SEVR – Titanium 1.5 // Rated Best Overall Broadhead For Elk 2023 —

In the exciting world of bowhunting, it’s hard not to get caught up in today’s racy compound rigs, fancy-to-do sights, toothpick-thin hunting arrows, and fall-away arrow rests that all but tune themselves. However, don’t forget about the broadhead you plan to thread into your arrow’s insert—especially if you’re hunting muscular, big-boned creatures like elk.

The attached-to-the-arrow broadhead is what cuts through the air and impacts the animal. The design—whether it’s a mechanical, fixed-blade, or a popular modern-day hybrid—will directly affect its performance. If the ferrule is weak, arrow penetration will be halted and energy lost. And whether the head sports two, three, or four blades, those blades must be surgical sharp. If they are dull and brittle, more energy and penetration are lost.

The ultimate goal for any bowhunter, especially when hunting a big animal like an elk, is maximum penetration. The more penetration, the more damage the broadhead blades can do as they track behind the carbon shaft. Penetration matters—two lungs are always better than one—and the back of the liver and out behind the opposite shoulder is a better combo than just the liver. The more vital organs you take out, the more trauma and blood loss.

The fact is, some broadheads perform better than others. There is no need to get into the fixed vs. mechanical vs. hybrid debate. Yeah it’s a fun one to go ’round-and-’round with a buddy on, but it won’t help anyone make an informed buying decision. I’ve killed elk with all three styles of heads. All will get the job done if you’re shooting the right broadhead in its respective category—durable, sharp, and accurate. Yes, I have my favorites, and I opt for certain broadhead makes and models over others because of confidence. Confidence is everything in bowhunting, and my best broadheads for elk have proved lethal repeatedly.

How I Picked The Best Broadheads for Elk

Simple, I’ve shot a lot of broadheads. During my bowhunting tenure, I’ve conducted multiple broadhead tests. Each of the broadheads mentioned in this article has been used in the field while hunting elk, and they’ve all been tested thoroughly on the range.

Best Overall: SEVR Titanium 1.5 Mechanical

Specs

  • 1.5-inch cutting diamater
  • 100- and 125-grain head options
  • Ideal for low-poundage shooters
  • Maximum penetration

Pros

  • Lock-and-Pivot Blades pivot around bone as needed
  • Practice Lock means you can practice with the same head you plan to hunt with
  • Stretch Cut creates massive wound channels
  • Titanium Ferrule promises durability

Cons

  • $15.99 per head
  • Direct-to-consumer only

SEVR Nation is growing, and it’s not because the broadhead looks like a little missile attached to carbon. The popularity of these heads comes from their field-point-like accuracy and massive cut trauma—the swept-back blade cutting angle smashes organs and works in concert with the Lock-and-Pivot design to ensure maximum penetration. I love the second hole in the titanium ferrule that allows for a small (comes with each head) set screw that holds the blades in place and allows the bowhunter to practice with the same broadhead they plan to take afield.

And aside from the fact that I’ve killed my last three elk with this broadhead from distances of 18, 31, and 62 yards at many different angles—the 62-yard shot was severely quartering away—these SEVR Titanium broadheads heed the rugged, accurate, and sharp call. The broadhead stays whisper quiet in flight, and while some will chastise me for awarding a mechanical design as the “Best Overall,” it’s my duty to do so.
