SEVR’s Titanium 1.5 mechanical broadhead is growing in popularity thanks to a nearly field point level of accuracy. 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.
