Victory RIP TKO vs Black Eagle Rampage questions

[Vandal 44]

Just got off the phone with Jason over at Black Eagle and he told me to send in the ones that didn’t meet specks and they will test them and replace.

I have been using the VAP elite without out issue, very consistent and durable.

Got a new bow and I’m a hair under spined with Pro Hunter 340’s with 50 extra grains up front. I’ve settled in on these 2 arrows. Any comparisons or great luck

What are your specs? I am partial to Victory rips go 300 if 340 is not stiff enough

I’m shooting a VXR 28” draw and 65 pounds.

I shot rampages for the last few years. Had much better luck with the HIT inserts (I used Easton but many used IW).

Trying the Easton axis arrows this year and haven't had to cull any. Usually had 1 rampage that wouldn't spin well. Just getting into shooting again this year though so long term durability is still up for debate.

What is your arrow length from noch groove to right at tour insert.

Victories run weak.

Victories run weak.

I've been playing around with some Victory RIP TKO 250's with 200-225gr up front at 75lbs and almost 33" draw and they have tuned up just fine. I haven't seen any indications that they run weak at all, even with fixed blade BH's. But I'll try and get them on a RAM spine tester this week and see how they are while static.

Playing with various 300's I find them to be closer to a slightly stiffer 340. Like ~320

Like Ronald Regan use to say "trust but verify", I shoot a lot of victory arrows I always check "spine alignment".

 

[elksrunningwild6969@gmail]

Agree with you 1stSgt M on checking the spine alignment.

What have you found with those spine marks? Are they close? Right on? Or just all over the place?

 

[elksrunningwild6969@gmail]

I like the arrow & enjoy the durability but have found the spine aline off a little on a couple shafts out the the 3 dozen I currently own.

I got 2 dozen RIP TKO shafts from Jerry at SSAS, he always tests for the stiff side and marks it on the shafts. I just checked those shafts and only 2 of the 24 are marked in the same spot as Victory's mark. But as I've said before, it doesn't matter because I nock tune everything. All I care about is the arrows hitting behind my pins. I could care less where the marks are. And in most cases from my experience, that's totally random from where any marks are.

 

[elksrunningwild6969@gmail]

Agree %

Like others have stated they are inconsistent out of the 3 dozen I have at least a half dozen didn't match up, its enough to check. As 5MilesBack pointed out if you nock tune the marks are some what immaterial.

I have a feeling most of us overrate our ability in relationship to the quality of the equipment.

My opinion is the TKOs are better than the Black Eagle simply because they're a lot tougher and they're neck in neck with the BEs in consistency.
