victory shafts kick butt!!!!!!! best tolerence quality control in the business. The shafts start at .006 straightness for the low end and the high end arrows are .001 straightness with + or - 1/2 a grain throughout the entire dozen. These bad boys spin so long I got tired of watching one the other day. You owe it to yourself to check them out they are bad mo fo's. And best of all deer hate them. good luck and shoot straight.

Stick with your ST Epics if you like a durable arrow.... Victory has a LOT of quality control problems....

Just curious where you heard that? I have heard nothing but good about these arrows. I'm not calling you out I would just like to see the information for myself.
Thanks,

No problem on calling me out..... I received a doz to try out... I also have 2 friends that purchased 2 doz. One friend got the x-ringers like myself, and one got the v-force. Both sets of arrows had problems @ the nock end. The x-ringers also were not correctly sized for the inserts recommended. Victory WOULD NOT REPLACE the arrows.... they just said they have other inserts that you can buy.....
The Victory line is just a copy of the Gold Tip line..... if Gold Tip thought it was safe to lower the GPI of their arrows.... woudn't you think they would be doing that also???

i havent seen an arrow yet that has the durability of my epics. they are light very strong and very accurate. also have very good penetration. i think ill stick with them. plus they arent real expensive.

Thanks for your firsthand account. I like to always try and listen to both sides good and bad that way I can then make an informed decision.

ST epics are very durable arrows I will admit as I used to shoot them, but now I shoot Victory HV's . Here's why...There spined at .350 from 62-72 pd's. The shaft is smaller than the epic and the arrow is over 30 gr's lighter. If you like flat out speed and good flight with broadheads for huntin victory rules. for slappin arrows together messing around shootin bags go with epic's. My 2 cents:director:

i was told by someone on here who use to be a victory dealer to stay away from them.he said they crack pretty easily and really aren't that durable. i get plenty of speed with my st epics and very good ke. i dont want to go to light. i mean yea ill gain some speed but ill loose my ke. speed is for 3d, ke is for hunting.

Just ordered some Victory HV in 1 400 series for the GTO. I hope they are as good as what they say. I do not know what you blokes are complaining about as they are $110 per dozen here in Australia. The specs are for this. GTO 71.8 Lbs 29" draw, arrows cut at 28 with 100 grain Heads.

I went back to shooting my Eastons. I just did not see the benefits of shooting Victorys. Other than you can get down to an IBO arrow real easy. I switched over to the new lightspeed 3d and I am liking them a lot.
Just my .02

I have not had any problems with the victory shafts, I shoot the 500 v force v1's and of my original dozen I still have eight. These went through 3-d season and hunting season never broke a arrow. I lied to you I did break 4 arrows thats why I have eight left. The four were a result of shooting so nice the result of robin hood per say. I find them very durable and have one shaft that has taken 4 does and a buck all with the same arrow. Five deer on one shaft does not sound to me like they break easy. Try them out I think you will be quite pleased with them. I am very pleased with them myself.
