Victory VXT arrow shooting review 2nd week after comp

- The Victory VXT arrow is the top of the line target arrrow from Victory Archery. The shaft tapers back, so the front is heavier than the back and the front is stiffer to allow the arrow to straighten faster.
We shoot the VXT at 50m and compare the the Victory VAP.

I love these. I shoot them barebow recurve for longer distances. Got my Master Bowman classification with these this year (ArcheryGB) shooting out to 100 yards.
Think my Maxima RZ Recurve Pros are as good up to 50m but further out these are by far the best.
The durability is top notch too, I shot under the target on a 100y sighter and hit the iron rebar peg behind the boss - actually gouged a lump out of the peg. Replaced the pile, arrow was good as new.
10/10 for long distance.
Sounds like you might have found a good combo Steve,well done.
Hmm something to ponder ...... thx again great review
Great review! Liked and Subscribed.
Steve.
I currently shoot Easton Platinums..
My club have an all carbon arrow ban as we shoot at a school and the school insist on zero lost arrows at the end of the session. The day they find an arrow is the same day we loose the place.
Is there an alternative to Easton Alu/carbon composite arrows?
They are communists.All communists are enemies of humanity.
Gold Tip shirt, you need to trade up
No Victory TShirts.
Archery Supplies fair enough
I’m going to visit them in Feb 2020, I might hit them up for some
@@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale We have some super comfortable Victory shirts we just made and put up on the website. We will have to send you one with your next order!
Did you get the high tolerance straightness version?
Any idea when you will review the 35" EVO NXT with the SE cams? Been waiting since you did the other three NXT bows. Awesome reviews every time.
next
@@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale Thank you, I really liked the Evoke 35 with the SE cams. I probably will purchase the NXT 35.
@@RLAWLESS Its a very different bow. Worth test shooting.
I am looking for a good set of carbon arrows for my compound bow. For both indoor and outdoor. Budged of 200 for 12. But I have no idea what to choose because there is so many to choose from.
And before you think I'm about to be rude and go after you for thinking I was rude and whatnot, I am doing this because I genuinely like to give people advice on stuff.
I'm about to try and condense my 10-11 years of shooting and testing into a very informative and hopefully useful guide because I like to think I know a thing or two about these "cross over arrows". It may get overwhelming, just ask me to clarify.
I'm gonna assume you are using Aussie dollar, US dollar will give us possibly more options.
A very good cross over arrow that is also affordable would be the Victory V-Force or R.I.P. They are right between the micro shafts and the World Archery legal 23 diameter shafts. If you don't like Victory you can have a look at Goldtip's equivalent arrows which are the Velocity/Ultralight and Kinetic shafts. Note: Force/Ultralight is a 20 diameter shaft and the RIP/Kinetic is an 18 diameter shaft.
I'll just focus the Victory shafts are they are slightly cheaper then Goldtip and offer basically the same effectiveness, I'll touch on the company differences at the end (maybe).
So the benefits of the Victory options is their grading (sport, gamer and elite, in fact, Goldtip also have this grading but the price gaps seem to be more extreme sometimes). You can build a VERY cost-effective arrow by buying a cheaper (the sport grade for instance) arrow and cutting it down. In nearly all cases if you cut an arrow down it makes it straighter. Victory have normal bullet points and they are cost-effective and same for the pins.
Question: Do you know your arrow length? How experienced are you? I can give you a much better idea of what arrow grade is gonna suit you better by factoring in these variables.
So V-Force or RIP?
RIP at the same spine as a V-Force should (someone may correct me here) have a thicker wall which of course makes a stronger arrow and if we are talking a limited budget we may need to consider the durability, not saying the V-force is fragile though. Personally, I think the V-Force would be a go because the 1/32 of an inch diameter difference won't make that much of a difference on a windy day but it will cost you the occasional point indoors.
Now, Victory vs GT.
The difference is in the details. I really like Victory and I really like GT, I have used their Velocity, Ultralight, Kinetic and Pierce arrows. I find the GT components to be more durable. I do find the pin system on Victory's to be a little bit undersized but I don't think Steven has had an issue so it could be me being a bit picky. The GT pins were always good though. Like anything quality often has a price and that is why GT stuff is more pricey.
GT has their FACT system to allow you to change point weights without using a break-off point, its a good system but its expensive when compared to the simple points of Victory.
So basically:
- Pick the 20 diameter shaft of Victory or Goldtip.
- Do not necessarily choose the Elite/Pro grade because we can achieve similar straightness by reducing arrow length. Of course, we want to cut to a safe length. And if you were thinking about buying from Archery Supplies hopefully Steven doesn't mind me advertising bottom grade shafts.
