Been shooting Sevr's for the past couple years and I have enjoyed 100% recovery. Your head design is very interesting and I may pick up a pack just to try them. Really enjoyed your dad's surgical perspective on shot placement. Great video.
I really appreciate the feedback and your time spent watching my videos! I am sure you will enjoy them and be sure to let me know what your experience is!
Great video. Having just watched the video with Dr. Houck, I can say I really appreciate the direction you guys are taking with your brand and marketing. I have shot the 175 gr. with my compound, and they fly and penetrate amazingly, but now I shoot trad, so I don't have the same momentum that I did with the compound. I know it would probably be a pain, but it would be awesome if you had a 200 or 250 grain head with a slightly longer ferrule and more shallow blade angle as well. I think that would really work well for trad and lower poundage compound shooters alike. Either way...I love the product. Thanks!
We appreciate the comment and the time spent watching out videos, Jon! We have looked into making heavier heads in the past, and I will be sure to bring it up with the team based on your comment! Leigh
the most common reason given, for choosing fixed over mechs, is that they are more dependable in the event of a poorly placed shot. and sure, that's true. but also what i think that leads to, is fixed shooters worrying, and even caring, less, about even making the best shot possible. because they think, 'well, my head can blast through that shoulder anyway'. you read it in the comments all the time, and even on vids, bragging about fixed heads and how they blast them right through deer shoulders. and yes, a poor shot sometimes can't be controlled, if an animal jumps the string, etc. but even then, alot of the times, the hunter is actually putting the deer on edge, by grunting him, etc. they aren't shooting at a relaxed animal. i don't think the way to choose what you will use, should be based on the idea of NOT making an ideal shot. if more hunters would pass on poor shot presentations, that would drastically lower the % of lost or wounded deer. and, i always see guys going straight to blaming a broadhead for losing a deer, when in reality, they took a low % shot. indians used to kill deer with a chipped stone on the end of a stick, with extremely low poundage bows. it's beyond ridiculous to blame the highly advanced choices that we are fortunate to have today. are fixed stronger, more durable, etc, etc? hell ya, they are. on a high % shot, double-lung/heart, are they more likely to kill than a mech? hell no. literally any head out there is more than capable. poor shots, lack of practice, and many more shooter errors, are the biggest reasons for lost/wounded deer. but that will never change. and many will never shoot a fixed, even though it will make up for many mistakes, because alot of those types of shooters, aren't going to take the time to tune a bow, etc, etc.
You make a good point! As bowhunters, we need to be ethical both in the gear we choose to use AND the decisions we make in field! We owe these animals everything to take them with respect and efficiency! Thanks for watching and thank you for the comment!
Hate seeing broadhead companies come out each year with the newest and best designed head. If they're coming out with better each year it means the previous model wasn't so hot and they had to make improvements. When you make a great head it stays the same for years because it is the best.
it's the same with everything. companies are changing a bow every damn year. apparently 'improving something' here and there. what that is really admitting, is that they didn't quite make last year's model as good as they could have. but it's us, the consumers, that really drive that. everyone seems to feel they need the 'latest, greatest' all the time. hell, a person is just getting used to their new bow, and then they go and buy the new model that gets released. i'm still shooting an AR34, and my bow before that one, was my very first, a bear golden eagle. i still miss that bow, and wish i never gave it away. but i gave it to a friend, so he could get into archery. we wouldn't have $2000 bows and crossbows, and sights costing hundreds of dollars, and $2500 cell phones, etc, etc, if the people weren't so eager to part with their $$$ just to have the shiniest trinket.
I have used fixed blade heads for over 55 years except for a few shots on coyotes. Found a pack of Sevr 1.5 in a parking lot lol. Thought I’d try them on something ha ha.
A wider fixed theoretically is better than a smaller one? It, IMO, THE SINGLE most important part is where the head hits. We all know a double lung hit is what we are after. Besides, fixed blade heads just don’t fail mechanically .
Penetration and accuracy are the keys! In theory, yes the wider cut is better. But the question then becomes, does the extra 3/16" in cutting diameter make up for the lesser penetration and potential for less accuracy? If you shoot a well tuned, high poundage bow, we typically suggest the XL because it covers all of the ground. But the 1" will fly better out of a poorly tuned bow, and if you hit your mark they will always die! Thanks for watching and for the reply!

Great info! Looking forward to testing and using your broadheads for an upcoming hunt!
We can’t wait to see pictures of what you should!
I would love to see a true COC two blade from you guys for us traditional shooters.
Stay tuned!

IF your shot placement is right a practice point double lung will kill deer
I use a bloodline 480 at 355 gr arrow with fixed 29 in. Arrow length at 50 pound on my 2012 legion bear. Only 27 in draw.
100% true!
Like the first ram cat
Thanks for watching!
I'll never shoot mechanical, to many failures to expand.
