I've shot the RIP TKO and VAP TKO arrows for a few years. The RIP TKO are durable arrows as long as you don't hit nocks with your field points (tight groups). The RIP TKO will typically chip or crack at the end of the arrow if you hit the nock. In my experience VAP TKO arrows are much more durable than RIP TKO. If you are able to compare the two side by side look at the wall thickness difference, the VAP TKO are much thicker than the RIP TKO.
