I saw that Victory has come out with the RIP XV (extreme velocity) shafts and these things are light! Only 7.0 GPI for a .300 spine shaft!? That almost seems dangerous to me, but maybe I am wrong? Here is a link-

These should really hit the spot for the speed freaks out there. I would probably use a good fixed blade for whitetail, but wouldn't it be tough to get a fixed head to fly well at higher velocities? Thoughts on these?

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.
