Mechanical Broadhead Review
SEVR Titanium 2.0 Review
SEVR's best-selling head — the wide-cut deer and turkey choice with field-point flight and StretchCut blood.
How it scored
Scored on our fixed 5-part system — built from the consensus of field reports, video tests and hunter feedback. Each axis is an independent 0–10 score. How we score ↗
What we liked
- Excellent field-point flight
- 2-inch StretchCut wound with dramatic best-case trails
- Grade-5 titanium one-piece ferrule
- Practice-Lock lets you sight in your hunting head
- Crossbow-friendly and SEVR's top seller
Where it falls short
- Most documented failure reports in the line — bent blades on bone
- Reports of a blade folding into the ferrule and outright non-deployment
- Blood sometimes starts strong then peters out
Flight & accuracy
The 2.0 keeps SEVR's flight pedigree. It groups with field points for tuned shooters, and the Practice-Lock screw again lets you sight in with your real hunting head rather than a stand-in tip. For crossbow shooters in particular it is a popular, easy-tuning choice.
It is a touch larger than the 1.5, so very long-range groups open up slightly, but inside normal hunting distances accuracy is not a concern.
Penetration
The wider 2-inch cut costs the 2.0 some of the 1.5's standout penetration. On deer-sized soft tissue with adequate energy it passes through cleanly, but it leans harder on kinetic energy and is less forgiving on the offside shoulder than its narrower sibling.
This is exactly why the line splits the way it does: hunters reach for the 2.0 on deer and turkey where more cut helps, and the 1.5 on elk where penetration matters most. Keep the 2.0 at or above the ~50 ft-lb deer threshold and place shots broadside.
Durability & edge retention
The Grade-5 titanium one-piece ferrule is tough and the head is generally durable, but the 2.0 carries the most documented failure reports in the SEVR family. Bent blades on bone show up, and there are pointed reports of a blade folding back into the ferrule and even outright non-deployment.
These are not universal, and SEVR's overall record is good, but the 2.0 is the head where the line's failure modes appear most often. Inspect blades after every shot and avoid heavy-bone angles.
Blood trail
Best-case, the 2.0's StretchCut blades and 2-inch diameter produce dramatic, painted blood trails — this is the SEVR you pick when blood is the priority. On a clean double-lung pass it ends recoveries quickly and obviously.
The recurring caveat is consistency: hunters report trails that start strong then peter out, particularly on single-hole hits or when a blade does not fully cooperate. The ceiling is high, but the floor is more variable than the penetration-first 1.5.
Value & who it's for
At around $50 for three it is priced with the premium mechanicals and is SEVR's top seller for good reason — flight, a big cut, the Practice-Lock convenience, and a tough ferrule. The value is solid even accounting for the failure reports.
It is the right pick for whitetail and turkey hunters, and crossbow shooters, who want a wide cut and big blood and are running adequate energy on broadside shots. Elk and big-game hunters, or anyone who wants the most reliable SEVR, should choose the 1.5.

FAQ
Should I choose the SEVR Titanium 2.0 or the 1.5?
Pick the 2.0 for deer and turkey, where the wider 2-inch cut and StretchCut blades maximize blood. Pick the 1.5 for elk and large game, where its narrower cut delivers markedly better penetration. The 2.0 is the better blood-trail head; the 1.5 is the better penetration-and-reliability head.
Does the SEVR Titanium 2.0 have deployment problems?
The 2.0 carries the most documented failure reports in the SEVR line, including bent blades on bone, a blade folding into the ferrule, and occasional non-deployment. They are not universal and the overall record is good, but you should shoot adequate energy, keep shots broadside, and inspect blades after every shot.
Is the SEVR Titanium 2.0 good for crossbows?
Yes — it is crossbow-friendly and a top seller among crossbow hunters thanks to its easy tuning and field-point flight. Fast crossbows supply ample energy for the 2-inch cut. Keep shots broadside on deer or turkey, and the StretchCut wound produces dramatic blood trails.
