Arrow Choice, 350 or 400?
I am shooting a Bowtech Realm, 60lb limbs that are maxed. 28” draw length.
I’ve been shooting Victory RIP’s, sport 400. They shoot great and I’ve taken 2 deer with them so far. but I need new arrows and was thinking I would go to Victory VAPs, and I’m debating between 350s and 400s. Looking for some real world input. Thanks |
Hey I ran your bow through SFAX arrow software just to double check my opinion.
You would be better suited with the 350's. Even with the standard 34g aluminum SHOK outsert and a 100gr broadhead they are showing as slightly weak. If you want to be able to up the weight forward or use heavier broadheads in the future a 350 is definitely the way to go. Hope that helps a bit. |
Need to know your arrow length and point weight.
|
Arrow length is 27.5” and I’m using 100 grain tips and broad heads.

Thanks so much for the opinion. Makes a lot of sense. |
Always lean to the stiffer spine especially if you are planning on hunting with fixed blade broadheads. You will find tuning for fixed blades a fair bit easier if you use a stiffer spine.

I've been shooting the Victory VAP's for years. Great arrow! I'm at 63lbs, 29" arrow and am shooting the 350's. Started with the 400's when I was at 55 lbs but like Lefty says, you're better to shoot a stiffer arrow if you're on the cusp between spines on charts. The new SHOK outserts are much better than the old green ones. A lot stronger and don't bend as easy.

I shoot 28.5" Victory VAP 350 arrows out of my Hoyt Carbon Spyder at 63lbs, with 100gr points and they shoot very well.
|
Just an update. I went with the 350s and they seem to be shooting great.
Thanks for all the advice. |
