Got these in the mail yesterday and last night I was do a quick look/see on my spine checker. None of them varied more than +/- .005 for spine around shaft which, to me, is excellent. I used to use Carbon Tech Whitetail XP's (still have some) but they changed their pricing to ridiculous and, regardless of how high quality they are, could no longer justify buying them. Talked to a few folks about these Victorys and decided to give them a go. I think they will work out nicely. Will have to see how the spine holds up over time and shooting.
I use a Ram Products spine checker. While it may not be worth it for everyone I use it a fair bit when getting new arrows a building them. I separate arrows into like groups even though, most times, the differences are so small it likely doesn't matter and I mark the shafts so that the stiffest "side" can be "up" in relation to my arrow rest. I know, all anal BS, but it keeps me out of the bars and I bought the spine tester with the money I saved from not carousing all night :D . http://www.ram-products.com/
Thanks. While it won't be on the top of the list to purchase, I thought it would be a fun "toy" to have. I would be curious to put a batch of my ACCs on one and see how they stack up to many people's claims of them having a very consistent spine.
Good to hear Bruce. I just fletched up a dozen of their V1 X Killer's last night for indoor season. I only culled one from the dozen, and could have probably gotten it right if I had cut from one end instead of both. That's amazing for me, with other brands of carbon I was culling 3-6 arrows on average out of a dozen.
I have had this kind of quality with the CT's but they now cost just about $55 more a dozen than the Victory's. I got these particular shafts for a pretty good deal, $66 per dozen, so they were approximately $85 less than if I had gotten CT's. One other side benefit is that these shafts (.300's) are.4 of a grain per inch heavier. That's right up my alley LOL.
