
I really enjoyed this review and all of the great information you provided. I’ve been on the fence recently about buying Rage Hypodermic NC +P’s or Sevr 2.0’s but you helped me make up my mind.
Both can get the job done...but when it comes to durability, there's not comparison.
Great review!! I'll be hunting with these broadheads this year! It's all about Accuracy, Penetration, Blood Trail, and Durability!
Good choice Scott. Great heads for sure. Remember you can save some extra money using my Discount Code...and can use it on top of their website discounts.
Another great test. Thanks for what you do.
Thanks David. Much appreciated, brother.
I’ve changed to the Sevr 2.1 last yr and got a great pass through on a buck. 17yd shot, most blood loss I’ve ever seen he went 15yds and dropped! I am shooting 29/70 435g arrow. I’ll have to try some of the 2.0 this year or just buy the blades I love that. Sevr is a great company, I also got one of the targets. Great deal on those I got the blemish for 99$ that’s a lot of target for that price and wow it’s tough!
That's good to hear Matthew. Yeah, they are making some amazing stuff nowadays.
Awesome! Another great video. Thanks for sharing John.
Thank you Adam! Much appreciated brother.
Thanks!
LUSKFIVE applied! Ordered 2- 2.0 ti for whitetail and 2-1.5 ti for auodad. Was gonna buy some last year when they were running specials but they were just too new for me to try. Was on the website last week and this video pushed me over the edge. Rage will be taking a backseat in the quiver this year. Thanks john!
Good deal. I'd love to hear how they work out for you. Good luck, brother!
I shot a nice buck with my Tenpoint Nitro XRT crossbow using the SEVR 2.1 this past season and the broadhead worked great. I made a bad shot and hit bone in the front shoulder, but the deer ran only 50 yards and dropped. The tip of the ferrule bent and I did not get a complete pass through, as expect with hitting a large bone, but IMO , because the blades lock on this broadhead it saved me.
I bent the tip on another one from the broadhead making contact with something in the ground... I’m not a big fan of the titanium ferrule.
This season I’ll be switching over to the SEVR Robusto 2.0 ( stainless steel ferrule) for my crossbow.
To me, one of the biggest advantages of this broadhead is , the blades lock into place when deployed and you can lock the blades closed to practice with the broadhead. They are very accurate and I really like them a lot.
I really love watching your reviews. Thanks for your time and information.
Those are all great points. And thanks for sharing your experience. Yeah, that Robusto is pretty wicked looking!
Just ordered some to try out. Thanks!
Good choice. Let me know what you think.
Just ordered the 2.0’s. I was torn between the 1.5s and 2.0’s. I like the larger cut but the 1.5’s are so tough. They both should perform well. Thanks for the videos. They are helpful in choosing a broadhead.
Good choice. Hope the work well for you. And thank you for the encouragement.
Me too, I ended up getting the 2.0s at 125g!
As mechanicals go this is one of the best. If I had to use a mechanical it'd be one of these or the Montec Deadmeat. But I'm a fixed head guy TBH. Always enjoy your tests though John. Not just the accuracy of information but the enthusiasm too.
Thank you Feral Grandad :) Love that name too.
Sevr really has a great line up now, never shot them with a vertical bow, but shot my first deer with the 2.1 out of a crossbow, took it down within 25 yards
Man, that new Robusto is going to be fantastic for crossbows.
Been using the SEVR Robusto 150 grain for 2 years, nothing better out there. Prove me wrong,good luck.
Yep--fantastic heads.
Very impressive! I'll take bent blades over broke off blades. I was on the fence with the originals due to some negative reviews but these seem to be better.
Yeah, these are certainly better than the 2.1.I'd have no problem using them for whitetails. However, I'm still a bigger fan of the 1.5s, personally.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures This was something I wondered. I am looking to buy the Sevr this year. I felt like you would go with the 1.5 based on your comments before. The 1.5" cut with the superior penetration seems to be the ideal combination for whitetail.
Hey John love your vide. I have a couple heads that I think you should look into. They look interesting and deadly.
G5 Megameat
NAP hellrazor (ik they are farely old)
G5 montec m3
Thanks brother. I'd like to test all of those. If I can get someone to donate them, I will. I was losing too much money when I was buying all of the vids myself. Sometimes I still buy heads, but mostly they are donated--sometimes by the manufacturers and sometimes by viewers.
