Interested in these also. Any info?

Have been using these arrows as my outdoor 3D arrow. They fly nice, they are spine aligned, and I have had no troubles with them as far as durability. The penetration of these arrows is outstanding, however I have been running the VAP for my hunting arrows.

If you use the 60 grain ss insert the arrow weight goes up as well as foc. I think they would be a good set up.

I thought about these as well but I went with the regular RIPs. Just a bit worried about the durability of the xv being so light.

I'm using them for hunting late season as I just got my reign 6 tuned and about sighted in with them. If I get the chance to let the air out of a deer with one ill let you know how it went.

They are fragile especially up front. I would try a footer setup if you can. I had bad luck with both the victory half outs and the HIT inserts.

Killed 8 with xv 300 2 were, shoulder shots and no collar on any of them and had one of the shoulder shots snap off the broadhead in the HIT insert, but I do agree a, footer would make it even better.
I run a 75 brass hit in mine. If I were to hunt elk, bear etc... I'd use a footer for sure. I have the iron will footers for them just for elk hunting.

The only time my arrows broke were when deer fell on it (spine hit)

The only arrow that imo I can say was actually fragile. Id try a few before I went all in on a dozen. For hunting, I think they’ll wishing you hadn’t.
