Title: VAP inserts bending?
Post by: CEO on November 12, 2015, 02:13:00 AM

Anyone else having problems with Victory VAP inserts bending? I put some broadheads on some arrows I've been practicing with and they all wobbled. Problem was solved with new inserts. They were shot into a soft bag target. Doesn't give me a lot of confidence that they'll hold up to a hard bone hit.

Never had one bend from a bag target.  But if you hit an arrow or a support in a 3d target they are done.

They are a known weak link, just like the GT Kinetics inserts! There is a guy that makes stainless steel and i think titanium inserts for them, I'm sure if you Google it you could find them, they ain't cheap though!

Do yourself a favor and get some outserts from firenok. I switched for the same reason and the outserts dont bend. Ive shot 3 hogs, a bear, deer and antelope this year with out a single bend.

Yea the VAP outserts are garbage, even had the stainless steel ones bend. Try Firenocks Aeroutserts