Your broadhead reviews are the best . Question will the seven 1.5 do fine out of crossbow.s?
I always worry about them opening when shot ??
Or go with the robusto
Thanks James. All of their heads have the same retention system; the Robusto is just all steel and thus 150 grains. With the speed of a crossbow, the larger cut should be no problem in penetration. But any of their heads will work fine out of a crossbow.
John great channel ! Subscribed ! I am shooting a 75lb bow with 30 ' draw. In this scenario do you think the 2.0 may stand out over the 1.5 as penetration will likely be good? Secondly why does the 1.7 not get any love? It seems that it should combine the best of both worlds I just wish they had the same cutting tip
Thank you. I really appreciate it. Man, with your set up, I'd definitely go with the 2.0 or even the Robusto, cause it's even more durable. And that extra weight only works for you. The 1.7 is a great head. It only comes in 100 gr, and I prefer 125. But it's tested very well for me and is less expensive due to the aluminum instead of titanium. I like the 1.5 in 125 grs cause the ferrule is extra thick and thus stronger.
Test the thorn Rift 2.2, it has held up better than the Sevr in the durability test we tested both with, also the thorn was more accurate, and had a lot better penetration!
I gotta get these new Sevr heads to test!
Great review man!!
Thank you. I really like the Thorns...but not the penetration. That grip tip is just problematic for penetration. But the durability and flight are outstanding.
Lusk Archery Adventures that’s the beauty of archery! For us in our bow setups the thorns out penetrated the sevrs in our ballistic gel test, that’s what makes testing all these heads so fun!
Love the channel been a subscriber for awhile!!
Hi great video. It sounds like this is a very durable head. I see that you really like the 1.5 head. Does Sevr make a three or four blade head? If they do make one that you could close down the blades for practice and it’s as tough as the 1.5 I’d be all over it. I’m not saying that two blades don’t work if they do I’m just not a fan and would rather a three of four
Yeah, they only make 2 blade heads at this point. For mechs, I actually prefer 2 blade heads, provided the leading tip is also at least 1/2" of cut as well. You get better penetration with a 2 blade mech due to less resistance as it passes thru the animal and the wider the cut is, the better the blood trail.
Good review!!!! Have you done a review on the B3 exoskeleton 3 blade? If not are you planning too? I saw the Meg you reviewed but I'm wanting an in depth review on the standard 3 blade
I've only tested the B3 Destrukt and the Meg. If I can get the standard 3 blade heads, I'd be willing to test them.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures thank you so much these heads looks like awesome performers even the two blade because the blades are on different planes should leave a big hole just unsure of the entrance holes
Hey John thanks for the great reviews do you happen to know if the Serv can be shot out of a crossbow 375 fps I've ordered some 1.5 I am going to use with my compound bow thought about trying them with my crossbow also thanks for any info
Absolutely; all of them are crossbow approved.
I too was impressed when I bought them to do the sharpening video for that head.
Yeah, they are very high quality. Thanks for watching.
Good to hear
Hey John awesome video. Was just wondering, it looked like the 2.0 actually Penetrated 8.5ish. Maybe it's a weird angle but looking at the length of the heads and comparing the o ring cut outs on both, it looks like it was way past 7.75
I thought that too.
Yeah, it did look that way on the vid, but it was the camera angle with that gel. It was clear when I stood over it and measured it with the tape.
Looks like those heads are about 3 inches long. Adding that much length to your adding that much length to the arrow it seems like that would affect the spine of the arrow somewhat. Second would being more of a swept back reduce the overall cutting diameter. And last would having one blade open and the other possibly shut while passing through an animal not cause the arrow to deflect some by possibly having only one blade deployed. Just some questions that come to mind.
dheller777 the cutting diameter is with the blades fully deployed. Pretty much impossible for only 1 blade to deploy.
Good questions. Re spine, there is zero practical impact from that. I used to think the same, but I've even shot much longer mechs that do fine. The cutting diameter is a full 2.0", whereas the original was 2.1, so it is a bit smaller...but the angle is steeper. These will not deflect on a bone if one blade hits it--that's one of its major strengths. If one blade hits a big bone, it will swing away without deflecting. The other blade hitting tissue will not cause deflection, as it just cuts through it. And once it passes the bone, the other blade swings open immediately, due to the force on the other blade that was already open.
