Victory VAP Help?
« on: January 09, 2016, 12:58:00 PM »
Guys,

Looking at moving to Victory's VAP arrows for my 60" 60#@28" Dale Dye and 60" 52#@28 Tall Tines. I like to cut my arrows right at about 29/29.5" and I am using 150gn WWs.

Victory's charts are telling me I should be using 450s for the Dye and 500s for the TT. Does that sound about right for folks who are using them?

I thought I'd need them a bit stiffer but want to check before I drop the wallet and forgo the mortgage payment and wife's B-Day!   :saywhat:
Dale Dye Trails End 60" 55#@28"
Dale Dye Medicine Point 58” 53#@28"
Schafer Silvertip 60" 55#@28"
Stalker Wolverine FXT 60" 51#@28"

Victory VAP are a lightweight target type arrow.Sounds alittle light spined for a 60# bow,plus even with the 150 gr. head you will have an arrow that will weigh less then 500 grs.Easton Injexion are the same diameter but have a heavier GPI then Victory VAP.My Victory VAP 400 has a 7.1 GPI and my Easton Injexion 400 have a 8.9 GPI.My Injexion 400 I put in VAP insert/outsert,which gave me more choices in point weight or broadheads.The Injexion factory insert is a Deep Six HIT insert which uses points or broadheads with a 6/40 thread,limited choice for broadheads.The factory VAP insert/outsert can get bent on hard hits.I better choice is Firenock insert/outsert for the VAP or Injexion,much stronger.I shoot an Easton Injexion 400 with a VAP insert/outsert and 125 gr, point out of my Dryad Orion with ACS RC limbs 51#@28.Easton Injexion have a higher GPI then Victory VAP but don't come in as many different spines.As far as length I let my tuning determine the final length with carbon arrows.The arrows may work for your bows,you may have to build out the side plate alittle?

The VAP are better for higher F.O.C. I shoot 56# at 29". VAP 400, with firenock outsert and 200 grn point. Fly like darts and went all the way through a bear, deer and antelope this year. I'm very impressed with this set-up.
