I need to get more arrows, I have been using rip tko the last few years. Thinking about trying the Easton 5.0 or the victory hlr. What’s everyone going to try this year

Rip XV 250 spine are 8.1 GPI. Can add all the weight to the front where it belongs. Some think they are brittle/weak but it hasn’t been the case for me. Shooting them out of a Mach34 at 86lbs and have had great success. Another benefit is the price, can be had from podium archery for $170/dozen. Wanted to try the HLR but I don’t want the extra weight.

I’ve been shooting the Victory for a few years now and have nothing but positive to say about performance.

But I’m jumping ship this year as Easton is American made and now has arrows that don’t weigh as much as a bowling ball.

I know a couple guys who have been shooting them in testing before release and completely swear by them.

Plus they are a bit cheaper than Victory and if you go Match Grade, you get collars.

I have been running GT Pro Hunters for years with the 50 grain aluminum insert, and they have served me well. But…..the Easton Axis 5.0 has my interest peaked for reasons like listed in the post above.

I still have a stockpile of Easton Axis 5mm Match Grades, so I’m probably sticking with those for the foreseeable future. They’re pretty bombproof IMO. The new Easton 5.0 looks pretty good, like others said, much lighter weight per inch than the Axis. I think my overall total AW would be around 50grs less just due to the lighter shaft

I'm in the same boat. Thinking about switching to easton as well.
