Everything I have shot with them has dropped in sight and had a decent blood trail. I like being able to take a few shots with the exact BH I will be hunting with. Shot this elk with the 1.5 this year and he went 20 yards and fell over.

Here's a true story, bought striker factory reconditioned 380 from him must be 10 years now from crossbow Nation,deal, first shot at the Kearney range the limbs blew up, ran to Targetears, Rob personally came out and told me to contact wyvern. I did and he offered me full price shipping paid for or replacement I took the money. The boy I have now what's the latest at BowTech manufactured with the improvements with the half inch string longer included. 200 shots later still good only thing I had replaced was the serving, Pete le Mason (non-typical) “In a civilized and cultivated country, wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen.” -Theodore Roosevelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me the only problem with the 380”s were that they made and sold so many all manufactures have limb problems the ones that have the most are the ones selling the most plan and simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHbowhunter Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) I am like at least 12 for 12 with 2 1/4 “ 125 gr Swhackers. That’s a big-ass cut. However the are at the very limits for my setup for adequate penetration. I would definitely consider the 1 1/2” Sevr someday Edited December 23, 2022 by JHbowhunter Nothing spooks deer more than my stank… 16 3/4” Live Fluke Release Club I shot a big 10pt once….

thefirstndsecond Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I use the sevr 1.5 and just ordered the titanium 2.0 125's. I know the 1.5 fly great out of my bow. I also use grim reaper pro mico hades 3 blade and slick trick 4 blades. All fly great out of my bow.