Hey John, What do you think of the SEVR 1.5" for elk? I'm shooting 260fps and 420-grain arrow. I have a short draw of 25". I shoot very well out to 80 yards(I would never shoot that distance on an elk). What do you think penetration would be with that setup. I've been using a fixed blade "cut on contact" broadhead and have shot a few bulls with it(ranging from 7-60 yards). However, I am interested in the SEVR's design and potential for better blood trails and quicker kills. Thank you for your input!
That's a good question, Barrett. You're still getting some good momentum with that set up. The Sevr 1.5 would do great on elk. I have them in my quiver on elk hunts. They are by far the most durable mech I've ever tested.
I burned up my last package of ulmer edge's last year...breaks my heart. These are almost identical but the "tabs" or wingtips seem to stick out further than they do on the ulmer edges and that bugs me, as it did on the ulmers but more so here. Why can't they tuck the wings in a little further? Thanks for the review, glad i found a replacement for the ulmers at least. And funny to see Randy endorsing the sevrs on their website.
Well, these are the Ulmer Edge, but improved. They got the design rights. Believe me, they have those wings as small as they possibly can to still allow the blades to lock open. But they still penetrate well and cut tissue well, so theyre not as big of a deal as people have been led to believe.
Yeah that’s something I don’t like the look of and has me skeptical of trying them
My biggest question with sevr is the rotation of the blade. I know it's purpose is to rotate around bone but I wonder if it also rotates around tougher vital organs such as the heart. Now I'm sure if it's up against a heart it will cut it but I wonder if the arrow is traveling right next to the heart and the one side comes in contact with the heart, will it rotate when it hits that tougher area such as the heart. I'm probably over thinking this. Lol
Yeah, I hear ya on that. But I think the resistance of tissue in general is uniform enough to keep both blades cutting, unless there is a really imbalanced medium, like bone. I've certainly had great results in hunting situations, with amazing blood trails.
Best flying head that I have ever shot, first shot on a deer it did not open fully. So bummed..
That's unfortunate. What happened with the head?
@@LuskArcheryAdventures it appeared to only open on one side. Awesome flying head though. Keep up the great vids!
I've been watching videos for the last couple days on these. I currently shoot Rage Hypodermic Trypans. Which size would you recommend for the SEVR the 1.5 or the 2.0? I shoot a Mathews no cam at 60lbs. Also, doesn't putting the set screw in for practice change the weight thus make it fly differently than if you were hunting? Thank you in advance.
Thanks Brian. The screw does not add any noticeable weight for practice--it's less than the weight of a drop of water on your arrow shaft or bit of dirt. I can use 100 or 125 gr heads and get the same point of impact out to 40 yds; certainly within my margin of error. I use both the 1.5 and 2.0 and have been very effective with both. If I'm going after really large animals--like huge Iowa bucks or elk or moose sized animals, then the 1.5 does add quite a bit more penetration. But for most whitetails...as well as hogs, turkeys, etc, the 2.0 is great.
Hi John. Great video, just subscribed. I’m moving to Iowa and trying to get my setup ready. I currently shoot 100gr exodus broadheads as mechanicals aren’t allowed here in Idaho but thinking of switching over after the move. I’m pulling 62lbs with a 27.5 inch draw shooting around 265fps. Would you recommend the sevr 1.5s over the 2.0 in my case?
That's cool Cale. I moved here from CO about 3 yrs ago. We have similar set ups. What's your arrow weight? I've used both models very successfully on deer...and they've both performed similarly. The holes are usually, but not always, bigger with the 2.0 and the penetration is usually better on the 1.5.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures that definitely makes sense John. I’m currently shooting a 440 grain arrow, but was considering increasing that and playing with my foc or even going with a 125gr broadhead to just bump it up a little
Great review John!
Would you still recommend the 1.5 over the newer 2.0 for the Ravin R20 crossbow which shoots 430fps?
I'd go with the Sevr Robusto for a crossbow...then the 2.0 after that.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures thank you!
Been shooting sevr for 2 yrs. Shooting the 1.5. Love them
How to you think the 2.0 will do shooting 60lbs. 29 draw.
They should do good as long as your shots are not too far
You certainly have a good draw length. Not sure of your arrow weight, but that makes a huge difference. Personally, I prefer the 1.5 for bigger animals, but would be fine using the 2.0 for whitetail. However, the 1.5 is still my "go to" mech.
