Big Agness recently updated the design of the Copper Spur line within the last month or so, and in doing so dropped the "HV" from the title. The newer ones (Non-HV) have a new proprietary fabric that is supposed to be a touch lighter and more water repellent. My guess would be to offer something...
Agree with most that component style, availability and price for you will probably be the deal breaker. Don't think you can go wrong with either shaft. Good luck with your tinkering!
the 4 pin concept of the UV Slider with the UV3XL scope has been the perfect blend for me. 3 horizontal pins on a slider for hunting sake has been optimal versatility and sight picture, with the bonus stubby 4th pin for 3D and TAC style archery shoots to squeak out just a little more range.
I'm sure durability suffers when comparing to thicker shafts of different carbon weaves, but when comparing apples to apples of similarly marketed shafts across the industry, 5.0's probably perform just as well as the rest. With the reputation of the Axis shaft, i'd be willing to bet they're top...
I think it comes down self evaluation of the value of your time spent in your hobby. If you're willing to take the extra minutes to weight match components (like Mfjj in his tinkering videos), and you enjoy doing it, more power to you. It's likely to remove a small percentage of inconsistency...
Those who shoot or have experience with the newer Victory HLR shafts, why did you/do you choose it over similar shafts like the new Easton 5.0, Gold Tip Airstrike, or other?
Considering trying some new arrows. Leaning Easton 5.0 for cost/quality, but never shot Victory and curious. Currently...
Flo Yellow has been best for me in my experience, though i could see some brighter lighting or foliage as challenges. i would suggest Flo Pink as second.
I think think in the hunting community the sport is evolving and becoming more of just that, a sport. 3D in event styles like the TAC or similar have never been more popular. I am sure it is different state by state. The other change is the cost of equipment now days. People, especially younger...
I dont have experience with PA's inserts in the 5.0, but i have used their titanium .204 HIITs and Ti short collars on my .204 GT Airstrikes and the tolerances are tight all around in both weight consistency and fit.
I've got two seasons of Colorado archery elk on my Pro 6000 and have minimal complaints. I don't have experience under another pack beyond comparing/trying my hunting partners around camp. (Mystery Ranch Beartooth 80?, Kifaru 44Mag, Kuiu PRO LT 7000). The pack is among the lightest out there and...
