SEVR Hybrid holes..... Lets see them.

got any particular favorites for the reapers?

I've seen how the carnifours work on whitetails and it is absolutely devastating.

I’ve shot the 1 3/8” 3 blades for a long time. Killed a lot of stuff with them, and they just flat out work. If I had to pick one forever, that’d probably be it.

The fatal steel 1.5” 3 blade did well for about 10 critters. I went back to the 1 3/8” pro series because you get 4 for cheaper than 3 fatal steels.

I’m giving the mini mags (4 blade 1.25”) a go this year. Sample size of one so far, they left a blood trail Ray Charles could follow on the bull I killed last month.

I have buddies who have had excellent success with the evolution Hyde the last three years. 3 bulls and a cow all dead within 40 yards and all but one complete pass through. 2 broadside double lung one hard quarter to and one quartering away. I shoot sevrs at deer but have had such great luck with iron wills that I won't shoot anything else at an elk even though it's hard to argue the results of the evolutions. Here is sevr holes, 1.5" no hybrid on deer(left entrance on whitetail, only 6" penetration and left entrance on mule deer, full pass thru) and one pic of evolution on a cow(quartering away)

Well shot a Florida deer witb the 1.75" sevr Hrbrids tonight and I honestly not sure what happened. I can't tell you what happen during the shot because I was so focused on executing a well made shot on this deer but this is how it went.

I had two deer come out at 79 yards. I grabbed my binos, watched them for about five minutes, and never saw a single sign of a button buck. Both looked to be two 2.5-year-old Florida does. The lead “doe” got to 30 yards broadside, maybe slightly quartering to me.

I shot, and the deer dropped in its tracks. It spun in a circle three times and didn’t move. I thought, “Cool, it expired fast.” I nocked another arrow, and what do you know, the button buck got up, ran 20 yards paralleling me, then stopped behind a pine tree at 21 yards. Now I couldn’t see the deer, and it wasn’t moving, so I sat back down. Then it rolled another two yards into some gallberries. I got up, found a hole in the brush, and finished him. From the time of the first shot to when he finally expired was about five minutes.

The first arrow was a Sevr Hybrid 1.75; the second was a G5 Deadmeat, which dispatched him quickly.
The sevr hit the shoulder, blew through that then came out the center of the neck. First picture is th entrance with the hide and just under the hide (not 1.75") and the second picture is the exit, about the size of my pinky. The other pictures is how I found the head laying and some of the hide/meat clogging uo the head that lead to the broadheads not fully deploying.

I like the idea of a hybrid head. A friend used the Sevr Hybrid this year on a bull and it worked well for him.

I've been using evolution hydes for the last couple of years and they work extremely well with excellent penetration and flight. Shooting 73lbs, 27.6" draw and a 440gr arrow. Blew through a mature bull last year, shot was slightly forward and it went though his heart and exited through his leg, head looked new still. This year I killed a nice bull and buck with them. Another mature bull, he was bedded and I was above him, the arrow got full penetration and hit the offside but no exit. Worked great on the deer, penetration was excellent.

The two elk shots were longer shots, the deer was super close. I can't say enough good stuff about these heads. Super durable, fly excellently and cut big holes, I don't think I will be switching head for a while. I've also had good luck with the dead meat and typan on elk, the only reason I moved from the dead meat was because I wanted a glue in head for my 4mm's. I would also recommend the dead meat to anyone; they are a phenomenal head and very durable when shooting animals. The trypans are also great heads, very durable but I didn't like the collar system when hunting thick brush, I think the NC versions would be a great head or even the new T2.

Personally I will never go back to a fixed head, I've had much better experiences with mechanical heads and have been hunting with them less time. I really like how forgiving they are in flight, how fast the animals die and how they don't go far after the shot. I've killed quite a few animals with both and tracking jobs were alwasy stressful when I was shooting fixed heads. I'm also color blind so the extra blood on the ground really helps.

Ti Hybrid 1.5 was dissappointing on a medium sized bull elk last week. Entrance looked good - 2" slash in the crease, no shoulder contact. Exit was much smaller. Must have center punched a rib. It appeared that the expandables broke and only the smaller bleeders made it thru. 30 yd shot. Full penetration, double lung, but did not fully pass thru. Blood trail was not very good. Bull ran 250 yds and bedded in some thick cover. Found half the arrow with blood to the fletching. The spot where he died was steep and thick. Couldn't examine the wound very well. We were really happy to find him after a sleepless night, but will probably reserve that head for smaller game in the future.

What fixed BH are you going to go back to?

This was a little forward but cut the top of the heart. Just a IN whitetail but they fly great out of my setup.

Kinda hard to know what to make of deer vs elk...would like to hear more Elk experiences with the SEVR hybrid

I was unimpressed with penetration.

It's a mech with a crappy tip....

I've killed a muley and a sheep with the 1.5(not hybrid). Pass through on the sheep but not the buck.

I wish they would put on a 1/4" to 3/8" cut on contact tip, similar to the Evolution Hyde broadheads, but smaller.

I think the 1.5 is best mech for penetration, they fly good, and I like the practice mode.

The perfect mech.... 1.5 sevr with an IW tip...