I wouldn't use the 2.0. Not impressed with the penetration. I shoot a 565 grain setup at 70 pounds. I hit back on a buck that was liver and guts and the penetration sucked. I don't know how I didn't get a pass thru. I was able to recover the deer, blood trail was descent for one hole but I would stick with 1.5
@@Sickmadecustoms i ordered 1 of the 2.0. Going to test it on a deer hopefully. Thanks for the info
What is the entrance wound size on these heads? Do the blades fully open on initial contact? Or deeper in
Yes, they fully deploy on impact.
A good head for the nitro 505. It doesn’t matter how wide it is, it’s going through
:)
Can I use this broadhead in my Ravin crossbow.
Absolutely. Deadly combo.
Nice Video! The wings are so close to the tip That Quartering away shots Look like there going to have a real problem with deflection.................... Your thoughts !
I can see why you'd think that. I wondered that as well, so I tested them on a 30 degree shot on plywood. They stuck perfectly.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures Awesome Thanks for the reply ! Good Luck this year !
@@LuskArcheryAdventures A couple weeks ago I shot a mature whitetail on a quartering away angle and it went though perfectly to the opposite shoulder. No problem at all with deflection.
Would you recommend the 1.5s or the 2.0s for whitetail hunting? I shoot the SR6 at 70 pounds and want to be able to penetrate through shoulder if need be. I’m thinking the 1.5s would be better to penetrate through bone but what is your opinion?
On large whitetails or hard quartering shots, I'd prefer the 1.5. But I've used both on whitetails and both have performed very well; we have similar set ups as well. The good thing about the 2.0 is that the blades swing if one hits heavy bone, so it will still penetrate well. And when it swings, the cut is slightly smaller at that point, so starting with 2" keeps that cut fairly high as well.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures sounds good, thanks for the response!!
I don't like how the deployment blades block some of the actual cutting blades on sevr broadheads so for me personally I won't use them for that reason
Yeah, that's not my favorite either--but the scores speak for themselves. They penetrate well and are the toughest mechs on the market.
Which Would you choose for deer the 2.0 or 1.5? I'm shooting a 481gr arrow and 61lbs draw weight.
That's a great question. I don't know your draw length, and that makes a big difference. I'm pulling 72 lbs and a 460 gr arrow, but only 27" draw. The 2.0 would do very well, I'm sure. But I really like the 1.5 for bigger bucks here in Iowa and just in case I hit shoulder or have a hard quartering shot. I find the 1.5's got a big enough cut and it really helps the penetration and durability. But I know in most situations, the 2.0 would make a much nicer hole.
I'm shooting a 29inch draw length. but I decided to go with the 1.5 for the reasons you mentioned, And went with 125gr so my arrow will be 506gr with them. 1.5 cut is plenty!
Can you compare these to the grim reaper micro hades pro fixed 3 blade?
Well, the way I do the testing, you can compare the scores of any head against any other. I don’t do Broadhead Battles when the designs and cut size and deployment type all all so different. But the scores will show how they compare.
Do the wing tips not cause an issue in cutting since they stick out past the blade when deployed?
You would think so...but what happens when a projectile is moving at 280 fps is WAY different than what happens when you just push it thru a medium. The penetration tests I do bear witness to that. If the wings impeded penetration, then that would be shown...but these actually penetrate well. Would it cut better without those wing tips? I would think so, but it's part of the design and is the reason they are the most durable mech on the market today. Everything is a tradeoff...but these still do penetrate very well and are the most durable and one of the best flying mechs.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures if u had to choose 1 mechanical for anything from pig to elk. What this be it? If not which one?
I got the 2.0 Ti and 1.5 with a 70 pound bowtech solution which one would you rather hunt with for Whitetail?
I've used both with great success. It's really a toss up. The 1.5 will be better if you're needing extra penetration, but the 2.0 will be better if you hit a bit back and need to cut some extra tissue. Everything in broadheads is a tradeoff. Last year I used the 1.5 the most, but this year, I've used the 2.0 of the most. I've loved both.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures makes sense thanks
I have 8 bows and all bows except the solution are using fixed heads mostly kudu 150 grain
But the bowtech shoots perfect with 125 tip so I'll use it for mechanicals
what wins the Rage trypan 2" or the SEVR 2" ?
I really like the blade deployment of the Trypan, but the Sevr 2.0 is WAY more durable. And when I'm using a mech, durability is my greatest concern. So I'd say the Sevr hands down.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures Thanks!
Where are these heads made?
