New Arrow help!

Postby AlexG » 01 31, 2015 •  [Post 1]

I'm looking at changing my arrow setup this year, and want to know what people think of the new Victory RIP arrows, Victory Vaps, as well as the gold tip kinetics. Thanks in advance!

Not sure about the others but I used the VAPs last season and they did their job well. Pass through on a mature bull at 42 yrds. In 2013 my partner shot a raghorn quartering away and we never did find his arrow. I like the increased FOC and reading various reviews they out penetrate ( even if only by an inch) all other arrows. Downside is that they are pricey..
Get out earlier, go farther, stay longer..KEEP HAMMERING

I used VAPs 2 years ago. Pass through and never found my arrow on a 73yd shot at a mule deer. Many pass throughs on whitetails. Definitely an accurate and deep penetrating arrow. Mine were 480g using the >80g stainless insert.

Bad side was durability. I broke a lot. Other people seem not to have this problem, but I was breaking shafts shooting targets and 3D, leaving me with mixed feelings.