- Choose the 120 grain point option. If I start writing about point weights we will be here all-day.
- Vanes I recommend anything in the 2inch region, right now I am really liking the Bohning Air vane.
Hopefully, that was useful, or at the very least eye-opening :)
Note: I forgot to talk about general arrow weight... If you are interested in that I can touch on it
@@liamboyle9199 thanks alot for your indepth explanation. I was indeed looking at victory. People at my club use them alot. Atm was thinking between the vaps or the 3dhv but i keep my options open. I have 2.5 years experience. Atm I shoot a 50 pound compound bow with cheap ali express arrows and I shoot 285/300. Therefore i wanna upgrade arrows to reach my max potential.
I would like to know the difference between the target sport, elite and gamer from the vaps.
My draw lenght is 29.5 and my current arrows are 30 inch. My bow is 50 pound. Ibo speed is unknown ( kinetic trium x ).
What would be recommeded spine with this information?
I will also have a look at the arrows you recommended. Thanks again for the help!
@@eslixgaming756 You will have to check company spine charts but I think you will be needing a 350-400 spine arrow. Bare in mind your current arrows could be cut down to a minimum of about 27 inches carbon to carbon. The closer the arrow is to the rest, the more control the rest has. You can visualise this by nocking your arrow and push the string left or right and you'll see how a shorter arrow has less deflection.
Realistically though, I don't think a vap or a 3DHV is going to majorly improve your indoor scores, by all means you need a consistent arrow but anyone will tell you the shooter needs good consistency too.
If you have a tendency to shoot more outdoor you might as well pick the vap, and you could probably use the sport grade but regardless I'd reduce your arrow length to about 28.5inches for now.
@@liamboyle9199 i forgot to tell that my current ali express arrows are very flexible. The spine is not adviced for my bow. It says 500 but compared to arrows others at my club shoot ( same spine but waaaay more stiff ) i would say my arrows have a higher spine that it says on the arrows. Thays mainly why i wanna upgrade. I was thinking going from a 2 dollar chinese arrow to a 15 dollar victory arrow would improve my scores to at least 290+ assuming my technique is consistant. Also I dont have the tools to shorten my current arrows anyways and like I said there is no archery store close to my home. I already asked my not so local store for advice. Just waiting for reply. I see and hear alot of positive things about Victory arrows. Thats why I was interested in them
@@eslixgaming756 Just bare in mind you can shoot a softer spine and they may react better on poor shots. Now in this case because these may be too far on the soft side
Are you wearing xsight glasses?
Thoughts on shooting these out of a recurve?
The theory of tapered shafts have always been around. Many shafts have existed before. I think recurve is so hard, that there is so much variation in the release and the archer it is hard to justify. Go back to the 1980 when Rick McKinney shot 1300 with Alloy arrows.
I cant get these arrows to shoot at all
VXT 1 or VXT 3 or VXT 6 ?
Unless you are world class the difference is minimal
So I'm a fluctuating shooter. Heck, I thought I just had stage fright.
If. U spend that much on your bow u should buy the arrows u know u will
torque eliminating arrows........great for hunters.
Hitting the back of an arrow isn’t “Robin Hooding”... it’s hitting the back of an arrow or nock breaking. Did you do any research at all before making the video?? No comparison between these and other comparable brand arrows... you don’t really know point weight in the other arrows you have... just 10 minutes of preparation would help.
Tony, I think you need to re-write that Robin Hood comment.
You are saying that hitting the back of the arrow (which Steven did causing a nock to break) isn't a Robin Hood but hitting the back of an arrow or nock breaking is?
The reason why his arrow didnt split his other arrow which called a Robin hood is becaude he uses pin nocks. These special nocks makes is so you cant split your arrows. Only your nock will break. So yea officially its not a robin hood if you dont split the arrow but if he didnt use pin nocks he would have split the arrow. So your comment is kinda irelevant and rude. At my archery club we all call hitting an arrow in de back a robin hood cuz thats what it is. Except pin nocks minimizes the damage done to the arrow.
It’s not a Robin Hood. Simple. As any experienced archer. If the pin was perfectly fine as he said then he didn’t hit the exact back of the arrow. He just hit or glanced off the nock.
@@pellet_on_pellet thats the point with pin nocks, you cant robin hood your arrow. Like I said, if he didnt use pin nocks it would have been a robin hood.
@@pellet_on_pellet I am not saying it isn't a Robin Hood mate, I was purely pointing out that what you said did not really make sense.