Taiwan, I believe. Not sure if you know this, but almost every broadhead that says they're made entirely in the USA are not--the vast majority use blades from Taiwan and China.
Why titanium over steel? Titanium is only stronger than steel of the same weight, and making it the same weight means making it larger and bulkier because it's less dense than steel. Seems that making a steel broadhead, tempering it properly and giving it good proportions is the way to go... and it would be cheaper to produce. BTW always enjoy these reviews, I do love seeing what broadheads are capable of even if I don't plan on using a particular one.
Yep, steel in general is definitely stronger. They do have the Robusto that is all steel, but weighs 150 gr. I was skeptical of the titanium when I first tested them...until I shot the Sevr 1.5 into a cinder block 3 times without it breaking or bending much; only the tip got somewhat blunted. Most steel heads have not faired nearly that well.
What size would you go with for moose and caribou?
The 1.5s are awsome for bigger game because of the penatration you get with them. I swear by the 1.5s. Elk, mule deer, pigs, it dont matter. That 1.5 is damn nasty.
I'd go with the 1.5. I use them for elk and big bodied animals like that. Just had a buddy zip one thru a huge caribou at 70 yards in Alaska last week.
Would you recommend these for elk? Thx.
I prefer the 1.5 for elk, cause they have plenty of cut and are much more durable and penetrate more deeply. But these definitely could work with enough momentum.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures Thanks!
Ok just ordered some of these for my wife’s crossbow maybe mine too.
:)
With your testing could you recommend with a 50 lb max draw?
I would not recommend these for a 50 lb bow, unless the draw length was over 30" and the arrows were over 500 gr. Otherwise, I'd go with a fixed blade head like the Exodus.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures ya I’m 28.5 so fixed blades it is
How is the SevR 2.0 on angle shots?
Very good--no issues.
You should test the Kratos by flying arrow archery
Yeah, I would like to.
Lusk Archery Adventures I sent you a message on Facebook.
Can the 2.0 blades be used in the 1.75 ferrule?
No they cannot. They can only be used within the 2.1 or 2.0 ferule, due to the blade length.
Thanks for reply.
Can i use the 2.0 with crossbow?
Yes for sure. The Robusto is the same exact head but adds a bit more weight and more durability being all steel, so that's why they market it for crossbows. But the 2.0 is the same head in a titanium ferrule model so it will work fine with a crossbow as well.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures Awsom!
I ordered 6 of the 2.0!😃
Not too sure on the pivotable blades.
That's part of their design intent, in order to keep from ricocheting off bone if one blade impacts it.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures If only one blade is extended, would that change the trajectory of the arrow? Serious question as they are one of the only company that offers deepsix broadheads.
Will they Deploy Early In a ( Shoot Thru Mesh ) Environment 🧐🤔🧐🤔🔪🇺🇸🔥💨
I wouldn't shoot them thru mesh--but you can test them yourself to see.
I would love to see it hit a brick I'm actually going to test it my self
Haha. Check out all my vids of the Sevr---I shot one of them into a cinder block 3 times and it was still going strong.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures great I did buy 10 each 100-125-150 gr
I really really really want to like expandable broadheads but they just can't compare with a fixed head ...but as always great video John
The only mech that does compare to a fixed is the Sevr 1.5. That head made it through the steel plate 5 times--more than many fixed blade heads. And I shot it into a cinder block 3 times, and could have done more.
These were terrible for me. Didn't get 5in of penetration. Lost me a deer
Yeah, this one is no longer made. They’ve improved the blade angles and also created smaller cutting models that penetrate much better. Sorry to hear about the deer.
I think I will still stick with fix blades.
Yeah, can't go wrong there. But I'll tell you, the Sevr 1.5 has proven more durable than the vast majority of fixed blades I've tested. It made it through the steel plate 5 times. They're my "go to" mech. But I do love fixed blades as well.
Lusk Archery Adventures looks like a great head for Turkey.
Tried these junk broadheads last year lost two nice 8 points using raven r 29 both deer 25 yards good hits never found any blood or arrows I will go back to truglo 4 blade by the way my brother had same issue out of his scorpyd hit a buck in the snow no blood caution don't buy
Well, you didn't try these because they just came out a month ago. The original Sevr had some penetration problems. That's why they made the 1.5, 1.7 and the new 2.0 These all penetrate much better. And they're the toughest mechs made.
Lol take the practice set screw out before you hunt
