Victory arrow choice

[CascadeHunter180]

Hello everyone. As the title says, I need some help choosing a victory arrow.

I have been shooting the VAP V1 Elites, which are very high quality and rated highest on their straightness scale. I need to buy another dozen arrows before late archery elk and was looking at the other VAP options, the gamer and the sport. To me it just looks like they are rated worse on the straightness scale, does this matter for a mediocre skilled archer under 60 yards? Thanks.

Shooting fixed blades, yes.

Especially if you have a longer arrow length.


With a shorter shaft, you can choose which end to cut a lot of times and make them straighter, I think victory measures straightness on full length, so you can possibly cut 3-4" off straightening them up a bit.


It's one of the easier things to do to get better BH flight, buy straighter arrows.

By cutting from both ends of the shafts, I have never had any broadhead flight issues. My routine is to cut 1” off the back, and the remainder from the front.

Agree with the two posts above.

We generally lean towards the Gamer or Sport series from Victory but take off equal amounts from front and back. Can usually get them cut to a .001 without having to pay for the difference.

I bought two dozen RIP TKO, one dozen elite, the other sport. After testing all summer, I selected my six most tightly grouping half-dozen: four were sport, two elite. After nock tuning, the sport flew best out to 70 yards. I cut just off the front. Next round, I'm planning to do what shooter mike suggests, and cut 1 inch off the back and the rest off the front.
