Victory VAP Sport arrow review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- The Victory VAP arrow is a .166 shaft so it is a very thin carbon arrow. The VAP arrow comes in a hunting version with inserts and a target version without inserts.
The thickness of the VAP arrow is like a Easton Carbon One, Gold Tip Pierce, Win and Win Tornado.
I shoot the Victory VAP at 18 meters into a foam target to check the accuracy of the .006 shaft, durability and removal from foam target compared to other arrows. The VAP arrow shaft retails in Australia at $135dz

I’ve had the same experience with Bloodsport arrows. You can pickup a half dozen .006 Hunter arrows for $25 US. They shoot really well and make a great practice arrow. And you don’t want to hang yourself if you break a few of them.
I’m definitely checking out the Victory Sport arrow. Your recommendation carries a lot of experience behind it that I find quite valuable!
i like that you are going all in on victory right now. I hope gold tip regrets their recent decisions. regardless, I think victory actually has a good product right now. just what the industry needs to keep every one honest.
Impressive for such a cheap arrow! Congratulations on the very nice scores! The VAP Target Elite shafts that I just bought are supposed to be true to a thousandth. My riser and sight are on backorder and are supposed to ship on June 16. Until then my bow is a Samick Sage which is shot mostly bare bow but also some with a three pin Trophy Ridge hunting sight. When the parts arrive (Win&Win Winnex II / Shibuya Ultima II) I will be able to put my bow together and give the arrows a test. The points that I got are 110gr. I will build three arrows first and try to determine if the weight is correct. These will be used with 40# limbs.
I used to love shooting as a kid with cheap fiberglass recurves. I will be 50 in a few months and had the desire to start bow hunting with a recurve. The Sage was supposed to take care of that with 30# limbs for long practice sessions and 50# limbs for shorter sessions as well as hunting. Well one thing led to another and I rediscovered how fun target shooting can be especially since I have been doing it with two of my kids ages 9 and 11. They have been using a Mathews Genesis backed off to around 12 pounds. It’s funny but my 11 year old really likes the Sage at 30 pounds! Although at her draw length it is only about 19 pounds. As long as her form is good she can draw and hold anchor without any straining or I wouldn't let her do it. She shoots more accurately with the Sage then with the Genesis!
Keep up the great reviews / instructional vids.
Hahaha I shoot with that South African & daaaamn can he shoot. He said the same to me when I was considering going back to VAP. That was enough to convince me to go back. Can't be happier.
Glad you are now stocking them. :)
They look great. So happy to shoot 298 with .006 straightness. The good shots where all X's. Danie works hard to shoot like that.
Danie works super hard.
Danie jnr is the scary one though.
Vaughn is also working super hard ;)
A good club.
I shoot these arrows every day and also go through alot of nocks! Was Hoping you would do review on aluminum nocks.
I got me 38x the Victory 3D.HV ( Elite) 700 spine, which are the diameter of Easton Axis.
( .204 )
l wish l worked at your store bro,u got all the cool stuff
Just go to the local store and do some free work. That is how my staff started. We are expanding. It is hard to get staff. It takes along time to learn. The pay tends to be poor. Or you start your own business.
Been shooting the VAP TKO Elites and can't say enough good things about them. But being a bow hunter and not a target archers I'm considering the same arrow in the Gamer or Sport series. If I'm going to hit in the same spot then I should probably save myself some money. Shooting as well as you did with the Sport series I don't see how my shooting would suffer from not buying their tightest tolerance version. Would you agree with me on that? If not, I may just keep throwing money away when my shooting will not be greatly improved by spending the extra money.
Ty ......i will try them
Why are you not taking advantage of the spine alignment. You should fletch odd vane in line with label and shoot label up. They actually have an arrow on the label showing you the spine. I've shot victory here in the states for a long time. You won't shoot a better shaft. Look into the spine alignment and use it. You left it out of your reviews. It the one thing that truly separates victory from everyone else.
You mentioned Stramit targets toward the end. Where can I find these panels (South Australia). I did a web search recently and I can't find the old compressed straw panels they used to make. Maybe my Google Fu is weak...
Is better than Carbon One?
Good to hear, cause I just ordered a dozen of them today. What is the outside diameter of the 500 spine.
250,300 .241", 350 .234", 400-500 .229" So for hunting they have different size outserts. Inside size is the same.
Thank you.
Can you do a Hoyt Epik riser video?
My sons shoots powerflights as he is still a recreational shooter would you say these are equal to or much better than the eastons
I would say - I have never heard of a good score with Powerflights. Im sure some where someone has. But they are more a recreational arrow. With the Powerflight you need to jump to a different arrow. I would say the powerflights are not as tough. But it depends on you. So if you don't break Powerflights then stick with them.
I had a hunter who broke a heap of Powerflights - I said sure they are cheaper but they cost more in the long run. You don't want to break arrows. You want good resuts and you want the arrows to last.
good review just have a few questions
are they all the same spine? if not what spine stiffnesses do they come in?
are the shafts nocked and fletched just gotta buy the tips?
No they come in heaps of spines - The VAP Sport target which I am shooting comes in 250-1200 spine. Im shooting 350 with 140 grain point.
They come with the nocks pushed in. Bohning F nock. I will fit pins eventually. I fletched mine with Bohning Air Vanes.
The Hunting VAP shafts which are the same but with inserts come in 250-500 spine.
Thanks Steve. Look forward to giving them a go
which Bieter pin nocks do you use on your VAP pin nocks
hunter
Hi, what Victory arrow do you recommend for Recurve bow 38 pounds .Right now i am shooting easton with 630 spine.
Thank you!!
It depends on the draw. I shoot 600 with 42# 28.5" at 38# I shot 700. Victory - it is about price an the shaft you choose. Im going to start out with VAP Target 600 with 120gr. Someone suggested they are slightly stiffer. For Indoor Im going to try the 23 with 150grain points and see how I go. Should be a week, till I start to try them. I will post a video.
Super impressed with 298 twice. Honestly while it was not the highest score I have shot it was the most forgiving arrows I have shot.
Thank you . My draw is 28" with a arrow length 31,5" and I shoot only outdoor. Good review !!!
Yeah, I'm hanging out for that video ~ ~ ~ the "23s" with 150grain !!!
I am waiting to watch and learn about your 42# W&W Recurve with these arrows !!
But it's only at 18m...... Outdoors at longer distances would be a better review.
👍👍👍👍👍
That's not a cheap arrow. 170.00
