To trust a Beast broadhead?

[Pafarm]

I just can’t support people with their type of ethics. I don’t care how good that broad head is I will never buy them, as proceeds go to supporting poachers. I have been using G5 Megameats the past few years on all types of animals and have had zero issues. They also leave huge hole and great blood trails. I have friends who use sevrs and Absolutley love them. Personally beasts will never be in my quiver or home.

So I bought 2 paks of the beast deep 6 2.3" and 2 paks of the titanium 100 grain 2" cut. And my other buddie has been using there 2.3" of model. We killed elk,moose,black bears ,mule deer wt deer and he took a bison with them zero issues its all shot placement but these have been fantastic for me out to 100-105 yards.over the past the 2.3 had a weaker spring but that has been fixed they have definitely gotten better with time as they work out any bugs/flaws

Nope, plenty of other options

Another solid option if the g5 t2 or sevr 1.5-2.0 hybrid broad heads check the blade sharpness as iv found sevr to be hit or miss out of the pak. G5 stuff has been scary sharp out of the pak. The grim reaper pro series stuff has been great and my other buddies are testing the evelution hyde out this year they seem to be extremely durable.

I think a hybrid gives the best of all possible outcomes for people with at least average setups. That said I would shoot a bowmar without hesitation as it seem the design as it encounters large bone closes up and redeploys in soft tissue so increased penetration and big cuts. I have enough broadheads but like experimenting one day I might give them a shot.

If you’ve got the horsepower, I’d get some grim reaper pro series 1 3/8s mechanicals or fatal steel 1 1/4s. They’ve probably killed 100x the amount of animals as beasts, still 100% made in America, still an independent company, and they just flat out work.

I don't understand the love for Sevr heads. To me it's flawd, and I've been on a couple blood trails from them and I wasn't impressed. Give me a head just like it where the blades lock out when they impact, no folding, or swivling, I want it to smash though whatever I hit. My undersand the Beast is the same so as good as it looks, with that same technology, I'll pass

I don't have much for scientific reasoning to say anything with certainty, I had them in my quiver last season and wont do it again, I shot a bull at last light perfectly broadside. Didn't 100% see the hit but felt like it was in the cavity and it sounded like it didn't hit shoulder. Waited an hour and started trailing and no passthrough and trail was terrible. Eventually found a spot where the elk stopped and coughed up a piece of lung then trail went dry 50 yards later. Searched that night and most of the next day and never continued the trail(super thick area). I'm assuming i only got one lung, but i also ended up shooting a spike a few days later double lung that i did recover and i never even found a spec of blood for that elk. That hit was a high but not to too high like maybe 2-3 inches above centerline. Arrow stuck in opposite side ribs and had a pencil sized entry. I wont shoot beast again just because its stuck in my head that without a pass through which isn't always a given on elk you wont have a trail to follow. I'm back on the iron will bandwagon this year.

I agree on the distaste with the SEVR. I killed about 15 critters with them. They didn’t impress me at all. Had the worst and most unexplainable deflection in my entire bow hunting career with them. The blade pivoting is the only thing that makes sense to me as to why it happened.

The beast has a different technology. The blades don’t lock and pivot like the SEVR. The blades will “bend” out of the way of bones, independent of each other. SEVRs pivot in the middle of the head, with blades locked together.

I think the love for SEVR is largely driven by a few things: 1.) SEVR is under Easton’s umbrella. Everyone getting a check or free stuff from Easton has to sing the praises. 2) They perform well on Lusk’s tests, so that has to mean they’ll perform well on game (tongue in cheek). 3.) Guys that live out west don’t kill that much stuff with their bows, so they don’t get to see the numbers of animals die that it takes to notice trends in broadheads. No fault of the guys out west, you just don’t get the amount of tags as guys do that hunt states overrun with whitetails and hogs.

For a mech, I just don’t think you can beat grim reapers. They flat out work, are reasonably priced, sharp out of the pack, 100% made here, and haven’t sold out to private equity.

I will also mention, I've only killed one whitetail deer with Sevr and it was a perfect broadside / maybe the slightest quartering away shot and it hit 4 inches behind shoulder and that broadhead came out the center of the deers chest. I never gave it much thought because I was an iron will guy then just ran out of my 3 pack that year(because i shot through deer and they got stuck in trees behind them that season) and a buddy had sevrs 2.0 sitting around , but since elk shape had that failure last season I've heard so many people who have experienced the same wild deflections with them.
